The Opportunity
About the Opportunity Due to a significant project spike, we are seeking a seasoned Senior IT Project Manager for an initial 6-month contract based in Wellington. This is a delivery-focused, strategic role where your exceptional stakeholder management and communication skills will take center stage. You will not be required to be hands-on with the technical details; instead, you will leverage a highly capable team of technical experts to navigate complexity and drive successful outcomes.

The Projects You will be joining a robust PMO of 26 team members, driving a broad range of large-scale initiatives currently at the Initiation, Seed, and Business Casing stages. Key projects include:
  • Client and vendor portal implementations.
  • Financial system upgrades and deployments.
  • Complex digital, product, and data platform initiatives.
About You We are looking for a vibrant, highly engaging professional with a proven track record of navigating complex environments and managing multiple business stakeholders. To be successful in this role, you must have:
  • Strictly 10+ years of experience as an IT Project Manager delivering digital and platform projects.
  • Exceptional, concise communication skills with the absolute confidence to present effectively to executives, senior leaders, and Steering Committees.
  • A vibrant personality with top-tier relationship-building capabilities.
  • The ability to seamlessly lead a room and leverage technical resources to deliver project milestones.
  • Note: Salesforce/CRM experience is welcomed but not critical for this specific portfolio.

How to Apply If you have the extensive experience required, the ability to communicate concisely, and the drive to deliver in a high-performing environment, please submit your CV today to be considered for this immediate need.
