Senior IT Project Manager

Senior IT Project Manager
📍 Cape Town (Hybrid, 1-2 days in office)

Why this role is worth exploring

This is a chance to step into a high-impact environment where projects aren’t just about delivery – they directly influence how a well-established organisation evolves, operates, and grows.

You’ll be working on large-scale, meaningful technology initiatives with real visibility across the business. There’s strong leadership in place, clear structures, and the opportunity to own projects end-to-end, not just coordinate them.

If you enjoy working across teams, driving change, and seeing your work translate into real outcomes – this role gives you that platform.

The role

You’ll take full ownership of technology projects – from early planning right through to delivery and post-implementation.

This includes:

• Driving projects from concept to completion
• Managing timelines, budgets, risks, and resources
• Working closely with technical teams, stakeholders, and external partners
• Leading cross-functional teams and ensuring alignment across the business
• Overseeing change management on key initiatives
• Ensuring projects deliver real value and meet strategic goals

You’ll essentially be the person who makes things happen – keeping everything on track while balancing people, process, and technology.

What they’re looking for

• Around 6+ years’ experience in IT Project Management
• Proven experience managing complex, enterprise-level projects
• Exposure to both systems/software and infrastructure projects
• Strong experience managing budgets (R2m+) and project delivery
• Ability to lead teams and manage multiple stakeholders
• Experience working with vendors and third-party partners
• Solid understanding of Agile, PMBOK, or similar methodologies

What will make you stand out

• You’re structured, organised, and naturally take ownership
• You’re confident working with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• You can handle ambiguity and still drive delivery
• You’re strong on communication and can influence at different levels
• You’re commercially aware – you understand budgets, trade-offs, and value

The kind of person who thrives here

Someone who enjoys:

• Being in the middle of complex projects
• Leading teams and bringing people together
• Solving problems and keeping momentum
• Delivering real, tangible outcomes

If you’re looking for a role where you can take full ownership, work on meaningful projects, and grow your impact, this is a strong one to consider.
