Technical Project Coordinator (Maternity Cover)

Roster: Monday to Friday

Duration: 6-months (Maternity Cover, with possibility to extend)

This role sits within the PMO side of Programmes, helping improve Elysia’s delivery excellence, governance, tooling and project visibility, while also providing hands‑on delivery support for internal technical projects.

It is ideal for someone with a technical background who enjoys improving how work gets delivered and aspires to grow into a technical Project Manager role.

You will use data, tools and process to help teams move faster, make better decisions and deliver consistently.

You will own the consistent setup, tracking and reporting of technical projects across programmes, ensuring project information is accurate, structured and reliable.

You will work with Project Managers and technical teams to set up JIRA projects, plans, trackers, dashboards and reporting routines across Elysia’s portfolio and projects you own, providing clear visibility of project status, milestones, risks and dependencies.

A key part of the role will be improving the operations behind project delivery, making sure tools, templates and processes are efficient, useful and followed by teams.

You will help identify gaps, inconsistencies and pain points in how projects are planned and tracked, then support improvements to Elysia’s delivery processes, governance and ways of working.

At every step, you will be supported and empowered to make an impact. We are looking for someone excited to work with technical teams and improve how projects are delivered.

• Provide PMO oversight to ensure Project Managers and Programme Managers keep plans, trackers and reports up to date as priorities, estimates, scope or delivery assumptions change.
• Identify recurring pain points in how projects are planned, tracked and reported, then turn them into practical improvements to Elysia’s delivery processes and tools.
• Help ensure teams follow agreed planning, reporting and escalation processes in a way that is useful, lightweight and scalable.
• Support projects you own by maintaining plans, driving actions, tracking blockers and helping teams stay focused on agreed delivery outcomes.
• Own Jira, Confluence and project administration improvements that make project information easier to manage, report and act on.
• Build and sustain positive relationships with Project Managers, Programme Managers, technical teams, Commercial stakeholders and customers where relevant.
