Digital Project Manager | Enterprise Systems

Salary: $135,000 - $145,000

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

• Run up to 5–6 concurrent projects across corporate and business functions, such as payroll and rostering, parking systems and website compliance
• Manage vendors and track budgets. Delivery here is vendor-led, so commercial sense matters.
• Deliver within a hybrid PMO, mostly waterfall, with agile where it fits
• 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

What you’ll bring

• Solid intermediate project management experience in any industry. Exposure to finance, procurement, telco or infrastructure is a bonus.
• 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

What’s on offer

• $135k–$145k base, 4% matched KiwiSaver, life and income protection insurance and free on-site parking
• Hybrid working with at least 3 days on site
• Broad enterprise exposure across commercial, operations, digital infrastructure, cyber and corporate teams
• A clear growth path in a team that promotes from within
