Take ownership of the software engineering strategy and enterprise delivery for a mission‐critical organisation. You will bridge the gap between high-level strategic planning and technical execution, leading the evolution of applications that optimise complex, large-scale network operations.
What's in it for you?
You will step into a pivotal leadership position where you own the direction, lifecycle, and ongoing evolution of mission‐critical planning systems and applications. This is your opportunity to move beyond standard management and truly "own the space," maturing delivery standards and software engineering practices for a major industry-led coordination hub.
You will play a critical role supporting the business's Strategic Plan, tying together technology-enabled change with people-delivered results to ensure regional infrastructure remains resilient and sustainable. If you enjoy the challenge of sitting at the intersection of software engineering leadership, business strategy, and enterprise-wide delivery, this role offers the autonomy to shape how mission‐critical technology is delivered.
What you'll be doing:
* Leading Capability: You will lead, coach, and develop a high-performing team across software engineering, systems analysis, and product delivery.
* Orchestrating Engineering: You will oversee the lifecycle of mission-critical planning applications, ensuring they remain reliable, secure, and maintainable.
* Enabling Enterprise Delivery: You will lead the development of practical delivery standards and ways of working to improve consistency and execution across the entire organisation.
* Managing Complexity: Your day-to-day involves balancing operational reliability, technical sustainability, and diverse stakeholder needs within a complex environment.
* Strategic Influence: You will contribute to the broader technology strategy, providing expert advice on software maturity and future improvement opportunities.
Experience required:
* Technical Foundation: Tertiary qualification in a relevant discipline or equivalent experience in technology leadership and software delivery.
* Leadership Expertise: Proven experience leading software engineering or application delivery teams, with a strong ability to coach and build a constructive culture.
* Critical System Ownership: Experience owning business-critical applications where reliability, security, and change control are paramount.
* Delivery Mindset: A practical approach to initiative delivery, with the ability to create structure and momentum without unnecessary process overhead.
* Communication: Exceptional stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to clarify needs and resolve ambiguity across business and technical teams.
