Job Title: Staff Software Manager (Data)

Location: Bangalore

Business & Team: Our Bankwest Technology division is at the heart of our digital product strategy and is responsible for the management and deployment of technology change across the organisation. Our tech teams work at pace, with autonomy and local decision making, to deploy world-class solutions in the pursuit of our business strategy.

You’ll be joining our Bankwest Tech Team, a critical supporting function that allows teams to deliver rapidly whilst still aligning to a strategic roadmap. As a team of trusted internal consultants, you’ll provide the expertise, guidance and technology governance to delivery teams to plot a pragmatic path between today’s deliverables and our longer term enterprise objectives. You’ll provide input into roadmaps, best practice, standards and methodologies to help ensure high quality outcomes, and oversee implementation to ensure business objectives are met.

Since you bridge the gap between business problems and technology solutions, you’ll need to be equally comfortable engaging with senior stakeholders as with engineering teams, and excellent communication skills (in both directions) are a must. And often you’ll work across a range of different initiatives, so whilst you’re never short of a challenge, the ability to work independently and manage your own time is important
