About us:

At NCS Australia, we believe in doing technology services better. Our commitment to quality, focus on people, and willingness to challenge traditional thinking set us apart. Our team brings this belief to life by partnering with our clients and communities to make tomorrow together.

We are committed to creating an environment that prioritises innovation, collaboration, and purposeful work. Our diverse team is empowered to make a meaningful impact with curiosity, creativity and resilience to shape better outcomes. Join us and accept the challenge of creating a better tomorrow.

We’re looking for a Senior Project Manager to lead a critical cyber security project focused on data management, data classification, and data loss prevention (DLP) across both managed and unmanaged devices. This is a high-visibility role where your ability to drive complex programs, coordinate cross-functional teams, and deliver results that matter will be key to success.

As the Senior Project Manager, you will take full ownership of planning, executing, and closing complex cyber security project work packages. Your focus will be on implementing effective data classification strategies and data loss prevention measures across both managed and unmanaged devices, ensuring the project stays aligned with business priorities.

You’ll be responsible for managing all aspects of the project lifecycle, applying structured project management methodologies to track progress, control risks, and deliver on-time, on-budget, and to the expected quality standards. You’ll be the go-to person for regular updates and formal status reporting to business sponsors, program managers, and steering committees.

In this highly collaborative role, you'll act as a central point of contact between the Cyber Security team, internal project teams, technology partners, key business stakeholders, and the PMO. You’ll drive alignment across all parties, ensure transparency around deliverables and timelines, and foster accountability to deliver secure, user-centric outcomes that support the organisation’s broader security objectives.

• Proven experience as a Senior Project Manager in cyber security, ideally with hands-on exposure to data management and DLP initiatives.

• Strong understanding of data classification frameworks and working with both managed and unmanaged endpoints.

• Exceptional stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to influence at all levels.

• Solid experience in structured project management methodologies (e.g., PRINCE2, PMBOK, Agile).

• Ability to drive delivery in complex environments with multiple vendors, business units, and technical stakeholders.
