About ITHR Tech
ITHR Tech is a cybersecurity services company helping organizations across the UAE and Middle East strengthen their security posture through practical, outcome-driven programs.
Our work spans security operations, incident response, assessments, and advisory—often in complex, time-sensitive environments where delivery quality and stakeholder alignment are critical.
We are looking for a Project Manager who can bring structure, pace, and accountability to cybersecurity engagements, owning execution from kickoff to closure.
About the Role
As a Project Manager (Cybersecurity), you will lead the planning and delivery of multiple security engagements in parallel. You will coordinate internal and customer stakeholders, manage scope, timelines, and risks, and ensure projects are delivered on time, within agreed scope, and with high customer satisfaction.
This role is ideal for someone who is organized, proactive, execution-driven, and comfortable managing technical workstreams without needing to be the deepest technical expert in the room.
Key Responsibilities
Own end-to-end delivery of cybersecurity projects: kickoff → planning → execution → tracking → reporting → closure

Coordinate cross-functional teams including sales, pre-sales, engineering, SOC/IR, and third-party vendors
Manage scope control, including change requests, assumptions/dependencies, and SOW alignment
Lead customer governance through status calls, steering updates, action tracking, and escalation management
Ensure quality of delivery artifacts including reports, runbooks, handover documents, and acceptance sign-offs
Track timelines, utilization, and delivery forecasts for leadership reporting
Drive continuous improvement across templates, playbooks, and recurring engagement models
Requirements
Must-Have
4–8+ years of project management experience (IT, cybersecurity, or technology services preferred)
Proven experience managing multiple concurrent projects with external customers and internal technical teams
Strong stakeholder management skills (comfortable engaging IT managers through senior leadership/executives)

Strong base salary with delivery and performance-linked incentives
Hybrid flexibility
Balanced hybrid/WFH setup aligned with customer workshops and key milestones
Training & certification budget
Annual budget for PM certifications and cybersecurity learning
High-impact work
Lead projects that materially improve customer security outcomes across the region
Strong collaboration culture
Direct access to engineering, SOC/IR, and leadership for faster decision-making
Clear growth path
Progression into Senior PM, Program Manager, or Delivery Lead based on performance
