Cachet Group is one of Australia's leading commercial fit-out and interior design firms, delivering premium workplaces, and commercial spaces for some of the most recognised brands in the country and globally.
We're a tight-knit team of designers, project managers, and project leaders who care deeply about craft, collaboration, and creating spaces that genuinely move people.
Joy — We find meaning in our work and celebrate success as a team
Integrity — We do what we say, and we treat people right
Excellence — We hold ourselves to a high bar — and help others reach it too
The Opportunity
This role sits at the heart of what Cachet does. As a Senior Project Manager - Sydney, you'll own the full delivery of complex commercial fit-out and design projects from the first pitch conversation through to client handover and you'll do it in close partnership with our design, commercial, and site teams.
Reporting to the General Manager, you'll work across multiple live projects simultaneously, engaging directly with clients, landlords, consultants, and subcontractors. You'll be trusted to make decisions, manage budgets, and lead people with the support of a business that genuinely wants to see you grow.
This isn't a role where you'll be doing the same thing every day. The variety of sectors, scales, and client types means you'll be constantly learning and the leadership pathway into broader general management is real, not just a line in a job ad.
What You'll Do
* Lead projects end-to-end — managing programs, budgets, subcontractors, and approvals from pitch through to final handover.
* Be the face of the project for clients — running meetings, managing expectations, and making sure every touchpoint reflects Cachet's standard of care.
* Drive site delivery — coordinating with the site team to track progress, quality, safety, and cost performance in real time.
* Handle the commercial side — issuing variations, progress claims, and final invoicing with accuracy and speed.
* Mentor and support junior project managers — sharing your knowledge and helping build the next generation of the team.
About You
You're a confident, commercially sharp project leader who's done this before and is ready to do it at the next level. You don't need to be told what to do — you know how to read a room, manage competing priorities, and keep a project moving even when things get complicated.
What You'll Need
* 8+ years' experience delivering commercial fit-out projects, ideally in a head contractor or principal contractor environment.
* Proven track record managing full project lifecycles — budget, program, design coordination, and handover.
* Strong commercial and financial literacy — budgeting, forecasting, and reporting are second nature.
* Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, from trades to C-suite.
* A collaborative leadership style — you bring out the best in the people around you.
* A relevant qualification in construction management, project management, or a related discipline is highly regarded but not essential if your experience speaks for itself.
What Kind of People Thrive Here
Cachet people are curious, driven, and good to be around. We work hard because we care about the outcome. We celebrate wins as a team and support each other when things get tough.
* Take pride in your work and hold yourself to a high standard.
* Enjoy building relationships — with clients, consultants, and colleagues.
* Are energized by variety and complexity, not overwhelmed by it.
* Lead with empathy and earn respect through your actions.
We genuinely value work-life balance, and we structure workloads accordingly. Our leaders are accessible, our teams are collaborative, and our office is a place people actually want to be.
Benefits & Growth
* Competitive Package — Salary commensurate with experience, reviewed regularly.
* Birthday & Wellness Leave — Extra leave because life matters outside of work.
* Mentorship — Access to experienced leaders across design, delivery, and commercial functions, pathways to management and further growth.
* High-Profile Projects — Work on spaces for leading Australian and global brands.
* Team Culture — Regular events, recognition moments, and a team that genuinely celebrates each other.
* Giving Back — Charity and volunteering opportunities.
* Cross‐Regional Exposure — Opportunities to collaborate with Cachet teams across Australia and New Zealand.
