  • Coordinate across multiple projects within large enterprises, helping stakeholders identify and eliminate roadblocks.
  • Handle change management processes, including after-hours work for project cutovers and delivery, ensuring a smooth transition without disruptions.
  • Mentor junior project managers, spending about 25% of your time guiding them through delivery processes.
  • Engage in stakeholder management at a high level, navigating tricky situations with clients, and providing pragmatic, mature advice to push back when necessary.

Requirements:
  • Minimum of 3 years of project management experience, ideally in network-related environments.
  • Proven ability to manage cross-functional teams, keeping complex projects on time and within budget.
  • Strong communication skills for stakeholder management, with the ability to navigate difficult conversations and technical challenges.
  • Experience working in large enterprise environments such as airlines, telecommunications, or transport logistics is highly desirable.
  • Familiarity with Cisco and Juniper networks is advantageous.
  • Flexibility to handle after-hours work including nights and weekends, typically for project cutovers and critical deliveries.
Desirable Skills and Experience:
  • Experience in aviation or large-scale transportation industries is highly valued, but candidates from large network environments such as telecommunications are also encouraged to apply.
  • Technical understanding of cloud and cybersecurity will be a plus as these areas may become part of future projects.
  • Strong interest in mentoring junior project managers and growing into a potential leadership role in the future.
Benefits:
  • Competitive salary: $150k + super - $170k + Super.
  • Flexible working arrangements, with some on-site work required.
  • Opportunities to grow with the company and advance into leadership roles.
  • Additional perks include novated leases, phone or internet stipends, and health care benefits.
Candidate Considerations:
  • This role is best suited for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments with demanding deadlines and complex stakeholder management. While technical expertise is important, the ability to manage stakeholders and risks effectively is crucial to success in this position.
