Full description
Aurora is seeking an experienced Technology Project Manager to join our growing Internal Technology team. The role will lead end-to-end delivery of technology and SaaS projects that improve how Aurora operates and support the continued growth of our global business.
Working across business functions and multidisciplinary technology teams, you will translate business needs into clear project outcomes and coordinate delivery across areas including Enterprise Systems, Architecture, Data, Information Security and IT Operations. You will be responsible for establishing practical delivery plans and governance, managing budgets, risks and dependencies, and maintaining clarity and momentum throughout the project lifecycle.
The role is highly business-facing. You will build strong relationships with project sponsors, business stakeholders, technical specialists, vendors and implementation partners, ensuring that decisions are well informed and that technical topics are communicated clearly in business language. You will also ensure that projects deliver the required business, process and organisational change: not simply the implementation of new technology.
You will work independently while leading project teams through a matrix structure. You will take ownership of projects from initiation and solution or supplier selection through implementation, adoption and transition into sustainable operational support.
Aurora is growing quickly, and our technology landscape and ways of working continue to evolve as we scale. This is an opportunity to deliver meaningful change in a fast-moving organisation, helping to create scalable processes, systems and operating models that enable future growth and innovation.
Project delivery and governance
- Lead the end-to-end delivery of technology, enterprise systems and SaaS projects, from initiation and planning through to implementation, adoption and closure.
- Define and maintain clear project scope, outcomes, delivery plans, budgets, milestones, dependencies and success measures.
- Establish proportionate project governance, including effective management of risks, assumptions, issues, dependencies and decisions.
- Provide clear, concise and decision-focused reporting to project sponsors, governance forums and senior stakeholders.
- Manage changes to project scope, timelines and cost, ensuring that impacts and trade-offs are understood and agreed.
Business engagement and change
- Build strong relationships with business stakeholders to understand their objectives, processes, requirements and constraints.
- Translate between business requirements and technology delivery, helping stakeholders and technical teams develop a shared understanding of the required outcomes.
- Facilitate workshops, planning sessions and project meetings that create clarity, ownership and timely decision-making.
