Job Description & Summary

This is offered as a 12-month Maximum Contract opportunity.

There's real craft in orchestrating complexity - aligning people, plans, and priorities across a large-scale transformation until everything moves as one. As a Senior Project Manager at PwC, you'll bring your proven project delivery expertise and stakeholder leadership to drive the Streamline Client Lifecycle (SCL) Program, based in Sydney / Gadigal. SCL is transforming the way we onboard, interact and deliver for our clients, from onboarding to pricing, contracting and engagement financials. You'll help deliver a simpler, more standardised and smarter client engagement lifecycle by bringing change across process, people, technology and data, partnering with leaders and teams across the firm to strengthen how PwC operates from the inside out.

Why PwC?

At PwC Australia, your skills meet purpose. We tackle big challenges across industries like finance, technology, energy, and health - giving you the chance to make a real impact. Here, your growth is our priority. You'll work with leading teams, explore new technologies, and unlock your full potential.

Join a global community of more than 370,000 people who value bold ideas, collaboration, and lasting change. Together, we're building trust and shaping the future.

What you'll do:

• Lead and drive end-to-end delivery of key initiatives within the SCL Program, monitoring progress against project milestones and outcomes, and reporting risks.

• Oversee multiple initiatives within a project, coordinating priorities and stakeholders across the firm.

• Develop and maintain a comprehensive project plan that addresses risks, dependencies, and communication strategies across the project.

• Lead the integrated project roadmap, ensuring changes to process, people, technology and data across the CEL are sequenced and delivered as one coherent transformation.

• Actively identify and manage cross-workstream dependencies, constraints, and concentration risks.

• Navigate alignment between project priorities, global network requirements and local regulatory and risk obligations.

• Work closely and collaboratively with project sponsors, workstream leads, business owners, and enabling functions to achieve successful outcomes.

• Implement and run a robust and consistent project governance model, including working groups and steering committees, to monitor progress, quality, and compliance.

• Prepare and present regular project status reports, risk updates, and leadership briefings.

• Define, track and report on project metrics and benefits, and capture lessons learned for continuous improvement.

• Provide thought leadership by sharing insights on challenges, best practices and strategies for delivering large-scale business transformation.

• Lead and manage change management activities, including stakeholder engagement, communications and adoption, so new ways of working are embedded across the firm.

• Work and operate comfortably at both strategic and delivery levels.

What we're looking for:

Core skills

• Proven project management experience delivering complex, multi-initiative workstreams.

• Experience leading change that spans process, people, technology and data.

• Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to engage and influence diverse internal teams and senior leaders effectively.

• A transformation mindset - curious, adaptable and comfortable with ambiguity, with the drive to challenge the status quo, rethink how things are done and bring others along on the journey of change.

• Excellent organisational, communication, and problem-solving abilities with a proactive, solution-oriented approach.

Desirable skills

• Experience in client delivery and/or a professional services firm environment.

• Experience with client lifecycle, onboarding, risk, pricing, contracting or finance operations transformation.

• Solid understanding of risk, legal, finance operations, preferably within professional services or highly regulated industries.
