Job description

At Antares, Project Managers don’t just run plans - they lead delivery.

This role sits at the centre of our client engagements. You are the person accountable for how projects are shaped, governed, delivered and closed, working across complex initiatives spanning Data & AI, Application Development and Modern Workplace.

From day one, you take ownership. You establish structure, bring clarity to ambiguity, align diverse stakeholders, and keep delivery moving when priorities shift and pressure exists. You will be trusted to make decisions, manage trade-offs, and represent Antares with confidence at the client table.

This is a role for experienced Project Managers who enjoy responsibility, value structure, and take pride in delivering outcomes that stand up to scrutiny.

As a Project Manager at Antares, you will:

• Report to the Head of PMO and work as part of the PMO, with support from delivery leadership and close collaboration across practice, account and technical teams.


• Lead projects end-to-end, from initiation through to formal closure


• Set up delivery frameworks including governance, RACI, stage gates and reporting


• Develop and maintain detailed project plans, managing dependencies, sequencing and critical path


• Actively manage scope, risk, budget and resourcing across multiple concurrent projects


• Serve as the primary escalation point for delivery issues, client concerns and delivery risk


• Facilitate clear, professional conversations with customers around scope boundaries, priorities and delivery decisions


• Coordinate delivery across technical consultants, senior consultants, practice leads and account teams


• Drive formal document reviews, customer sign‑offs and acceptance milestones


• Ensure projects close cleanly, with obligations met and outcomes clearly documented

You will be expected to apply judgement, stay in control of delivery, and communicate clearly when decisions or trade-offs are required.

This role suits Project Managers who are comfortable operating with autonomy and accountability.

You will:

• Manage multiple projects at once, often across different delivery streams


• Work closely with senior client stakeholders who expect clarity, structure and confidence


• Balance pace with governance, quality and commercial outcomes


• Operate with support around you — but with ownership firmly in your hands


• Be measured on delivery outcomes, not just activity

This is not a coordination or reporting only role. Ownership is real, and expectations are clear.

About You

You are an experienced, client facing Project Manager with a strong delivery mindset and a structured approach to work.

You bring:

• Demonstrated experience delivering projects within an IT consulting or professional services environment is essential.


• 5+ years’ experience delivering projects in a Microsoft aligned Professional Services environment.


• Proven experience managing end‑to‑end projects valued at $400k+.


• Strong planning and delivery control experience (Microsoft Project or equivalent).


• Experience in data and/or software development project management (beneficial).


• Confidence working with senior stakeholders and leading delivery conversations.


• A detail oriented, process driven approach with a clear understanding of governance.


• The ability to manage competing priorities and remain composed under pressure.


• Change management experience or certification, such as Prosci or ADKAR, would be highly regarded.


• This is a full‑time role, with a hybrid working model requiring two days per week in the office.

You take ownership seriously, communicate clearly, and care about delivering work you’re proud of.

• Attractive and competitive salary packages


• GPTW Certified


• Fantastic and hands‑on learning environment


• Hybrid Work arrangements – Work is a thing you do, not a place you go


• Amazing Company Culture - Enjoy regular social events and free lunch Thursdays


• Birthday Off - If your birthday falls on a workday, it's a free day off for you!


• Wellness Program - $600 per year to spend on your own well-being


• Home Office Program – Giving you the tools you need to WFH effectively and comfortable
