Senior Project Manager

Worldline NZ, the leader in New Zealand’s electronic payments ecosystem, is embarking on one of the most significant modernisation programmes in our history — replacing our legacy payment switch with a modern, cloud‑based platform. This multi‑year transformation is mission‑critical to keeping New Zealand’s payments running smoothly, securely, and at scale.

We’re looking for a high‑impact Senior Project Manager to lead this complex, high‑visibility programme across technology, operations, security, product, and our extensive network of external partners.

What you’ll lead

• The end‑to‑end upgrade and migration of our national payment switch
• Multi‑stream delivery across infrastructure, cloud, security, and business change
• Executive‑level governance, Steering Committee leadership, and decision forums
• Vendor, global stakeholder, and customer engagement (banks, telcos, terminal providers)
• Phased customer migrations requiring near‑zero downtime
• Risk, compliance, PCI DSS alignment, and operational readiness

What you bring

• 10+ years delivering large‑scale, mission‑critical technology programmes
• Experience in payments, banking, cloud migration, or real‑time transaction systems
• Strong stakeholder influence across technical and executive audiences
• Excellent communication, commercial acumen, and leadership under pressure
• Desirable: PMP, PRINCE2, or Agile certifications

Why join Worldline NZ?

You’ll be at the heart of a programme that impacts nearly every Kiwi, working with passionate experts who keep New Zealand’s payment engine running. You’ll shape a major strategic investment, form deep partnerships across the business, and deliver a transformation that will define Worldline NZ’s future platform.
