Are you a strategic thinker and experienced project leader who thrives on bringing people together, navigating complex challenges and turning ideas into action? This is your opportunity to lead significant projects across a dynamic healthcare environment, influence organisational priorities and contribute to the future of healthcare across southern Adelaide.

About the role:

Reporting to the Manager, Strategy & Performance, you will lead the delivery of high-impact projects and programs that support SALHN's strategic objectives in an environment of significant reform, innovation and continuous change.

Working in partnership with clinical divisions, executive leaders and stakeholders across the organisation, you will bring people together to navigate complex challenges, drive innovation and deliver practical, sustainable improvements to healthcare services.

A key part of the role is growing project management capability across SALHN. Through coaching, mentoring, leadership and the Project Management Community of Practice, you will support project professionals and teams to build their skills, share knowledge and strengthen the organisation's ability to deliver successful change.

About you:

You are an experienced project leader who can see the bigger picture, bring people together and translate strategic priorities into action. You are comfortable navigating complexity, building relationships across professional and organisational boundaries, and balancing strategic thinking with a strong focus on delivery.

You are also passionate about developing others. You understand that successful project delivery is not just about plans and processes; it is about building capability, creating shared ownership and helping people lead change with confidence.

- Demonstrated experience leading complex projects or programs, including the implementation of transformational digital solutions, service redesign, operating model changes or improvements to models of care, translating strategic priorities into practical and sustainable outcomes.
- Strong leadership and interpersonal skills, including the ability to coach, mentor and support others to build their project management skills and confidence.

improving delivery practices and fostering a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement.
- Highly developed communication and stakeholder engagement skills, including the ability to influence, negotiate and navigate complex or sensitive issues with professionalism.
