Your New Role and Responsibilities

Reporting into the Program Manager, you will provide technical leadership over a mission-critical Defence program which encompasses over 100 staff in both developmental and sustainment activities. Key activities that include:

  • Represent the team and shape work processes, collaborating with customers to deliver complex capabilities while taking accountability for both successes and mistakes.

  • Work closely with Software Engineering and System Architecture leaders to drive technical planning, estimation, and risk assessments.

What You'll Bring to Make An Impact

  • Strong planning and estimation skills for technical activities, including software development, and providing technical leadership to diverse stakeholders.

  • Highly desirable skills include familiarity with Linux, Solr, NiFi, Spring Boot, Kafka, Elastic Stack, Ansible, Keycloak, Git, and Java.

  • Expertise in system and application design, with experience in virtualization, containerization, and system engineering methodologies (e.g., IEA632).

  • Strong communication skills, capable of explaining complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.

  • Proven leadership abilities, adaptability, strong problem-solving, and time management skills, with a customer-focused approach and familiarity with Defence processes.

Don't worry if you don't tick all the boxes – if you meet most of them, we encourage you to submit your application. We're most interested in your strengths, what you want to learn and how far you want to go.
