Perpetual Group is an ASX-listed company headquartered in Sydney, Australia, with businesses spanning Asset Management, Wealth Management and Corporate Trust.
Perpetual Corporate Trust is a leading fiduciary, custody and digital business supporting domestic and global financial institutions across debt markets, managed funds and digital solutions.
About the Role
This is a senior commercial software delivery leadership role within Perpetual Digital, which develops SaaS and data platforms for external financial services clients.
You’ll lead delivery across our market-facing software portfolio, working closely with Product and Engineering to turn product roadmaps, client commitments and commercial priorities into successful product releases and client implementations.
This isn’t a traditional PMO role removed from delivery. You’ll personally lead selected complex and strategically important software and client programs, working directly with Product and Engineering teams, clients and technology partners from planning through implementation and production.
Alongside this hands-on delivery accountability, you’ll own the broader portfolio spanning Perpetual Digital and major Perpetual Corporate Trust technology initiatives, providing oversight of priorities, investment, capacity, dependencies, risk, financial performance and outcomes.
For Digital-led initiatives, you’ll provide direct delivery leadership and project assurance. For selected PCT business-sponsored initiatives, you’ll provide the portfolio, delivery capability, resources and disciplines that enable accountable business sponsors to deliver successfully.
Reporting to the General Manager, Perpetual Digital, you’ll operate across Product, Engineering, Data, Architecture, Cyber, Consulting and Operations and help mature how we deliver software, including the practical and governed use of AI and automation.
Key Responsibilities
About You
You’re an experienced technology delivery leader who has worked within a commercial software, SaaS or product engineering environment and understands what it takes to successfully build and implement software for external clients.
You’re comfortable operating between executives, clients, Product and Engineering teams. You understand how software products are planned, designed, built, integrated, tested, released and operated, and can credibly engage with technical teams without needing to be an engineer yourself.
Importantly, you’re not looking for a role that is purely about portfolio reporting and governance. You’re comfortable personally taking ownership of a difficult client or technology program while maintaining a broader view of the portfolio and leading other delivery professionals.
You’ll bring:
Why Perpetual Digital?
This is an opportunity to have influence well beyond an individual program.
You’ll work across commercial software products, external client delivery and enterprise technology transformation, combining hands-on delivery leadership with the ability to shape how a broader portfolio is prioritised and delivered.
You’ll operate in an environment where technology, data and AI are increasingly central to our products and how we work, with the opportunity to improve delivery practices while remaining close to Product, Engineering and our clients.
We value leaders who challenge constructively, own outcomes and focus on making a sustainable impact for our clients and our business.
If you’re excited by the opportunity to combine commercial software delivery, complex client programs and portfolio leadership, we’d like to hear from you.
How we work
Our unique culture is underpinned by our three organisational behaviours, Stretch, Own it, Make an impact which drive our approach of day-to-day interactions with colleagues and clients, the way we approach decision-making to the questions we ask and the problems we solve. We’re committed to creating an inclusive workplace where diversity is celebrated. No matter your background or circumstances, we aim to provide an environment where you can thrive.
