The PM role that builds your career
Our client is a high-profile NZ organisation that runs critical national infrastructure and a precinct that works like a small city. Their Digital PMO is busy, with a strong pipeline of enterprise projects to deliver by mid-2027.
They’re after a driven, intermediate Project Manager who wants to grow. You’ll be coached by a Delivery Lead who started in this exact role and was promoted from it, and supported by senior PMs in the team.
What you’ll do
To be considered, you must hold NZ Citizenship or Residency, or have long-term NZ work rights. The successful candidate will need to pass a Ministry of Justice check and a security clearance.

What you’ll do
- Run up to 5–6 concurrent projects across corporate and business functions, such as payroll and rostering, parking systems and website compliance

- Represent the PMO at steering committees and engage directly with C-suite stakeholders
- Bring structure and discipline: clear plans, proper reporting and no managing by email

- Experience with waterfall or hybrid delivery, and a practical, adaptable approach rather than a dogmatic one
- Confidence managing vendors and budgets
- Excellent communication skills, comfortable with senior stakeholders
- A can-do, self-starting attitude, calm under pressure and genuinely keen to be coached
