About the Opportunity
- This is a chance to join a well-known South Island organisation at a genuinely exciting point in their journey. They’re leaning into further technology modernisation and need a Project Manager who can help take ideas from “we should” to “it’s live, it’s working, and the business is using it.”
- You’ll be part of a small but mighty team high trust, hands-on, and close to operations. It’s a practical environment where people pitch in, decisions move quickly, and delivery matters. If you’re someone with drive who enjoys being visible in the business (rather than disappearing into project admin), you’ll feel right at home.
- The role is end-to-end delivery, but with a twist: you won’t be “just” a Project Manager. Because the team is lean, you’ll also bring a strong understanding of business analysis and scoping running workshops, mapping processes, clarifying requirements, and helping shape the solution before the build or implementation even starts. From there, you’ll keep ownership through planning, governance, risk/issues, vendor coordination, and change activities, making sure outcomes land and stick.
- The role is based in Queenstown, with an office in Wanaka and operational sites across the South Island/Great Lakes area. The expectation is a minimum of three days on-site/in-office (flexible across Queenstown/Wanaka/on-site), because being present and connected to stakeholders is a big part of how projects move forward here.
What You’ll Bring
- You’ll have proven experience delivering projects end-to-end, and you’ll be comfortable putting structure around ambiguity building plans, aligning stakeholders, managing budgets and milestones, and keeping a clear view of risks and issues. Just as importantly, you’ll be confident doing the upfront scoping work: facilitating conversations, asking the right questions, capturing requirements, mapping current and future state processes, and translating business needs into clear documentation that technology teams and vendors can act on.
- We’re looking for someone who brings energy and momentum someone who’s not afraid to roll their sleeves up, get into the detail when needed, and take real ownership. Project certifications or frameworks (PMP/PRINCE2/Agile) are helpful, as is familiarity with tools like Jira/MS Project/Trello and process mapping tools such as Visio, but your ability to lead people and deliver outcomes will matter most.
What’s on Offer
You’ll be stepping into a role with genuine variety and impact spanning system evaluation and selection through to implementation and business change. You’ll work in a culture that values initiative, collaboration, and delivery, and you’ll have the opportunity to build credibility quickly through visible, practical wins.
