Privacy & Data Protection Technology Project Manager
- Max‑term contract (13 months), full-time position
- Melbourne based, flexible hybrid working environment
- Lead technology delivery for a multi‑year privacy and data protection uplift program
At AustralianSuper, we truly care about our colleagues. We know work and life are intertwined. That’s why we support the diverse needs of everyone and have policies that enable us all to thrive and be truly flexible. We ensure diversity is celebrated for the opportunity it provides us all to learn and grow and deliver better outcomes for members.
Your New Role
Are you a Technology Project Manager who thrives at the intersection of privacy, data protection and complex enterprise delivery?
As Privacy & Data Protection Technology Project Manager (internally known as just Technology Project manager), you’ll sit within the Information & Physical Security team, delivering into the Data Services program. You will lead technology delivery for a multi‑year initiative focused on improving how sensitive and restricted data is identified, governed and protected across the Fund. This is a proactive data protection uplift project, not a reactive remediation project.
Core foundations are already in place, including the selection and build of a new Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) platform. Your role will lead the next phase, taking solutions through to production, expanding capability across additional data types, and coordinating delivery across Technology, Data and business teams.
You’ll bring strong Agile technology delivery capability, be comfortable engaging deeply with vendors and engineering teams alike and confidently navigate delivery in a regulated financial services environment.
What You’ll Do
- Lead end-to-end delivery of technology initiatives supporting privacy and data protection uplift across the Program
- Deliver new platforms and services supporting data scanning, classification, tagging, obfuscation, records management and privacy controls
- Manage delivery governance including planning, financials, risks, dependencies, testing, deployment and handover to support
- Apply agile delivery and SCRUM practices, using Jira to manage backlogs, sprints and demand across multi‑stream initiatives
- Partner closely with vendors, security, data and technology teams to ensure solutions meet regulatory, quality and operational requirements
- Support ongoing uplift of delivery capability, governance and data‑centric ways of working across the program
What You’ll Need
- Extensive experience delivering complex technology projects or programs in regulated environments (financial services strongly preferred)
- Expertise in delivering complex, multi‑stream technology initiatives focused on data privacy and security, spanning sensitive data identification, management and destruction, and regulatory‑driven control uplift
- Experience with personal information scanning tools, or enterprise data privacy/security platforms is highly sought after
- Deep understanding of Agile delivery, SCRUM practices and demand management using Jira
- Ability to “talk tech” confidently engaging with vendors, architects and engineering teams
- Strong stakeholder management, governance and risk management capability
- Commercial acumen across vendor, contract and budget management
- Ability to lead calmly and effectively in high-pressure, high‑visibility environments
