As a Project Manager within National Technology, you will be responsible for leading the end-to-end delivery of the DMS project, overseeing all phases from current state discovery and future state design through to architecture, tool selection, migration, and adoption.
Responsibilities

- Coordinate stakeholders across Audit, Tax, Consulting, National Technology, Information Security, Risk and Compliance, ensuring requirements from each service line and support function are captured and addressed.
- Identify, assess and manage project risks, issues, actions and decisions proactively, escalating to the programme sponsor and steering committee as needed.
- Facilitate regular project, governance and technical stand-up meetings, providing clear updates to business stakeholders and ensuring alignment across teams and the implementation partner.
- Oversee the design and rollout of governance, security and compliance configurations — including Microsoft Purview retention, sensitivity labels, DLP, least-privilege access via Azure AD and lifecycle controls — ensuring the solution meets regulatory and information governance requirements.
