We're seeking a hands-on
Senior Project Manager
to deliver Defence programs in software, DevSecOps, cyber security, electronic warfare, and spectrum management.

The ideal candidate has:

  • 10 years' project management experience, including 3+ years in Defence software or systems.


  • Strong understanding of ASDEFCON / CASG environments and stakeholder engagement with Defence customers and primes.
