Lead digital operations for a National organisation. Hybrid role with scope across systems, cloud, DevOps, and team leadership. Make a real impact!
Why you’d like it
Work for a values-led, not-for-profit organisation making a real impact on an industry that impacts every Kiwi. This is a leadership opportunity with scope, variety, and the chance to shape the future of digital operations. You'll lead a capable team, partner closely with business stakeholders, and be 2IC to the Chief Digital & Innovation Officer.
The Story
This role is key to ensuring systems and services run smoothly and effectively. The digital and data teams play a pivotal role in supporting over 17,000 members around Aotearoa, New Zealand with innovative tools and technology. You’ll join a modern, forward-thinking environment where your contribution matters and continuous improvement is the norm.
Company Profile
This well-established membership body has supported the real estate industry for over a century. From professional training and guidance to data products and market intelligence, they empower property professionals across New Zealand. The organisation is not-for-profit, driven by service, and embraces innovation to stay ahead of member needs.
Your Role
As Digital Operations Manager, you’ll lead a team of 7 across software development, service desk, application support, and hybrid platforms. You’ll drive operational performance, manage vendors, and champion agile delivery and service excellence. You’ll also partner closely with a peer leading data operations and report directly to the CDIO.
You won’t be coding—but you’ll need to understand .net and Azure to guide decisions and support the team. You’ll oversee cloud and infrastructure, drive DevOps maturity, improve service management, and play a key role in improving cybersecurity through policy, governance and technical input whilst working alongside vendors. Ultimately, you’re the go-to to make things happen, and the trusted hand steering the ship day-to-day.
Benefits
You’re an experienced tech leader with strengths across digital operations, service management, and stakeholder engagement. You’re proactive, calm under pressure, and capable of balancing delivery with continuous improvement. You bring experience with Azure infrastructure, application support, security, and agile delivery. A service management mindset if key, and comfort working alongside .net developers is ideal. You enjoy developing people, optimising processes, and solving problems—fast.
