Posted 1 week ago

The Strategic Projects Manager will work directly with the executive leadership team to coordinate and deliver high-priority strategic and operational initiatives across the business.

You will act as a central coordination point for cross-functional projects spanning multiple departments and jurisdictions, ensuring clear ownership, consistent progress, and disciplined execution against agreed business objectives. A key part of the role is translating strategic intent into structured delivery, maintaining momentum across multiple parallel workstreams, and ensuring that critical initiatives are delivered effectively and on time.

This role sits at the centre of the business and is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced, high-accountability environments, enjoys solving complex operational challenges, and is confident working with senior stakeholders across finance, product, operations, and corporate functions.

Example projects may include coordinating PLC fundraising activity, supporting acquisition and due diligence workstreams, managing international office relocations, assisting with regulatory applications and onboarding in new jurisdictions, and overseeing critical infrastructure projects such as banking relationships, insurance, and key vendor transitions.

This role would suit someone with a background in executive support, coordination, or high-level project administration who is ready to step up into a broader operational role with greater ownership and autonomy.

You will move beyond traditional executive assistance into the active delivery of cross-functional, business-critical initiatives across a listed, multi-jurisdictional organisation. This includes working closely with the executive leadership team and taking responsibility for driving progress on strategic priorities and operational initiatives that span multiple departments.

The role is well suited to someone who is highly organised, commercially minded, and comfortable operating in ambiguity, and who is looking to develop into a stronger operator by owning work end-to-end rather than simply supporting execution.

  • Prepare executive reporting and maintain visibility across active strategic projects
