Job description

Senior project manager - regulatory, cloud & telco transformation

We're partnering with a major enterprise undergoing a large-scale transformation of their data, cloud and regulatory frameworks. They're looking for a Senior Project Manager who thrives in complex environments and can deliver detailed, auditable outcomes that meet strict compliance requirements.

If you like turning ambiguous, multi-stream technology work into structured, risk-reduced, well-governed delivery programs, you'll fit right in.

This is a 12-month contract based in Macquarie Park (3 days a week in the office).

What you'll be doing

• Leading cloud and data migration projects across a large enterprise technology environment
• Building solution-based, regulatory-aligned outcomes for internal and external customers
• Creating detailed project artefacts - plans, risk logs, compliance checklists, dashboards and reporting that stand up to full audit scrutiny
• Ensuring all project activity meets strict regulatory, compliance and risk-management standards
• Working closely with engineering, architecture and operations teams to deliver safe, stable, customer-focused solutions
• Driving risk reduction across systems, processes and customer-impact areas
• Managing complex delivery across multiple business units in a fast-moving telco environment
• Overseeing vendor teams and ensuring solution integrity, traceability and strong governance
• Translating technical concepts into clear actions, decisions and approvals for senior stakeholders

What makes you a great fit

• Solid background as a Senior Project Manager delivering complex IT, cloud or data initiatives
• Telecommunications experience - ideally with an understanding of how devices, networks and provisioning systems work
• Detail-driven and disciplined - your documentation, reporting and controls are tidy, traceable and always audit-ready
• Proven ability to reduce risk and deliver compliant outcomes
• Experience with cloud migration, SaaS transitions or large-scale modernisation programs
• Ability to interpret and navigate regulatory requirements and build compliant solutions
• Skilled communicator who can work confidently with technical teams and senior leaders
• Strong governance mindset - you focus on doing things properly, not just quickly
• Comfortable working in environments with ambiguity, shifting priorities and multiple stakeholders
• Qualifications like PMP, PRINCE2, SAFe or Agile certification are highly regarded

Why this role?

You’ll join a major organisation reshaping its technology and compliance foundations at pace and scale. Your work will directly influence customer experience, regulatory integrity and core technology direction.

If you’re driven to deliver clean, compliant, auditable and customer-safe outcomes - and you understand how modern telco systems and cloud platforms behave - you’ll be an excellent match.
