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.
  • A collaborative, practical style with the ability to influence internally — guiding cross-disciplinary teams by modelling "what good looks like" in delivery, rather than relying on hierarchy.

This is a long-term role (3–4 years) with a Defence SME — ideal for someone who thrives in software and R&D environments and wants to make a lasting impact.

Confidential enquiries welcome.
