About the role

Sitting within our Enterprise Portfolio Management Office, our Senior Project Manager will lead the end-to-end delivery of complex, high-value projects that support Health Partners’ enterprise strategy. You’ll bring structure, project leadership and great stakeholder engagement, while keeping people and their experiences at the heart of how projects are designed and delivered.

You will lead projects and coordinate delivery across an interconnected program of technology and business change. You’ll maintain an integrated view of milestones, dependencies, risks, resources and decisions, enabling leaders to understand delivery impacts and make informed prioritisation and sequencing decisions.

This role is about more than getting projects over the line. You will strengthen project delivery capability across the organisation by coaching project team members, sharing your expertise and role modelling excellent project management.

You will also bring a human-centred approach to delivery, creating an environment in which people feel supported to contribute, challenge thinking and develop solutions that reflect the needs of the people affected by change.

Key responsibilities

- Lead the end-to-end delivery of multi-stream projects, establishing clear scope, delivery approaches, priorities, accountabilities and measurable outcomes.
- Actively manage cross-project dependencies, sequencing, critical-path impacts and delivery constraints, ensuring changes to one initiative are understood and managed across the broader program.
- Work with Portfolio,



Technology and business leaders to understand delivery capacity and resource demand, identify bottlenecks early and support decisions on sequencing, prioritisation and the use of internal, contract and vendor capability.
- Lead and coordinate delivery across internal teams and external technology partners, establishing clear accountabilities, milestones and acceptance criteria, and proactively managing vendor performance, commitments and delivery risks.
- Support investment governance across the roadmap, ensuring initiatives progress through agreed business-case and delivery gates, with clear outcomes, costs, risks and measurable benefits. Track benefits through delivery and support business owners to transition accountability for benefits realisation.
- Bring a strong human-centred approach to project delivery, facilitating co-design workshops and collaborative problem-solving sessions that put people and their experiences at the centre.
- Coach, guide and uplift the capability of project team members, helping them build confidence, strengthen their delivery capability and contribute effectively.
- Build trusted relationships across the organisation, working with executives, business owners, subject matter experts and vendors to create alignment and resolve challenges.
- Champion strong project governance, proactively managing risks, issues, dependencies, budgets and reporting while contributing to better ways of working across project delivery.
- Track expected benefits throughout delivery and support business owners to take accountability for ongoing benefits realisation.

About you

You’re an experienced project leader who can bring structure, clarity and momentum,

You’re comfortable leading technology and business transformation across multiple teams, systems and vendors.

You understand how architecture, integration, data, testing, cyber, change and business readiness affect delivery, without needing to be the technical expert in each area.

Just as importantly, you enjoy developing others. You share what you know, coach people through challenges and create an environment where team members feel confident to contribute ideas, challenge thinking and grow their capability.

Human-centred design is a key part of what we’re looking for. You’ll bring demonstrated experience applying human-centred, service design or co-design approaches to complex project delivery, with the ability to facilitate co-design and collaborative problem-solving while keeping the people impacted by change front of mind.

You’ll also bring:





- At least five years' experience as a Senior Project Manager delivering complex technology and business transformation within a regulated service environment, ideally across multiple systems, vendors and business functions.
- Demonstrated experience delivering complex projects using human-centred design and co-design approaches, alongside contemporary project delivery practices.
- A genuine passion for coaching and developing others, with the ability to uplift project capability and role model what great project management looks like.
- Demonstrated experience working across technology-enabled transformation, with enough technical fluency to effectively manage architecture, integration, data, testing, cyber, vendor and business dependencies without needing to be the technical expert.
- Exceptional stakeholder engagement, communication and facilitation skills, with the confidence to work with diverse teams and senior stakeholders, navigate challenging conversations and build alignment.
- A collaborative, curious and improvement-focused mindset, with a solid focus on creating psychologically safe and high-performing project environments.
