About the Role

Randstad is partnering with a leading business services provider to find a highly capable and focused Project Manager to join their dynamic team in Melbourne.

You will be the driving force behind the planning, execution, and delivery of mid-size projects, ensuring they are completed on time, within budget, and to scope. If you thrive on navigating complex stakeholder landscapes, ambiguous requirements and tackling high-priority risks, this is your next career move.

You will report to the Business Delivery Director and manage project teams to mitigate issues and risks throughout the project lifecycle.

Your Core Responsibilities

As the Project Manager, you will be responsible for the end-to-end management and successful delivery of projects, including:

• Strategic Planning: Develop and manage all critical project artifacts, including the project charter, integrated project plan, resource plan, and contingency plan.
• Financial & Risk Management: Validate financial forecasts, reconcile expenditures, and proactively assess and resolve all high-priority project risks.
• Governance & Compliance: Represent the project in various governance forums and ensure all projects adhere to company methodology compliance standards.
• Stakeholder Communication: Continually update business stakeholders on project status, publish regular reports, and manage key relationships effectively.
• Delivery Tracking: Develop, maintain, and report on the overall integrated delivery plan, tracking all project milestones to ensure success parameters are met.

What You Bring

We are looking for a highly versatile and focused individual with a blend of strong technical and interpersonal capabilities:

• Leadership & Execution: Strong planning, organisational, and leadership skills, including the ability to mobilise and motivate teams, set direction, resolve conflict, and execute with limited information and ambiguity.
• Communication & Influence: Excellent verbal and written communication skills to articulate with clarity and precision at all levels, paired with strong influencing and negotiation skills for navigating a complex organisation.
• Problem-Solving: Exceptional problem-solving and critical-thinking ability to remove barriers and enable teams to achieve their objectives.
• Resilience: Comfortable operating under pressure, ambiguity, frequent change, or unpredictability, with a high degree of flexibility and responsiveness to input.

Experience & Education

• Experience: 5 to 10 years of proven experience in a similar Project Management role, with demonstrated success in delivering mid-size projects and partnering with senior stakeholders.
• Certifications: PMP/PMI certification or equivalent.
• Bonus Experience: Experience managing projects in the Transport, logistics or Infrastrucutre is a desirable advantage.
