Senior Project Manager - Build to Run Transition

18th September, 2026

Senior Project Manager  
Contract Length: 6 month renewable 
Location: Sydney or Melbourne   

We're looking for a Senior Project Manager to lead the transition from build to run, managing the handover of technology operations from the incumbent build partner to the incoming operate partner.  
 
Key Responsibilities 

• Own and manage the transition of IT Service and IT Operations including code repository handover and process transfer 
• Design, schedule, and run structured knowledge-transfer sessions between outgoing and incoming delivery partners 
• Define and scope the transition workplan where documentation or handover artifacts are incomplete or non-existent 
• Engage with stakeholders to capture lessons learned in previous migrations 
• Build and maintain strong working relationships across onshore and offshore teams, and across incumbent/incoming vendors 
• Support the delivery team's shift toward quarterly (QTR) release cycles 
• Manage delivery using both Agile and Waterfall approaches as required by the workstream 
• Track and report on transition progress using Jira and Confluence 
• Proactively challenge existing ways of working 

• Proven Senior PM experience delivering large-scale enterprise technology transformation, ideally with exposure to system migrations, vendor transitions, or build-to-run handovers 
• Experience managing multi-vendor delivery (incumbent-to-incoming transitions) is highly desirable 
• Strong stakeholder and relationship-building skills — able to build trust quickly with onshore and offshore teams and multiple vendors 
• Proactive, solutions-oriented self-starter, comfortable operating with ambiguity and limited handover documentation 
• Confident challenging established practices and driving process improvement in a less mature delivery environment
