About the role

As the Senior Project Manager, you will lead a major HRIS transformation program that will modernise TAC’s core people, payroll and workforce processes. This is a high-impact role delivering a foundational enterprise platform uplift that directly supports TAC’s strategic priorities and future workforce capability.

You will be accountable for end-to-end delivery of a complex, multi-stream program, ensuring outcomes are achieved within agreed time, cost and quality parameters while navigating public sector governance, legislative obligations and cross-organisational dependencies. Working closely with People, Culture & Engagement, digital and technical specialists, senior executives and external vendors, you will manage the procurement process, translate business needs into robust delivery plans, manage integrated schedules and risks, and ensure strong governance and reporting.

This role operates within the broader TAC transformation landscape.

The culture values trust, accountability, curiosity and continuous improvement, with leaders empowered to own their delivery while partnering closely across the organisation.
