About the company

At AC3, our purpose is to make technology real, and as the leaders in secure multi-cloud solutions, we get to do this for our customers every day. We are an Australian owned ICT MSP, with offices in Sydney, Melbourne and Auckland, servicing over 50% of the NSW State Government and over 700 enterprise customers.

We are a growing business with a focus on three technology areas – cloud and infrastructure, cyber security, and software and data integration. We support our customers at every step of their technology journey, from consult, to procure and build, to run and optimise and talent management.

Who are we looking for?

We’re looking for a calm, credible and hands-on PMO Manager to lead a team of Project Managers delivering projects across multiple customers, technologies and partners.

You’ll be leading in a customer facing PMO in an MSP environment where project delivery moves quickly, priorities shift, escalations happen, and strong relationships matter.

You’ll bring stability, structure and trust to the PMO, helping Project Managers feel coached, supported and accountable. You’ll be close enough to the detail to guide delivery health, manage risk, challenge assumptions and step into escalations when needed, while still lifting the overall capability, pace and consistency of the function.

AC3 is dedicated to growing the representation of women in technology, and women are warmly encouraged to apply.

What you’ll do?

• Lead, coach and support a team of Project Managers
• Bring consistency, structure and confidence to project delivery
• Oversee delivery health across scope, schedule, budget, risk and quality
• Reduce escalations by lifting PM capability and delivery discipline
• Build trusted relationships with customers, partners and internal teams
• Improve PMO standards, operating rhythms and practical governance

What we'd love to see?

• Experience leading a customer-facing PMO in an MSP or System Integrator
• Recent hands-on Project Management experience within the last 5-10 years
• Strong project fundamentals across financials, schedules, risks and governance
• At least 5 years’ leadership experience coaching and developing PMs
• Experience delivering across multiple customers, technologies and project sizes
• At least two certifications across PMP, PRINCE2 and Agile

A plus if you have…

• PMO or business unit financial management experience
• Cloud, hosted platforms or managed services exposure
• Commercial, contract, ITIL or service management experience

Even if you don’t check every box, your passion and curiosity matter. If this role excites you, we would love to see your application.
