💼 Work Arrangement: Hybrid (2 days in office per week)
📅 Contract: 2-Year Fixed-Term | Full-Time

Are you a strategic and delivery-focused Senior Project Manager looking for a diverse portfolio that spans business and non-IT projects? Join a government sector organisation undergoing enterprise-wide transformation and play a key role in shaping major initiatives across systems, people, and process improvement.

About the Role

This role sits within the Enterprise Project Management Office (EPMO) and reports to the Head of EPMO. As a Senior Project Manager, you will lead the end-to-end delivery of multiple concurrent projects, collaborating with stakeholders across the organisation.

You'll act as a trusted advisor and delivery expert, supporting cross-functional teams, contributing to strategic change, and ensuring that project outcomes are aligned to time, cost, and quality expectations. Importantly, we're looking for candidates with broad delivery experience in business projects-not just a pure IT background.

* Develop and manage project plans, schedules, budgets, and communication plans
* Partner with business sponsors and stakeholders to translate needs into clear project objectives
* Engage and influence senior stakeholders, including C-level, across business functions
* Report on project performance, risks, issues, and decisions to sponsors and steering committees
* Manage cross-functional teams with blended resources
* Navigate both Agile and Waterfall delivery environments effectively
* Manage third-party vendors and external project partners as required
* Contribute to strategic change management and promote positive project adoption

What You'll Bring

* Proven experience delivering multiple projects concurrently in complex environments
* Strong experience across both business and technology-driven projects
* Excellent stakeholder engagement and negotiation skills, with the ability to influence without formal authority
* Ability to confidently brief executives and senior leaders across varied project contexts
* Experience managing resources in a matrixed environment
* High-level analytical and communication skills, able to convey complex information clearly
* Familiarity with both Agile and Waterfall delivery models; project certifications such as Prince2 or Agile are desirable
* Comfortable working in a public sector or regulated environment is a plus
