You'll work across multiple business and technology teams, bringing structure, coordination and delivery discipline to a complex project with competing priorities and dependencies. While the initial focus will be on this initiative, there is potential to take ownership of additional projects during 2027.

You’ll be responsible for leading end-to-end project delivery, coordinating technical and business workstreams, and ensuring successful implementation and business adoption.

Key responsibilities include:

• Lead projects from initiation and planning through to implementation and operational transition.
• Coordinate delivery across SAP, digital platforms, reporting and customer-facing systems.
• Establish and maintain project plans, schedules, budgets, RAID registers and governance artefacts.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for an experienced Project Manager who can confidently operate across complex enterprise environments and bring together diverse stakeholders to deliver outcomes.

Ideally, you'll bring:

• 8+ years' Project Management experience, delivering medium to large-scale initiatives.
• Strong experience managing projects spanning business and technology workstreams.
• Proven ability to coordinate cross-functional teams, vendors and external delivery partners.
• Excellent stakeholder engagement and relationship-building skills.
• Strong project planning, budgeting, forecasting, risk and governance capability.
• Experience working across Waterfall and Agile delivery methodologies, with strong structured delivery discipline.

Formal Project Management certifications such as PMP or PRINCE2 would be beneficial.

What Will Set You Apart

We're particularly interested in Project Managers who combine strong delivery discipline with excellent people skills. You'll be someone who can quickly understand a new business environment, build trusted relationships, bring different teams together and keep delivery moving towards agreed milestones. You don't need to be a deep technical specialist. What matters is your ability to understand how business processes, technology and people connect, and confidently lead delivery across all three.

What's on Offer

• High-Impact Delivery: Lead a significant enterprise business and technology initiative.
• Melbourne Hybrid: Initially remote, transitioning to flexible hybrid working arrangements.
• Broad Project Scope: Exposure across SAP, digital platforms, customer systems and business change.

If you're an experienced Project Manager who enjoys navigating complexity, bringing people together and driving meaningful business outcomes, we'd love to hear from you.
