Our Opportunity:

We’re seeking a Senior Technical Project Manager to lead the delivery of complex, enterprise scale initiatives across networking, infrastructure, cloud, and cybersecurity. You’ll own the full project lifecycle from business case development through to execution and operational handover ensuring delivery is on time, on budget, and strategically aligned.  While you’ll support a broad portfolio of enterprise technology projects, your initial focus will be a critical datacentre and network modernisation program, uplifting infrastructure across core and remote sites as part of a broader transformation agenda.

In this high-impact role, you’ll act as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders, influencing direction, scope, and outcomes through strong governance, proactive risk management, and commercial discipline. You’ll also play a key role in uplifting delivery capability by reinforcing execution discipline, mentoring teams, and embedding a culture of accountability and performance.

Accountabilities include:

• Lead the end-to-end delivery of complex, multi-stream technology projects and programs - from business case development through to operational handover
• Develop and manage integrated project plans that align with strategic objectives, balance competing priorities, and drive coordinated execution across delivery streams
• Own the RAID process, ensuring proactive identification and mitigation of risks and issues throughout the project lifecycle
• Establish and execute robust change management strategies, aligned to business impacts, supported by fit-for-purpose communication and training plans
• Drive project governance, coordinating working groups, steering committees, and stakeholder forums with clear, outcome-driven reporting and presentations
• Manage project budgets, resource allocations, and delivery schedules, ensuring transparency and accountability across all aspects of performance
• Lead vendor and partner engagement, aligning external delivery with scope, quality, and compliance expectations
• Monitor delivery performance, resolve delivery blockers, and drive continuous improvement through post-implementation reviews and actionable insights

About You:

To be successful in the role you will be an accomplished delivery leader able to demonstrate the following experience:

• 10+ years’ experience delivering projects and programs in complex, compliance-driven environments such as financial services, healthcare, or other regulated sectors
• Proven track record delivering high-impact technology outcomes across datacentre modernisation, network transformation, SD-WAN rollout, and multi-cloud migrations (Azure, AWS)
• Confident leading from strategy through to execution, ensuring delivery stays aligned with business priorities and is executed with pace, discipline, and precision
• Skilled in navigating matrix environments, aligning cross-functional teams and stakeholders to deliver outcomes in fast-paced, high-pressure settings
• Strong commercial acumen, with hands-on experience in budget management, resource planning, and vendor engagement (across time-and-materials and outcome-based models)
• Well-versed in project governance, with the ability to influence, engage, and report confidently at senior and executive levels
• Known for solving complex problems, managing through ambiguity, and maintaining focus on business outcomes under pressure
• Degree in IT, Business, or a related field from a recognised tertiary institution
• Proficient in structured delivery methodologies such as PRINCE2 or PMP
• Experience using Wrike to manage project execution, resource allocation, and reporting is highly regarded

What’s on Offer:
