Project Manager – 12 Month Fixed Term Contract

JS Careers are partnering with a leading law firm for a Project Manager role supporting an infrastructure and cloud transformation programme. The ideal candidate is an Agile-certified project delivery professional (potentially an infrastructure & cloud specialist, or a business analyst who has stepped into project management) with a broad skill set in Agile ways of working.

The role:

You'll sit within a Project Portfolio team, working primarily alongside the infrastructure function while also picking up cross-team initiatives spanning finance systems and other management systems. This is a wide-ranging, hands-on role suited to someone who thrives on breadth over depth and enjoys frequent collaboration with a hands-on manager.

You'll be responsible for:

- Planning, leading, and delivering projects end-to-end using Agile principles, with a primary focus on infrastructure and cloud initiatives (including an active on-premises to Azure migration).
- Identifying resource requirements, resolving constraints, and tracking KPIs, milestones, and deliverables.
- Building and maintaining strong relationships with stakeholders across IT, business leadership, and external vendors.
- Managing project budgets, including cost estimation, tracking, and reporting.




- Identifying and mitigating project risks, and ensuring compliance with governance standards.
- Supporting broader initiatives such as case management and finance system rollouts, and contributing to AI-enabled process improvements.

What we're looking for:

- Agile certification such as AgilePM, SAFe or PRINCE2 Agile is essential.
- A minimum of 5 years' demonstrated experience delivering projects in an Agile environment.
- Background in a regulated industry — legal, financial services, healthcare, or government experience highly regarded.
- Infrastructure and/or cloud project experience is a strong advantage, particularly candidates with Azure migration exposure.
- Candidates moving from a BAU infrastructure, cloud, or DevOps background into project delivery are welcomed.
- Interest or experience in AI-enabled delivery practices would be well regarded.

This is a 12-month fixed-term contract based in Sydney, with a high likelihood of extension. If you're an Agile-certified Project Manager with a broad delivery background and an interest in infrastructure and cloud transformation, please reach out to Reuben Godfrey for a confidential conversation at [email protected].
