Lifeblood is more than just a job or a career, it’s an opportunity to be part of something that matters. As an organisation, our purpose is simple: to give life. Together, we want to help you build a fulfilling career with Lifeblood.

 

About the role

As our Mobiles Project Manager, you will be the driving force behind the design, delivery and rollout of our mobile collection units, bringing Lifeblood’s donation experience to more communities across Australia. Your work will directly support our strategic growth and help ensure we are there for every Australian who needs us.

 

You will lead projects from concept to completion, working within a dynamic, multi stakeholder environment where collaboration is key. With your sharp project management skills and specialist knowledge, you will guide decision making, shape business solutions and spot opportunities to make our mobile operations even better.

 

From budgets and risk management to scheduling and compliance, you will have full oversight of every stage of delivery, keeping everything on track, on time and aligned with TGA audit requirements. You will also play a pivotal role in crafting clear communications, driving change management and governance, and presenting project updates to stakeholder groups and committees.

 

Success in this role means delivering high quality, consistent and efficient outcomes that strengthen our mobile collection network and ultimately help Lifeblood continue its life changing mission.

  • Relevant business or specialist tertiary qualifications and experience in a similar environment or field.

  • Demonstrated experience in achieving results through prioritisation, organisation, decision making and time management.
  • Proven knowledge and experience in Capital Expenditure reporting with a demonstrated knowledge of delegation policy and impacts to governance.
  • Knowledge of workplace health and safety policies and procedures.

  • Proven attention to detail and accuracy in the production of quality documentation, reports and communication material.
  • Experience working within a highly regulated environment.

 

This is a 2-year fixed-term, position rotating between WFH and one of our Processing Centres. We are flexible on location within Australia. Additionally, we have a preference for full-time but would consider 0.8 FTE. Lifeblood is proud to accommodate flexible working and we are open to conversations around what this means to you.
