My client is looking for a Senior Project Manager to join a dynamic digital team of professionals.
Using project management methodologies, you will work closely with the team and various branches within the customer's organization, as well as their international and domestic partners.
You will be an important driving force within hybrid (Waterfall X Agile) environments, ensuring projects are well planned and executed successfully.
Located in the Wellington office or onsite with our customer in Upper Hutt, you will be responsible for running the day-to-day business, together with a strong service team, and assist the Programme Manager and Business Development Manager in expanding all capabilities.
In other words, you will ensure that all capabilities through solutions and services are well integrated, configured, implemented, and deployed in the customer environment.
Your key tasks include: Manage hybrid (waterfall/agile) projects under the guidance of the Programme Manager.
Coordinate activities between the service delivery team, the customer, and our headquarters.
Manage projects through KPIs, management briefings, business committee meetings, etc.
Combine your customer and business understanding with your technical insights.
Collaborate with the Business Development Manager in sales activities, such as sales meetings, proposal writing, and ensuring technical support and materials for workshops.
You will be responsible for overseeing the setup and running of the sustainment contract and managing a small delivery team.
This means you must be ITIL accredited, ensuring a structured and efficient approach to service delivery and support.
This accreditation will be instrumental in maintaining high-quality standards as we navigate and fulfill the demands of sustainment contracts within our environment.
Expect both domestic and international travel to customer sites, including regular visits to our headquarters overseas.
In addition, you stand out because you: Can manage highly complex and agile projects together with the customer, sub-contractor, and your team in a busy environment.
Are skilled in combining business insights with IT knowledge to create value for the customer.
Are outgoing, trustworthy, and able to inspire the customer, the end-user, senior management, and your team.
Are proactive and eager to make a difference.
Can achieve results with service delivery and software development.
Have the ability to deliver on cost, on schedule, and quality.
Set the bar high and are able to constantly improve and develop yourself, your team, and your surroundings.
Have a high degree of flexibility in connection with your tasks.
It will be an advantage if you have military or defense knowledge and experience, but it is not a requirement.
Certification and practical experience within Project Management and SCRUM are a must, ideally with 2-3 years of proven experience.
To work within our Defence Business Unit, you will need a New Zealand security clearance.
This means that: You must have a clean criminal record.
You must be a New Zealand citizen or hold a Resident class visa.
Your citizenship is an indicator of your loyalty to New Zealand.
Your background history must be verifiable and able to be assessed as appropriate by the NZSIS.
If this sounds like your next opportunity as a Senior Project Manager and you meet the majority of the above requirements (pay attention to the NZ Security Clearance as that's important), reach out today.
