Principal Project Officer

The Principal Project Officer will lead the implementation of critical software solutions for the management of registered brands under the Brands Act, with workplace health and safety implications. The projects have progressed to the development and implementation phase of the preferred solution. This role will be responsible for completing the implementation and delivery of the system solutions, including engaging with external vendors and internal stakeholders such as IT and relevant business areas.

• Undertake project activities and ensure successful outcomes by developing and managing elements such as project plans, budgets, consultations, records, and registers in line with approved project management methodologies.
• Prepare progress reports, correspondence, briefings, and submissions related to project development, progress, and key issues.
• Review, negotiate, and manage project deliverables, ensuring alignment with stakeholder expectations and approved project plans.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with key internal and external stakeholders.
• Demonstrate strong skills and knowledge in implementing software solutions related to customer management systems.
• Support the preparation and distribution of high-quality project documents and reports under the direction of the project manager and/or sponsor.
• Utilise recognised project management techniques, methodologies, and relevant software as required.
• Identify, assess, and mitigate risks and issues, ensuring proper documentation, review, and escalation with recommendations where necessary.
