MR DIY International; Seri Kembangan; Presencial; MYR 120.000 - 180.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

MR DIY International is seeking a Digital Transformation Project Manager to lead end-to-end delivery of digital and software initiatives, spanning mobile apps, e-commerce, websites, middleware, and enterprise systems across multiple markets.

You will translate business and technical requirements into structured delivery plans, manage dependencies and risks, and provide clear progress visibility to leadership while coordinating with product owners, engineering teams, vendors, and stakeholders.

Formación

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, Business, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• 5to 8 years of experience managing software or enterprise-wide digital/IT implementation projects (exact minimum to be confirmed by hiring manager).
• Demonstrated track record delivering software projects end-to-end — from initiative through go-live — on schedule and within budget.
• Hands‑on experience maintaining project risk registers and issue logs, with a track record of catching and mitigating risk before it hits delivery.
• Working knowledge of software testing phases (unit, integration, system, regression, UAT) and how each fits into an implementation timeline.
• Working knowledge of both Agile/Scrum and Waterfall delivery approaches, and judgment on when to apply each.
• Experience managing vendors or external delivery partners, including coordinating vendor and QA teams on test coverage.
• Experience running change management activities for software rollouts — training coordination, SOP updates, and readiness sign‑off
• Project management certification preferred
• Proficient in English and Bahasa Malaysia. Mandarin proficiency is an added advantage

Responsabilidades

• Develop and review business cases – lead the formulation and evaluation of comprehensive project business cases including ROI calculations and detailed costing to ensure financial alignment with strategic goals
• Plan and drive delivery — build project plans, work breakdown structures, and schedules for digital/software implementation projects, from initiation through go-live and hypercare.
• Manage scope, schedule, and budget — track progress against baseline, manage the change-control process for scope changes, and report cost and schedule variances.
• Coordinate cross-functional delivery — align business analysts, developers, QA, vendors, and operations teams around a shared plan and shared milestones.
• Apply testing-phase knowledge — understand unit, integration, system, regression, and UAT testing phases well enough to plan realistic test cycles and set clear exit criteria for each stage.
• Partner with vendor and QA teams — work closely with vendor delivery teams and internal QA to make sure test coverage spans all angles — functional, integration, performance, security, and regression — not just the happy path.
• Validate go-live readiness — review test results and defect burn-down against agreed exit criteria, and confirm sign-offs are in place before approving deployment.
• Identify risks early — proactively surface technical, resourcing, vendor, and dependency risks during planning and throughout delivery, not just when they materialize.
• Maintain a live risk register — log each risk with owner, likelihood, impact, and mitigation/contingency plan; review and update it on a regular cadence.
• Track benefits realization – Establish post-go-live monitoring to track benefits and KPIs, ensuring the solution achieves the outcomes defined in the original business case
• Manage stakeholders — run steering committee updates, status reporting, and decision forums; keep sponsors informed with clear, honest status (green/amber/red) rather than optimistic reporting.
• Manage vendors — oversee external delivery partners against contracted scope, quality, and timelines; manage vendor-side risk and escalations.
• Coordinates change management — work with business owners, change management lead, and operations to build a change management plan covering communication, training, and support ahead of go‑live.
• Ensure training and SOP readiness — partner with relevant parties to confirm user training is delivered and SOPs are updated and in place so the organization is genuinely ready to adopt the new system, not just technically live.
• Track benefits realization – Establish post-go-live monitoring to track benefits and KPIs, ensuring the solution achieves the outcomes defined in the original business case
• Essential requirements: PMO standards, stage-gate approvals, and compliance
