You make things happen.</strong></em></p> <p>Projects at SimplifyNext move fast and span complex stakeholder landscapes - clients, vendors, internal delivery teams, and leadership. As Project Manager, you're the person who holds it all together. You set the pace, manage the ambiguity, and make sure every moving part lands on time and on target.</p> <p>This isn't a coordination-only role. You'll be expected to challenge timelines, flag risks early, and have direct conversations with client stakeholders when things need to shift. You bring structure without bureaucracy, and you know when to escalate and when to just fix it.</p> <h3><strong>What You'll Do</strong></h3> <p><strong> Own end-to-end delivery</strong></p> <ul> <li>Lead full project lifecycle from kick-off through go-live and handover</li> <li>Define and manage scope, timelines, budgets, and resource plans</li> <li>Ensure deliverables are met on time, within scope, and to quality</li> </ul> <p><strong>&nbsp;Drive Agile ways of working</strong></p> <ul> <li>Facilitate sprint planning, stand-ups, retrospectives, and demos</li> <li>Work with BAs and Solution Architects to prioritise backlogs and manage iteration cycles</li> <li>Adapt planning approaches to suit client maturity — from full Scrum to hybrid delivery models</li> </ul> <p><strong>&nbsp;Manage risks and dependencies</strong></p> <ul> <li>Proactively identify, track, and mitigate project risks and blockers</li> <li>Manage cross-team and cross-vendor dependencies</li> <li>Escalate effectively — to the right person, at the right time, with context</li> </ul> <p><strong>&nbsp;Engage and align stakeholders</strong></p> <ul> <li>Serve as the primary point of contact for client project leads and sponsors</li> <li>Communicate project status, decisions, and risks clearly across technical and non-technical audiences</li> <li>Facilitate governance meetings, steering committees, and project reviews</li> </ul> <p><strong>Govern and report</strong></p> <ul> <li>Maintain project documentation: plans, RAID logs, status reports, and change requests</li> <li>Ensure compliance with IT governance frameworks, security standards, and QA processes</li> <li>Support post-implementation reviews and lessons learned</li> </ul> <p></p> <h3><strong>What You'll Bring</strong></h3> <p><strong>Must-Have</strong></p> <ul> <li>5–8 years of project management experience, ideally in a consulting or technology services environment</li> <li>Hands-on experience running Agile projects (Scrum, Kanban, or hybrid delivery)</li> <li>Strong stakeholder management — comfortable dealing with client project leads, sponsors, and technical teams</li> <li>Proven ability to manage project financials, scope changes, and resource allocation</li> <li>Experience delivering software or digital transformation projects end-to-end</li> <li>Project management certification (PMP, CITPM, COMIT, or equivalent)</li> </ul> <p><strong>Good to Have</strong></p> <ul> <li>Exposure to automation, AI, or low code platform projects (UiPath, ServiceNow, OutSystems, etc.)</li> <li>Experience working in ASEAN public sector or enterprise environments</li> <li>Background in quality management, audit, or portfolio management</li> <li>Familiarity with tools like Jira, Confluence, MS Project, or equivalent</li> <li>Experience managing multi-vendor delivery teams</li> <li>Degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field</li> </ul> <p><strong>This role is probably not for you if…</strong></p> <ul> <li>You're more comfortable updating status trackers than having difficult conversations with clients</li> <li>You need a fully defined brief before you can get started</li> <li>You treat Agile as a process to follow, not a mindset to apply</li> <li>You've only worked in waterfall environments and aren't willing to adapt</li> <li>You prefer working behind the scenes and want to avoid stakeholder-facing responsibilities</li> </ul> <h2>Why SimplifyNext</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <table style="width: 973px;" width="672"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width: 200.278px;" width="187"> <p><strong>Varied, meaningful work</strong></p> </td> <td style="width: 743.819px;" width="485"> <p>You'll manage projects across industries - from government to financial services - on platforms that actually change how organisations operate.</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 200.278px;" width="187"> <p><strong>A team that knows delivery</strong></p> </td> <td style="width: 743.819px;" width="485"> <p>You'll work alongside experienced BAs, Solution Architects, and technical leads who hold themselves to high standards.
