Job Description

We're exclusively partnering with a well-established Melbourne business that is investing in the way it delivers technology projects.
n This is a newly created role, the first dedicated project management position in the business, focused on the delivery of operational technology projects end-to-end. You'll report to the Head of Technology and work alongside a small but growing technology team.
n There is a varied program of work ahead, spanning infrastructure and cloud, business systems, and emerging technology. Delivery is a mix of vendor-led work and work sitting with internal technical staff, so you'll move between managing external partners and driving activity within the team.
n This is a role for someone who has been the only project manager in an SME environment and is comfortable building the structure themselves, rather than working within an established PMO.
