About The Position

We are seeking an experienced, proactive, and values-driven Program Manager - Technology to join our Technology & PMO team. Reporting directly to the Head of PMO (Delivery & Transformation), this pivotal role serves as the critical strategic interface between business units and Technology, driving the delivery of complex multi-domain programs that underpin Snowy Hydro’s corporate strategy and energy transition initiatives.

In this role, you will take ownership of a rich, diverse technology portfolio spanning Generation, Commercial Operations, and Retail environments—ranging from system integration to trading platform enhancements (ITMS), cybersecurity, and corporate applications. Leading an established team of 9 to 15 internal and contract Project Managers, you will champion delivery hygiene and rigorous governance while empowering and developing our internal capability.

If you are an empathetic leader and clear communicator who excels at bridging technical detail with C-suite strategy, navigating transformation, and turning complex roadmaps into high-impact business outcomes, this chunky and impactful role offers an outstanding opportunity to make your mark.

Key Responsibilities

• Strategic Roadmap & Prioritisation: Own the technology delivery roadmap for assigned business domains. Track financial-year capital investment technology commitments, facilitate quarterly domain prioritisation reviews, and balance competing business demand against delivery capacity to maximise organisational value.
• Program Delivery & Best-Practice Assurance: Oversee end-to-end execution across multiple concurrent technology projects. Maintain rigorous project hygiene, best-practice delivery controls, risk mitigation, and milestone tracking across both traditional waterfall and modern agile/hybrid delivery lifecycles.
• People Leadership & Capability Development: Lead, coach, and support a team of 9 to 15 Project Managers. Cultivate internal capability and "grow energy superstars" by identifying skill gaps, offering targeted development pathways, and supporting team wellbeing and resilience through organisational transformation.
• Executive Stakeholder Partnership: Facilitate program steering committees attended by executive stakeholders. Act as a strategic translator by turning complex technical challenges and project data into plain, accessible business language, maintaining executive confidence and ensuring transparent escalation management.
• Delivery Governance & Tooling: Establish operational rigour and transparent reporting using enterprise tools (Jira, ServiceNow SPM), providing executive leadership and the Head of PMO with frontline visibility into portfolio health, delivery pinch points, and financial performance.
