As the Data Engineering Manager, you’ll lead a small, high-calibre team within the Data, Applications & AI group and report into technology leadership.

- Partner closely with the Reporting & Analytics team and other business stakeholders to prioritise and deliver outcomes;
- Decommission a legacy warehouse and evolve a modern Azure data warehouse and Fabric where it makes sense;
- Embed engineering excellence: version control, CI/CD, testing, IaC, monitoring/alerting, SLAs and incident/change practice; and
- Champion governance, security and cost control: Purview, lineage/access, Key Vault, least-privilege, budgets/alerts.

About you

You’re a hands-on Azure data leader who can move from strategy to code to production support, and you’re comfortable setting pace and standards in a modern platform team.

- Strong SQL, Python and PySpark; data modelling across star, lakehouse and semantic models;
- Proven Dataverse/Dynamics 365 integration at scale and incremental/CDC patterns;
- People leadership: hiring, coaching, performance management; clear communication with execs and engineers;
- Solid CI/CD (Azure DevOps/Git), testing and environment management; privacy-by-design and security best practice; and
- Nice to have: Azure ML & MLOps, FinOps for Azure, Power BI admin at scale.

What’s on offer

Hybrid: currently ~2 days in office (Macquarie Park);

- Benefits: onsite parking, Fitness Passport, retail discounts, supportive team culture; and
