We're hiring a Project Manager to plan, run, and control IT software-development projects across both traditional waterfall and Agile (Scrum) delivery models. The role drives work with multi-disciplinary teams across IT departments-owning scope, schedule, budget, resources, risk, and stakeholder communication from initiation through delivery, change control, and post-project review.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan, run, monitor, and control projects in both waterfall and Agile (Scrum) methodologies-owning scope, timeline, budget, resources, milestones, and deliverables.
• Develop detailed project plans for both in-house and vendor product-implementation projects, and establish project-specific governance and cadence with the right stakeholders.
• Align, engage, and drive multi-disciplinary teams across IT departments, ensuring effective utilisation of resources toward project success.
• Lead the Request for Proposal (RFP) process end-to-end: requirements documentation, vendor identification, evaluation, selection, and contracting.
• Manage tasks and dependencies; track progress and ensure adherence to timelines and milestones.
• Identify risks and define mitigation strategies; proactively manage and resolve issues to minimise project impact.
• Monitor and control cost to deliver within the approved budget, applying formal change control (Project Change Request) to any change in scope, timeline, or cost.
• Manage stakeholder expectations through regular status reviews and reporting; implement quality controls and run project reviews to capture lessons learned.

Required Skills & Certifications

• PMP certification (mandatory); Agile / Scrum certification highly desirable.
• 8+ years of project management experience, including running projects the Agile way, with a substantiated and verifiable delivery track record.
• Minimum 5 years project-managing IT (software development) projects.
• Strong command of the full project lifecycle: planning, governance, risk and issue management, cost control, and formal change control.
• Bachelor's in Engineering (or similar) highly desirable; initial hands-on software-engineering experience an advantage.
