The opportunity

Do you get joy out of delivering systems and processes that people genuinely use?

We're seeking an experienced Project Manager who pairs strong project delivery with practical change management. You'll lead system implementation and business process improvement projects all the way from concept through to adoption as business as usual (BAU).

The Enterprise Transformation team works with teams across Council to lift efficiency, effectiveness and customer satisfaction through fresh strategies, simpler processes, innovation and collaboration. In this role, you'll ensure new systems and processes meet business needs, and that people are engaged throughout the project, understand the changes, and use them confidently.

What You’ll Do

- Plan and manage system implementation and process improvement projects within approved scope, schedule, budget and governance
- Coordinate project teams, business representatives and technology vendors to define requirements and deliver solutions that are fit for purpose
- Map current and future-state processes and assess how changes affect roles and ways of working
- Develop and deliver change, engagement and communication plans, and assess stakeholder readiness
- Coordinate user acceptance testing, role-based training, user guidance and knowledge transfer
- Agree adoption and BAU acceptance measures early, then secure documented handover to the accountable owners
- Capture expected project benefits and work with accountable owners to realise them, evaluate outcomes,



capture lessons learned and help improve our project and change practices

- You genuinely enjoy project and change management, and you get a kick out of helping people embrace better ways of working
- You've led systems and process projects from the first plan to a smooth handover, and made sure the change actually stuck
- You know change is about people, not just plans. You've done the impact assessments, readiness checks, training and adoption support to prove it
- You can explain technical change in plain English and bring the people affected along with you
- You keep things moving when challenges come up, stay on top of risks, budgets and dependencies, and know when to raise an issue when they arise
- You deliver on your promises and enjoy yourself along the way
- You have a relevant degree or diploma and demonstrated experience, or an equivalent mix of qualifications and experience

To be considered for this role applications should include A maximum 2 page cover letter which should include; Two examples of people, systems or process projects where you were both the project manager and the change manager.

For Each Example, Describe

- Your approach: how you planned and managed delivery and change, including the methods and tools you used and how you engaged stakeholders
- Your thinking: the key decisions you made, the challenges or risks you faced, and why you chose the approach you did
- The outcome: what was delivered, how adoption and handover to BAU went, the results or benefits achieved, and how you evaluated success
