Project Manager - Fixed Term - 12 month Contract

🚀 Cypher Programme Manager – Australia & New Zealand

NZD $180k–$200k (salary-based, 12-month fixed term) • Sydney / Melbourne / Auckland • Enterprise Transformation

Travel in NZ and Australia is a requirement!!

Our security client is launching Cypher — a major ANZ transformation reshaping how we operate, scale and deliver for customers. This is a big, multi-workstream change across technology, operations, finance, reconciliations, routing, reporting, controls and workforce adoption.

We’re looking for a high-energy Programme Manager who can bring structure, pace and clarity to a transformation that touches every part of our business. If you thrive in enterprise-level change and love turning ambition into disciplined execution, this is your moment.

The Opportunity

🔧   Lead the full ANZ Cypher transformation programme

🧭   Build governance, roadmap, workstreams and delivery rhythm

🌏   Align AU/NZ requirements and eliminate duplication

🔄   Turn strategy into future-state processes, roles and controls

🤝   Partner with technology vendors, operational leaders, finance, risk and customer teams

📣   Drive readiness, training and adoption across frontline operations

🏛️   Report directly to the Executive Sponsor and Steering Committee

What You Bring

✅   Proven leadership of large, multi-workstream transformation programmes

✅   Strong governance, roadmap, risk and delivery discipline

✅   Experience delivering transformation across multiple business functions

✅   Ability to operate confidently across jurisdictions — ANZ experience a bonus

✅   Strong stakeholder influence and the confidence to challenge constructively

✅   Background in operationally complex or regulated environments is highly valued

✅   To be eligible for this role, you must be a NZ citizen or resident

Contract & Remuneration

We’re targeting NZD $180k–$200k p.a. on a 12-month fixed-term salary contract. We know senior programme leaders often work on day-rates — if you’re exceptional, we still want to talk.

Why It Matters

Cypher is an enterprise transformation, not a tech rollout. You’ll shape how our client operates across AU & NZ — delivering clarity, consistency, scalability and stronger customer outcomes.
