We are seeking an experienced Business Operations Project Manager to join a major transformation programme focused on implementing a new future operating model and preparing the business for significant operational change.
This is not a traditional Project Manager role focused on delivering a single project. You will sit between the wider programme and operational business, managing the Business Operations workstream and ensuring business readiness, implementation activities, governance, risks and dependencies remain aligned as the programme evolves.
This is a highly collaborative role, working across operational, programme, technical and corporate teams to turn emerging requirements and decisions into clear, actionable delivery plans.
About You:
We are looking for a senior Project Manager who brings:
- Proven experience delivering within large, complex business transformation programmes
- Strong experience with operating model implementation, business transformation and operational readiness
- Experience coordinating business change, transition and implementation activities
- Strong planning, governance, risk, issue and dependency management capability
- Ability to translate evolving requirements and decisions into practical delivery plans
- Experience working in environments where business, technology, people and processes are changing simultaneously
- Strong stakeholder management skills, including working with senior leaders and complex stakeholder groups
- Confidence working through ambiguity while maintaining a strong focus on delivery
Experience within science, laboratory, research, manufacturing, infrastructure or other complex operational environments would be highly desirable.
Key Responsibilities:
- Manage the day-to-day delivery of the Business Operations workstream
- Coordinate activities arising from future operating model and business design work
- Develop and maintain delivery plans, milestones, actions and dependencies
- Coordinate business readiness, transition and implementation activities
- Support governance forums, reporting, budgets and decision tracking
- Manage risks, issues, actions and strategic dependencies
- Connect programme workstreams with business operations to ensure activities remain aligned
- Identify and escalate delivery gaps while keeping business-facing activities progressing
You will need to be comfortable operating in a changing environment, able to work independently and confident influencing stakeholders without direct authority.
Please Note: To be considered for this role you need to be in New Zealand and have the legal right to work.
