About the Role

We are seeking a highly experienced Master Scheduler to join a complex IT transformation program. This is a hands-on scheduling role — the successful candidate will own the Integrated Master Schedule, chair schedule governance, and provide the program leadership team with clear visibility of delivery risk, progress, and forecast outcomes. This is not a Project Manager or PMO advisory role.

Key Responsibilities

- Own and maintain the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) across all delivery streams in MS Project / Project Server
- Manage and administer the Project Server / MS Project Online environment including reporting structures, security models, and data architecture
- Define and implement the critical path management approach and maintain ongoing critical path analysis
- Design and maintain the dependency management process and reporting framework, covering internal and external dependencies
- Establish and chair schedule governance sessions with stream leads and program leadership
- Develop executive-level reporting including progress trend analysis, schedule performance, and delivery risk visibility
- Maintain the consolidated deployment run-sheet for release coordination across workstreams
- Partner with PMO, project managers, and delivery teams to improve planning discipline and cross-stream visibility




- Identify schedule risks and deviations early; recommend and implement corrective actions
- Support hybrid (waterfall + agile) delivery across concurrent workstreams

Essential Experience

- 8–10+ years as a hands-on Master Scheduler on complex IT transformation or digital transformation programs
- Deep expertise in MS Project and Project Server / MS Project Online — including environment setup, reporting configuration, and ongoing administration
- Demonstrated experience establishing schedule governance frameworks, standards, and controls from the ground up
- Strong critical path methodology — defining the approach, not just applying one
- Experience designing dependency management frameworks and processes across multi-stream programs
- Ability to develop executive-level reporting that gives leadership explicit delivery visibility (Power BI or equivalent)
- Exposure to programs valued $40M+ in technology, transformation, integration, or business change environments
- Comfortable operating across Agile, Waterfall, and hybrid delivery models
- Strong stakeholder engagement — able to work across executive, PMO, vendor, and delivery teams
- Experience with Earned Value Management (EVM) and resource forecasting
- Familiarity with Primavera P6 as a secondary scheduling tool
- Sydney-based with capacity for 3 days per week onsite in Sydney CBD
