  • Support testing, business readiness, deployment and transition into operational support.
  • Drive stakeholder engagement and alignment across multiple workstreams and business functions.
  • Ensure project outcomes are delivered on time, within scope and within budget.

About You

  • Proven experience as a Project Manager delivering complex technology programs within large enterprise environments.
  • Demonstrated experience managing end-to-end technology implementations, transformation initiatives or business-critical projects.
  • Strong understanding of enterprise applications, system integrations, data flows, APIs, cloud platforms and technology delivery practices.
  • Experience managing multiple project streams, competing priorities and complex stakeholder groups.
  • Strong stakeholder engagement skills with the ability to communicate effectively with both business and technical audiences.
  • Experience working with external vendors, implementation partners and system integrators.
  • Sound knowledge of project governance, budgeting, risk management and delivery methodologies.
  • Ability to identify and manage technical dependencies, project risks and implementation challenges.
  • Excellent leadership, communication and relationship management skills.
  • Experience working within Agile, Waterfall or hybrid delivery environments.

Highly Regarded

  • Experience delivering projects across retail, supply chain, logistics, inventory management or customer-facing platforms.
  • Exposure to enterprise applications, ERP, POS, inventory, planning or replenishment systems.
