POSITION OVERVIEW

PMY transforms how people operate and interact with public venues and places through technology.

This role delivers that mission by managing the end-to-end delivery of technology solutions across ICT, systems, digital infrastructure, and event technology—spanning both major event implementations, permanent and temporary deployments, and client-side technology projects for venues.

The Technology Project Manager is responsible for leading complex, multi-disciplinary technology projects from initiation through to operations and decommission, as applicable. The role combines structured project governance with practical delivery leadership across a wide range of technology environments.

The role blends classic project management (scope, schedule, budget, risk, governance, stakeholder management) with hands‑on site leadership during bump‑in/bump‑out and live operations. Success looks like safe, on‑time, on‑budget delivery according to quality requirements and expectations, leading to delighted clients and stakeholders.

While Melbourne is the preferred location, candidates based in Sydney will also be considered.
