Project Manager

This is a high-impact coordination role at the centre of a landmark mobilisation program, responsible for bringing a brand-new greenfield site to operational readiness by 2027. Sitting across both the Customer and Operations directorates, you will own the consolidated program plan - integrating 13 project streams, mapping all cross-stream interdependencies, and maintaining the governance and reporting cadence that keeps delivery on track. You will not be responsible for delivering every stream yourself; rather, you are the connective tissue across the program - attending stream meetings, partnering with stream leads, providing timely reporting to leadership and governance forums, and ensuring nothing falls through the gaps as the program moves toward go-live.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and maintain the consolidated MS Project program plan across all 13 project streams - integrating plans from the Customer and Operations directorates, mapping dependencies, sequencing milestones, and maintaining a single source of truth for the mobilisation program.
• Lead cross-stream governance - attend stream meetings across both directorates, facilitate working sessions and decision forums, track risks, issues, and decisions, and ensure interdependencies between streams are visible and actively managed.
• Produce high-quality reporting for governance and leadership forums - translating complex, multi-stream delivery activity into clear, accurate, and timely program updates that support confident executive decision-making.
• Partner with stream leads, the overarching Program Director, and senior stakeholders to maintain delivery momentum - escalating risks, resolving cross-stream conflicts, and providing practical, balanced advice on prioritisation and sequencing.
• Coordinate mobilisation readiness activities across Customer and Operations - ensuring customer experience changes, operational processes, workforce readiness, and system requirements are aligned and sustainably implemented ahead of construction go-live.

Skills & Experience Required

• 5+ years' experience delivering large, complex programs end-to-end - with a demonstrated track record managing multi-stream or cross-functional programs in a coordination or overarching PM capacity.
• Advanced MS Project proficiency - able to build, link, and maintain integrated program plans across multiple workstreams, including dependency mapping, milestone tracking, and consolidated reporting.
• Proven mobilisation, construction go-live, or site activation experience - backgrounds in construction readiness, retail rollout, precinct activation, or facility mobilisation programs are highly regarded.
• Excellent stakeholder engagement and reporting skills - able to maintain productive relationships across stream leads, senior leaders, and delivery teams, and distil complex program status into clear, governance-ready reporting.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving capability - able to identify risks and interdependency conflicts early, support practical resolution, and keep a large, multi-directorate program on track under pressure.
