About the role
As a Project Manager (Consultant), you will make an impact by leading the delivery and sustained operation of digital systems for a Singapore public sector client. You will work collaboratively with product, design, engineering, procurement, security and vendor teams to keep delivery, commercial and operational priorities aligned.
You will independently manage small-to-medium ICT projects or substantial maintenance workstreams, own working-level governance and vendor performance, and drive delivery matters through to closure.
In this role, you will:
· Own end-to-end delivery plans, including scope, schedules, milestones, dependencies, risks, issues, decisions, change control and management reporting.
· Partner with product managers, designers and engineering teams to translate user needs into delivery priorities; facilitate Agile ceremonies and remove working-level impediments.
· Lead test and release-readiness activities across system, user and security testing, operational handover, implementation prerequisites and post-release follow-up.
· Manage vendors, maintenance contracts and service agreements, including service levels, renewals, licence and subscription planning, end-of-support upgrades, service requests and performance governance.
· Coordinate procurement, financial and security workstreams, including tender or quotation documentation, contract variations, invoice validation, budget forecasting, vulnerability remediation and patch delivery.
Work model
We believe hybrid work is the way forward as we strive to provide flexibility wherever possible. Based on this role’s business requirements, this is a hybrid position requiring three days a week in a client or Cognizant office in Singapore. Regardless of your working arrangement, we are here to support a healthy work-life balance through our various wellbeing programs.
The working arrangements for this role are accurate as of the date of posting. This may change based on the project you’re engaged in, as well as business and client requirements. Rest assured, we will always be clear about role expectations.
What you must have to be considered
· A Bachelor’s degree is mandatory.
· At least 4 years and less than 7 years of relevant project management experience, including independent delivery of ICT projects or digital products from planning through implementation, transition and operational support.
· Demonstrated ownership of schedules, milestones, dependencies, risks, issues, budgets, vendors, contracts, service requests and concise management reporting.
· Experience working across product, engineering and service-provider teams, with practical knowledge of Agile, Scrum and Waterfall delivery approaches.
· Experience preparing procurement or contract documentation and coordinating formal reviews, approvals, vendor proposals and effort estimates.
· Strong written and verbal communication skills, with a meticulous, tenacious approach and the ability to prioritise competing demands and follow matters through to closure.
These will help you succeed
· PMP or PRINCE2 Practitioner certification; PMI-ACP, Certified ScrumMaster or Professional Scrum Master certification is advantageous.
· Experience with Singapore Government or comparable public-sector procurement, funding, contract variation and formal approval processes.
· Working knowledge of ITIL practices, cybersecurity remediation, vulnerability management, patching and technology lifecycle planning.
· Proficiency with tools such as Jira, Confluence, Microsoft Project, Azure DevOps, SharePoint, Excel or Power BI for delivery and management reporting.
· Experience delivering cloud migration, enterprise application, case-management, platform-upgrade or citizen-facing digital-service initiatives.
