This is a hands-on role where systems, project delivery, and financial control come together in a meaningful way.

We are looking for someone who naturally looks for ways to improve how things work. You will enjoy making systems more effective, more intuitive, and more useful for the people relying on them, and comfortable working across both technical systems and project environments, and you’re just as confident speaking with project managers as you are working through data or reporting. You understand the importance of accurate information in delivering successful projects, and you take pride in making sure that information is reliable and easy to use.
This is a great opportunity to take real ownership of a key business system and shape how it supports project delivery across the organisation. You’ll have space to improve processes, influence how information is used, and make a visible impact on both project performance and financial clarity.
