Job description

We shape leading experiences across office, retail, logistics and student accommodation.

We’re one of Australia’s largest property groups, managing $38.9 billion worth of assets across the country.

Our sustainable returns from investments come from focusing on what matters most to customers — a great experience and doing good. Every day, our people are driving positive impact for people, place and planet. They’re inquisitive, pioneering industry firsts and pushing new ideas to deliver exceptional outcomes.

This passion and expertise creates an employee experience that puts wellbeing, flexibility and opportunity first.

The role

At GPT, we're looking for an AI Manager to join our high-performing Technology team and lead our AI roadmap, driving real, measurable business value through smart AI delivery. In this role, you'll build and lead an internal AI team, establish an AI Centre of Excellence, and embed best-practice AI delivery across the organisation — all while partnering closely with stakeholders to ensure AI scales effectively and sustainably from the ground up.

What you will be doing

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead & develop the AI team — build and grow a team of solution, product and adoption specialists while cultivating trusted relationships with senior leaders.
• Own the AI roadmap — drive capability investments and prioritise a focused portfolio of high-impact use cases aligned to GPT's AI strategy.
• Shape AI platform direction — ensure enterprise AI platforms meet use-case, user-experience and governance requirements.
• Deliver AI solutions — bring GenAI, machine learning and agentic automation into production with clear requirements, priorities and adoption outcomes.
• Champion AI literacy — partner with L&D to build broad-based AI fluency and drive adoption across the workforce.
• Establish an AI Centre of Excellence — set standards, embed best practice and build reusable AI capability at scale across the business.
• Manage governance & risk — deliver within GPT's security and compliance frameworks, proactively identifying and mitigating AI risks.

What makes you stand out

You've got deep practical fluency across GenAI, agentic patterns, RAG and workflow automation, and delivered AI use cases to production — not just shaped or sponsored them. You're comfortable leading multi-disciplinary teams, managing strategic partner relationships, and building trust with senior leaders.

You'll bring 10+ years across technology, product or consulting, with at least 4–5 years leading AI, data or digital product teams at an enterprise level. You've likely come from an AI product, digital innovation or technology leadership role in financial services, real estate, professional services or similar. A relevant tertiary qualification is expected — postgraduate study or AI credentials are a nice to have.

What makes us stand out

• Enjoy flexible working arrangements and generous leave options.
• Experience market-leading parental leave benefits including 22 weeks paid leave for either carer and childcare allowance once you return to work.
• Embrace diverse and challenging career opportunities, supported by our dedicated Learning & Development Team committed to your growth.
• Engage in comprehensive Wellbeing programs and benefit from market-leading policies and support tailored to diverse needs.
• Be recognised by peers through nomination awards and take part in our generous Employee Referral Program.
