Program Controller
This role sits within a very large, highly complex ICT infrastructure program with multiple concurrent workstreams, critical dependencies, and tight governance expectations. We’re looking for a senior, seasoned Program Controller (5-10 years’ experience) who can confidently manage integrated schedules, financial tracking, and delivery reporting at scale.
Experience in health (or similarly regulated, high-stakes environments) is strongly preferred, as the work supports enterprise systems and services that require strong discipline around controls, audit trails, and stakeholder management across technical teams, vendors, and operational business areas.
What you’ll be doing
- Build and manage an integrated program schedule across multiple infrastructure projects (MS Project)
- Maintain baselines, milestones, dependencies, and critical paths
- Track progress vs plan, highlight variance, and produce forward delivery forecasts
- Coordinate schedule updates with Project Managers, technical leads, vendors, and delivery teams
- Manage program-level budget tracking (actuals, commitments, accruals, forecasts) and monthly reporting
- Support change impacts across schedule/financials (scope, delays, procurement, vendor performance)
- Produce governance reporting for program leadership and forums (e.g., Program Board)
- Maintain controls, registers, templates, reporting standards, and audit trails
- Monitor cross-program risks and interdependencies (projects, applications, vendors, business initiatives)
What we’re looking for
- Proven experience in a complex ICT program environment (infrastructure/networks highly regarded)
- Strong MS Project scheduling expertise (WBS, dependencies, critical path)
- Solid financial controls capability: budgeting, forecasting, milestone/deliverable tracking
- Strong reporting and documentation skills; confident stakeholder engagement
- Experience working within PMO / program governance frameworks
- Relevant certification desirable (PRINCE2 Foundation / PMI / AIPM / PMBOK)
