Senior Project Manager – Art Pharmacy & Sugar Glider Digital

About Art Pharmacy
Art Pharmacy is one of Australia’s leading art consultancies. We place original artworks in corporate, healthcare, and hospitality environments, deliver major public art commissions, and operate Sugar Glider Digital, our technology-led creative sub-brand. We run Flourish, a national networking event series for women in the creative industries, and an arts panel talk series.

We are a small, high-performing team with an outsized portfolio. Our projects span corporate fitouts, large-scale public realm commissions, and international cultural infrastructure programs – including a landmark multi-year engagement currently in development with a major Middle Eastern government-backed cultural precinct. This is a pivotal moment in our growth, and we are building the team to match our ambition.

The Opportunity
This is a rare role for someone who wants to run a creative business, not just work in one.
As Senior Project Manager, you will be the operational and commercial backbone of Art Pharmacy and Sugar Glider Digital. You will own delivery from first client conversation through to installation and handover, protect margin, manage the pipeline, lead the team, and work directly alongside the CEO to keep the business one step ahead at all times.

This is not a support role. You will make decisions, hold accountability across a diverse and growing project portfolio – including international commissions – and ensure nothing falls through the cracks. You are as comfortable in a client scoping meeting as you are reviewing a contract, managing a fabricator, or preparing a fee proposal.

The right person sees project management and business operations as two sides of the same coin. You anticipate what is coming, flag risks before they land, and move fast without being chased.
