Surry Hills | Hybrid | 12-month contract Step into a pivotal role driving one of the most significant technology transformations in Australian media. A large media company is looking for an exceptional Senior Technology Project Manager to spearhead a critical workstream in an enterprise-scale program. You'll lead the technical delivery of a best-in-breed Planning and Authoring platform, replacing legacy systems with contemporary, story‑centric workflows that publish seamlessly across digital, social, and print—rolling out across more than thirty newsrooms.
This is more than a delivery role. It demands a commercially savvy leader with genuine emotional intelligence—someone who can read the room, unite editorial, operations, and technology leaders around a shared direction, and champion cultural change while still hitting the numbers on time and on budget. What you’ll be doing:
Driving the technical rollout of the platform from early design through staggered deployment across 30+ newsrooms - Partnering directly with top‑tier SaaS media vendors, holding them to rigorous governance and delivery standards - Navigating a complex organisational matrix—aligning editorial, ops, and tech stakeholders around a digital‑first culture - Overseeing data migrations, security protocols, and transition architecture as legacy systems are retired - Owning critical path, scope, budget, and risk across the workstream from initiation to implementation What you’ll bring:
10+ years leading complex, multi-workstream transformation projects - Deep experience with digital platforms, SaaS, and enterprise systems integration - A proven track record managing top‑tier technology vendors — media/publishing domain experience highly regarded - Solid grasp of digital publishing, content workflows, and what up-to-date newsrooms need to thrive - Disciplined program governance, with runs on the board delivering platform replacements and phased legacy migrations
