The Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead our flagship ASDEFCON Project which started in January 2022. Due to the sensitive nature of the technology involved it is not possible to put detail in this advert, but should you be successful in getting to interview, you will find an interesting technology project with a substantial budget and a product roadmap that continues well into the future.

As part of the PMO Functional team you will report to the Program Director with the sole responsibility for the successful delivery of this key Project. The Project will include the usual ASDEFCON PM, engineering and ILS requirements with a team built to match the required outputs.

The PM will have responsibility for the effective management and accurate reporting and forecasting of project resources, project risks and costs. The PM will also have the majority of the responsibility for stakeholder management including the most critical stakeholder – the Customer.

The successful candidate will have formal project management qualifications and demonstrated experience in delivering in an ASDEFCON environment. The successful candidate will be supported by a Project Controls team but must have a good knowledge of Earned Value Management.
