Role description

We're seeking an experienced IT Project Manager to lead the end-to-end delivery of our Transport Management System (TMS) Project across Release 1 and Release 2. In this pivotal role, you'll oversee day-to-day IT delivery management across all TMS teams, managing delivery against agreed plans and milestones while implementing robust IT governance and PMO procedures. You'll coordinate critical activities including testing, deployment, and post go-live support, ensuring seamless alignment across planning, design, build, and implementation phases. This hybrid position offers flexibility with just one day per week on-site at our Bryanston location. Join our dynamic Service Delivery team where you'll collaborate on strategic projects and serve as a Delivery Lead with true accountability for outcomes. We value innovation and continuous improvement, offering you opportunities to identify follow-on work through up-selling and cross-selling while acting as a subject matter expert. You'll engage with multiple teams, contribute to key decisions, and provide solutions that impact the entire organization. Our culture emphasizes mentorship and development, giving you the platform to guide team members and build their project management capabilities. We're looking for a seasoned professional with 10 years of experience who brings a strong blend of soft skills (communication, time management, problem solving), leadership capabilities (stakeholder management, conflict management, team building), and hard skills (planning, technical literacy, project methodologies, budget management). You'll build strong stakeholder relationships, proactively mitigate risks, and drive innovation in service delivery. If you're ready to make a significant impact and lead projects that matter, we want to hear from you.
