• Life Days are the Leidos way of recognising that we all need extra time to take care of life. By working slightly more than the minimum weekly hours (2 hours per week for full-timers), you can accrue up to 12 days of leave per year.
• Due to the nature of the role, you must be an Australian Citizen and hold an active NV-1 AGSVA security clearance (NV-2 Preferred).

Leidos Australia delivers technology and airborne solutions that protect and advance the Australian way of life.

Leidos Australia supports the integration of intelligence and situational awareness capabilities through the JP2096 Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) system. This work enables Defence analysts to rapidly search, collate and assimilate data from multiple sources, supporting more timely and informed decision making in complex operational environments.

The Service Delivery Project Manager is responsible for the successful delivery of software sustainment and enhancement activities across multiple Development & Integration (D&I) squads within the Mission System environment.

• Monitor delivery performance through practical delivery metrics, reporting and visual management tools to support informed decision making.
• Contribute to the ongoing evolution of service operations capabilities, building repeatable delivery practices that improve delivery reliability, scalability and customer outcomes.
