IT Project Manager

Applications are warmly invited for a IT Project Manager role based in Umhlanga. We welcome candidates from every background across KwaZulu-Natal who are ready to grow with us.

The Role

The organisation is investing in its Umhlanga operation, and this IT Project Manager position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the it jobs function and contribute to the wider KwaZulu-Natal business.

Communication runs both ways. Managers across the it jobs team in KwaZulu-Natal make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.

Quality is everyone’s job. Whether the IT Project Manager is processing a transaction, supporting a colleague or handling a customer query, the standard expected in KwaZulu-Natal is consistently high and consistently fair.

Working in Umhlanga

Equally, the role is based in Umhlanga, along the lush KZN North Coast. Public transport links and parking are within easy reach, making the daily commute manageable for candidates living across Umhlanga and the broader KwaZulu-Natal region.

If you are relocating, the team can share practical pointers on neighbourhoods, transport and the typical pace of life in Umhlanga, KwaZulu-Natal.

Accessibility is taken seriously: where the role allows, the team works toward a balance of in-office presence and flexibility for candidates based in and around Umhlanga.

Diversity and Inclusion

Importantly, the organisation is committed to transformation and equal opportunity. Hiring is on merit, and applications are actively encouraged from women, youth, people with disabilities and other historically disadvantaged groups in line with the Employment Equity plan and B-BBEE objectives.

Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Umhlanga.

Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across KwaZulu-Natal.

What We Offer

Few roles let you see the impact of your work as quickly as this one. Every shift, project and decision in Umhlanga contributes to real outcomes for clients and colleagues across the it jobs space in KwaZulu-Natal.

Recognition matters here. Strong performers are noticed quickly, and many promotions across the business have started in the Umhlanga teams.

Benefits are clear and consistent. Beyond the package on offer, the role includes the supports you would expect from an established South African employer in KwaZulu-Natal.
