How you'll make an impact

As the Portfolio Delivery Principal, you'll serve as the single point of delivery accountability and leadership for North Platform's strategic transformation, orchestrating the successful execution of complex value streams and projects that directly enhance AMP's competitive position in the wealth management sector. Your leadership will establish a centre of delivery excellence, creating consistent methods and standards for planning, execution, and monitoring that enable the effective realisation of strategic objectives across the North Platform. Through your direct management of the Delivery Leadership Team and partnership with AMP Programs, you'll shape portfolio roadmaps and drive large-scale transformation initiatives while maintaining meticulous oversight of timelines, budgets, risks and quality. Your strategic influence extends to Board and Executive-level communications where you'll articulate delivery status and opportunities, ensuring North Technology's initiatives align with AMP's broader strategic objectives while fostering a high-performance culture that delivers measurable value to clients and stakeholders.

What you will bring to the role

Your success will be anchored in years of proven delivery leadership experience, demonstrating your ability to manage multiple concurrent initiatives in complex and high-pressure environments while identifying and managing program risks across diverse technology portfolios. You'll bring in-depth knowledge of best practice delivery methodologies, with expertise in embedding end-to-end Agile frameworks through cross-functional business and technology teams, complemented by a comprehensive understanding of the software development lifecycle and how PMO, business and technology roles interact to produce high-quality outcomes. Your leadership capabilities will shine through your ability to lead and inspire teams through transformational change, developing and instilling a continuous improvement culture focused on innovation and process excellence while consulting with senior stakeholders to drive high standards of delivery and operation. Most importantly, you'll bring outstanding communication and interpersonal skills that enable you to make the complex simple, work confidently with senior stakeholders to clarify needs and manage expectations and build strategic partnerships with third-party suppliers while maintaining governance over complex delivery portfolios and supporting the delivery of robust, resilient platform solutions.

You’ll thrive here if…

If you can adapt from BAU to the ambiguous with ease, you’ll do well here. Change is never easy, so bring your commitment, grit and growth mindset.

Because we run lean, you’ll be expected to jump in and deliver across a variety of areas. Meaning, you’ll be closer to the action and executive decisions that influence where we go next.

If you’re someone that can hold their own, you’ll find AMP quite liberating. 

Why we think you’ll love working at AMP

Doing what we’ve always done is not an option, so your clever ideas will get airtime here. You’ll be encouraged to speak up and try new things. If they don’t work, we move on – better for it.

We know there’s no one way of doing things. So, you won’t have to sacrifice who you are or how you work to fit in here. We’re inclusive and flexible in many of the ways you’d expect. And in some of the ways you wouldn’t. As long as your health and wellbeing come first - at home and at work. 

In fact, most of what makes AMP such a welcoming, enjoyable place to work are our people. Wherever you go, you’ll find moments to connect, feel valued and do meaningful work. 

Whether it’s through our first-class leaders who are invested in you and your success. Through year-round opportunities to volunteer, fundraise and give back to the community. Or in the everyday challenges you face as we work together to strengthen this great organisation. Challenges that will stretch you, amplify your potential and compound the impact you have. 

We believe in the power of inclusion and diversity

We’re dedicated to fostering inclusion, diversity, and a warm feeling of belonging at AMP. It sparks creativity, ignites innovation, and turns up the dial on the quality of our decisions and performance. This not only makes our workplace more engaged, but also leads to better connections with our customers. 

We're your allies in the search for the perfect fit - when you apply, let us know how we can support you to put your best self forward during our selection process. 

We're also committed to enhancing employment opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, so we enthusiastically encourage candidates from these backgrounds to apply and explore our Reconciliation Plan on our website

Ready to create your tomorrow?

If you’re someone who sees opportunity where others see challenge, come and work with us in smart, progressive ways as we transform an iconic Australian brand for the future. And, through a series of career-defining moments, create your own tomorrow.

Don’t procrastinate! We review applications when we get them, and if we discover the ideal candidate, we may close the role earlier than the advertised close date.
