Senior Project Manager

• Part-time contract | 3 days per week
• Hybrid working
• 6-month contract

About the Company

Our client is an Australian technology and systems integration organisation delivering complex solutions across critical, highly operational environments.

With a focus on secure ICT, integrated systems and mission-critical technology, they partner with government, infrastructure and enterprise clients where reliability, integration and operational performance are essential.

The business is currently supporting a major technology implementation and is seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager to strengthen delivery leadership across the programme.

About the Role

This is a hands-on Senior Project Manager role supporting a complex technology implementation already underway.

Working closely with senior project leadership, client stakeholders, technology partners and delivery teams, you will drive day-to-day delivery, strengthen project governance and maintain momentum through key implementation and go-live milestones.

This role would suit a senior PM who can step into an established delivery environment, quickly understand the landscape, and bring structure, accountability and visibility across a broad stakeholder group.

This is not a purely administrative PMO position. You will actively lead delivery, manage stakeholders, identify issues early and drive them through to resolution.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead day to day project delivery across multiple teams, stakeholders and delivery partners
• Coordinate internal teams, client stakeholders and external technology vendors
• Maintain alignment across scope, schedule, deliverables, milestones and dependencies
• Drive accountability for actions, commitments and key delivery outcomes
• Identify, manage and escalate project risks, issues and potential delivery impacts
• Lead project meetings and establish an effective delivery cadence
• Prepare clear project updates, status reports and executive-level reporting
• Support governance forums and senior stakeholder meetings
• Maintain RAID, action, decision, dependency and deliverables registers
• Track critical-path activities and ensure delivery milestones remain on track
• Facilitate stakeholder engagement, decision-making and issue resolution
• Support planning and coordination for testing, UAT, operational readiness and go-live
• Work closely with senior project leadership to maintain delivery confidence and programme momentum

Skills & Experience

To be successful in this role, you will bring:

• 10+ years' project management experience, ideally within complex technology, ICT or systems integration environments
• Demonstrated experience delivering large-scale technology implementations from planning through to go-live
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to work across senior executives, client teams, technical specialists and delivery partners
• Experience managing multiple vendors, external partners and internal delivery teams
• A practical understanding of project governance, delivery controls, schedules, dependencies and reporting
• Proven experience managing RAID registers, actions, decisions and delivery risks
• Strong written communication skills and the ability to produce clear, concise executive reporting
• The ability to bring structure to an active delivery environment, identify issues early and keep momentum moving
• A proactive, commercially minded approach, with the confidence to influence outcomes without direct authority
