What’s the role on offer? 

We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to play a critical role in the successful delivery of projects, products and services across the organisation. Acting as the bridge between technical teams, business stakeholders and vendors, you will oversee end-to-end delivery from initiation through to completion — applying lean thinking and right-sized governance to get outcomes across the line efficiently. 

We are building a lean, delivery-first culture within the PDO. This role suits a PM who knows when to use the framework and when to get out of its way. 

Based in Brisbane, this is a full-time opportunity to make a tangible impact in a fast-paced, regulated aviation environment. 

Who are we looking for? 

We are looking for a proactive and delivery focused Project Manager who thrives in complex environments and enjoys working with diverse stakeholders. You will bring: 

• Proven experience leading end-to-end project delivery across multiple initiatives 

• Strong capability in defining project scope, developing detailed project plans and managing resources 

• The ability to identify, mitigate and manage risks, issues and delivery dependencies and escalate with clarity when needed 

• Experience guiding and motivating cross functional teams to achieve shared outcomes 

• Strong stakeholder engagement and vendor management skills, including managing expectations, coordinating third-party delivery milestones and resolving conflicts 

• Experience developing and implementing change management strategies 

• The ability to coordinate or deliver training and targeted communications to support adoption 

• Practical experience applying lean and agile delivery principles, right-sizing governance, reducing waste and accelerating time-to-value without unnecessary process overhead 

• A strong focus on value delivery, customer outcomes and business alignment, not methodology for its own sake 

What will you need to succeed? 

• Demonstrated experience in project or delivery management, ideally across technology and business change

• Experience using tools such as MS Project, MS Planner or similar

• Strong problem-solving, analytical, communication and interpersonal skills 

• Relevant certifications (e.g. PMP, PRINCE2, SAFe, Lean, Agile) — we value these as evidence of learning, not as a substitute for delivery capability

• Experience and understanding of aviation and airline regulatory, safety and operational environments (desirable)

• A bachelor’s degree in business, technology or a related field, or equivalent experience (desirable)
