Infrastructure & Cybersecurity Resilience (ICR)

We design, build, and secure the technology foundations that power GIC’s global investment operations. We aim to deliver resilient, scalable, and secure infrastructure that empowers our people and businesses to perform securely, efficiently, and effectively.

About the role

We are seeking a seasoned Vice President-level Project Manager to lead the delivery of the EUX Transformation Programme within Technology Group (TG), Infrastructure Cybersecurity Resilience (ICR). The programme consolidates GIC's fragmented, partly legacy end-user estate onto a single governed end-state and exits with GIC operationally ready to run that end-state in BAU.

The current baseline is approximately 4,000 users across 11 global offices, around 500 Win32 / line-of-business applications delivered per device via Intune, physical endpoints alongside Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), Avaya PBX voice, Zoom meetings and about 329 non-standardised meeting rooms. The target state centres on Omnissa Horizon as the primary end-user computing platform, Microsoft Teams Phone and Teams Rooms for voice and collaboration, and secure SaaS/web access through the Island Enterprise Browser.

The incumbent will lead the programme end to end, from planning through migration and BAU handover, directing delivery through a data-driven, tooling-led migration factory under a single Control Tower governance model with vendor delivery partner. The role requires deep command of end-user infrastructure and collaboration technologies, vendor-led delivery, enterprise change management and executive stakeholder engagement, guided throughout by the Minimise User Impact principle.

Please note that this is a direct contractor position for a fixed term of 24 months. Contract renewal or extension, if any, is at GIC's discretion and subject to business need and performance; no renewal is implied. 

Key responsibilities

1. Project Leadership 

• Lead the delivery of the EUX Transformation Programme against its objectives, timelines and benefits of operational efficiency, operational risk reduction and capability building.
• Establish and run the programme management framework, operating model and governance (steering committee, working groups, RACI, stage gates) across all workstreams, aligned to TG project governance and new ways of working.
• Responsible for the governance model and the integrated master schedule, interdependencies, critical path and resourcing across the four workstreams: WS1 Control Tower, WS2 EUC Platform, WS3 Collaboration and WS4 BAU Resourcing.
  
• Manage key vendors through a structured cadence of kickoffs, stage-gate reviews, milestone acceptance, progress reporting and issue/risk escalation, holding vendors accountable for on-time, on-budget and to-specification delivery.
  
• Coordinate vendor onboarding, offboarding and knowledge transfer, ensuring a clean transition of delivered services into steady-state operations.
  
• Ensure timely escalation of programme outcomes, decisions across competing priorities, constraints and stakeholder interests.
  

2. End-User Computing Platform Delivery (WS2)

• Drive adoption of Omnissa Horizon (on-premises and on Azure) as the primary end-user computing platform, replacing AVD and selected physical endpoints, with application delivery via App Volumes, DEM-managed user environments and FSLogix profile containers.
  
• Deliver closure of current use-case gaps: Privileged Access Workstations (Secure VDI / secure cloud desktop) for Tier 0 access across on-premises and cloud; high-performance Cloud VDI for engineering personas; effective control of software downloads on standard systems; and full integration of corporate iPad / BYOD devices via Intune/Entra and Apple Business Manager.
  
• Oversee secure SaaS/web access through the Island Enterprise Browser with DLP and conditional access, and the brokering of IGEL thin clients into Horizon.
• Drive automation of in-scope components using industry-standard approaches such as Infrastructure as Code, for consistency, scalability and repeatability, in line with GIC's engineering-driven mindset.

3. Collaboration and Voice Delivery (WS3)

• Align internal meetings to Microsoft Teams, retaining Zoom as an option for external and partner meetings.
  
• Standardise the meeting-room estate on certified Microsoft Teams Rooms profiles by room typology.

4. Change Management, Risk and Stakeholder Management

• Lead enterprise-wide change management, communications and training so that the Minimise User Impact principle is upheld across all user groups, offices and personas.
• Own the programme risk framework and the RAID (risks, assumptions, issues, dependencies) log, mitigating risks to user productivity, security posture and business continuity during migration.
• Coordinate governance approvals, security and risk assessments, and regulatory or compliance engagement across jurisdictions (including per-country telephony and emergency-calling requirements).
• Maintain a structured communication cadence with senior stakeholders, including executive reporting and steering committee updates, and manage expectations at executive level.

5. Financial and Commercial Management

• Responsible for the programme budget across software, professional services, augmented vendor resources and hardware, including funding approvals (PRF), forecasting and financial governance.
• Drive cost optimisation and transparent financial reporting, and manage contract performance with vendors, including post go-live run-cost implications.

6. BAU Readiness, Reporting and Continuous Improvement

• Drive operational acceptance and readiness reviews, and manage the transition to BAU support, including WS4 BAU Resourcing, so that GIC can run the end-state operationally at programme exit.
  
• Establish programme dashboards and KPIs tracking delivery progress, migration burn-down, financials and user-impact measures.
• Capture lessons learned and embed continuous improvement into future infrastructure initiatives.
