About the Opportunity
This is a Queenstown-based, hands-on delivery role where technology supports a bigger mission. You will be embedded in the business, close to operational stakeholders, and responsible for driving delivery through to adoption across a varied technology change portfolio.

Employment Type: Permanent, full-time
Location: Queenstown, Otago, New Zealand (on-site/in-office at least 3 days per week)
Hours of Work
 
  • Guaranteed minimum: 37.5 hours per week

Job Description / Duties
  • Lead end-to-end delivery of a multi-stream portfolio across ERP-style initiatives, cyber uplift, AI enablement, and technology upgrades/reviews.
  • Own project planning, delivery approach, milestones, dependencies, and governance rhythms (including status reporting and steering updates where required).
  • Manage budgets, forecasts, vendor statements of work, and delivery outcomes across internal and external delivery partners.
  • Run risk, issue, and change control processes, ensuring clear decisions, mitigations, and follow-through.
  • Partner closely with business stakeholders to translate operational needs into clear scope and practical deliverables in a non-technical environment.
  • Drive change management and adoption: stakeholder engagement, readiness planning, training coordination, and ensuring changes land successfully in the business.
  • Support implementation and continuous improvement by coordinating testing, cutover planning, communications, and post-go-live hypercare.
  • Contribute to a practical, team-first culture, keeping momentum across competing priorities and helping unblock delivery when needed.

Skills, Qualifications, and Experience
 
  • Project management experience: 7+ years of hands-on project management experience delivering technology and business change initiatives.
  • ERP / enterprise systems delivery: Demonstrated experience delivering ERP or similar enterprise systems work (implementation, upgrades, optimisation, remediation, integrations, or major enhancements).
  • Portfolio delivery: Proven ability to run multiple concurrent workstreams and maintain delivery cadence across varied priorities.
  • Delivery fundamentals: Strong capability across planning, governance, budget oversight, vendor coordination, risk and issue management, and stakeholder management.
  • Change and adoption: Strong change mindset and practical experience supporting training, readiness and adoption (not just go-live).
  • Ways of working: Comfortable applying a pragmatic mix of agile and waterfall approaches depending on the workstream and environment.
  • Communication: Clear, grounded communication style with the ability to engage both operational and technical stakeholders.
  • Nice to have: Relevant certification such as PRINCE2, PMP, Agile/Scrum certification, or equivalent practical experience.

What’s on Offer
  • NZD $150,000 base salary and a role with real breadth and impact across a balanced portfolio of ERP, cyber, AI and upgrade work.
  • A high-performing, low-ego team with supportive leadership and a practical delivery culture.
