About the Company

Our client is an Australian technology and systems integration organisation delivering complex solutions across critical, highly operational environments.

With a focus on secure ICT, integrated systems and mission-critical technology, they partner with government, infrastructure and enterprise clients where reliability, integration and operational performance are essential.

The business is currently supporting a major technology implementation and is seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager to strengthen delivery leadership across the programme.

About the Role

This is a hands-on Senior Project Manager role supporting a complex technology implementation already underway.

Working closely with senior project leadership, client stakeholders, technology partners and delivery teams, you will drive day-to-day delivery, strengthen project governance and maintain momentum through key implementation and go-live milestones.

This role would suit a senior PM who can step into an established delivery environment, quickly understand the landscape, and bring structure, accountability and visibility across a broad stakeholder group.

This is not a purely administrative PMO position. You will actively lead delivery, manage stakeholders, identify issues early and drive them through to resolution.

Key Responsibilities

- Coordinate internal teams, client stakeholders and external technology vendors
- Maintain alignment across scope, schedule, deliverables, milestones and dependencies
- Drive accountability for actions, commitments and key delivery outcomes




- Identify, manage and escalate project risks, issues and potential delivery impacts
- Lead project meetings and establish an effective delivery cadence
- Prepare clear project updates, status reports and executive-level reporting
- Support governance forums and senior stakeholder meetings
- Maintain RAID, action, decision, dependency and deliverables registers
- Track critical-path activities and ensure delivery milestones remain on track
- Facilitate stakeholder engagement, decision-making and issue resolution
- Support planning and coordination for testing, UAT, operational readiness and go-live
- Work closely with senior project leadership to maintain delivery confidence and programme momentum

Skills & Experience

To be successful in this role, you will bring:

- 10+ years' project management experience, ideally within complex technology, ICT or systems integration environments
- Demonstrated experience delivering large-scale technology implementations from planning through to go-live
- Strong stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to work across senior executives, client teams, technical specialists and delivery partners
- Experience managing multiple vendors, external partners and internal delivery teams
- A practical understanding of project governance, delivery controls, schedules, dependencies and reporting
- Proven experience managing RAID registers, actions, decisions and delivery risks
- Solid written communication skills and the ability to produce clear, concise executive reporting
- The ability to bring structure to an active delivery environment, identify issues early and keep momentum moving
- A proactive, commercially minded approach, with the confidence to influence outcomes without direct authority
