About Afterrealism

Afterrealism is a small geospatial software consultancy in Canberra. We build maps, data platforms, and cloud systems for organisations across Australia to a standard set inside Geoscience Australia and CSIRO.

Small is the point: you work directly with the founder, your decisions ship, and you can see exactly where your work lands.

About the role

You'll run the delivery side of our client engagements: plans, timelines, budgets, and the steady communication that keeps everyone confident.

We run lean — no process theatre. Your job is to remove friction for the people building, and make sure clients always know exactly where things stand.

What you'll do

• Plan and track client projects from kickoff to handover
• Own client communication: status updates, meetings, expectations
• Manage scope, timelines, and budgets — and raise risks early, not after
• Coordinate the specialist team across concurrent projects
• Keep improving how we deliver

What we're looking for

• Experience managing software or technical delivery projects
• Strong written and verbal communication
• Comfortable with lightweight agile delivery — without cargo-culting ceremony
• Calm and decisive when priorities shift

Nice to have

• Experience with government clients or procurement
• A GIS or data project background
• Formal PM certification (PMP, PRINCE2, or agile equivalents)

Pay: Rs20,000.00 - Rs80,000.00 per month

Work Location: Remote
