1. Role Summary - BHIVE Group is looking for a Program Manager to plan, coordinate and deliver IT programs spanning infrastructure and network, cybersecurity, and ERP implementation. This is a program-management role, not a technical specialist role - the focus is on driving delivery, not building solutions hands-on.

The successful candidate leads through people and process: orchestrating internal teams, vendors and stakeholders to deliver programs on time, within budget, and in line with BHIVE s IT policies, SOPs and governance standards.

A working understanding of the IT domains involved is sufficient - enough to converse credibly with technical teams and vendors, ask the right questions, and make informed prioritisation and risk decisions. Deep, hands-on expertise in networking, security or ERP configuration is not required; robust program-management discipline is.

- Produce dashboards and reports on program health, KPIs and milestones for the SVP - IT and leadership.

Governance, Policies & Documentation

- Develop, maintain and enforce IT policies, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and process documentation across programs.
- Establish and run governance routines - change management, access reviews, asset and license/subscription governance, and vendor governance.
- Maintain an audit-ready documentation repository (SharePoint) and support internal and external audits and compliance requirements.
- Ensure every program adheres to security and governance controls from initiation through closure.

- Planning: Planning & scheduling - building realistic plans, critical-path and dependency management across parallel workstreams.
- Stakeholders: Stakeholder management - aligning cross-functional teams, managing expectations and communicating with clarity at all levels.
