For 90 years, we've put our members, and our people, first. Make your career meaningful with GMHBA.

Technology is at the heart of how we deliver better experiences for our members and communities. We're looking for an accomplished Platforms & Engineering Manager to lead our enterprise engineering capability and shape the future of our application platforms, cloud services and digital ecosystem.

This is more than a technical leadership role. It's an opportunity to influence enterprise-wide technology decisions, build high-performing engineering teams, drive platform excellence and help deliver strategic outcomes across a purpose-led organisation.

If you're passionate about engineering leadership, modern cloud platforms and building technology that makes a real difference, we'd love to hear from you.

Why this role?

You’ll lead the engineering function responsible for some of GMHBA’s most critical technology platforms, including:

• Auth0 Customer Identity

You’ll be trusted to set engineering standards, shape platform roadmaps, influence strategic technology investments and lead a team delivering secure, scalable and resilient platforms across the enterprise.

What you’ll do

• Lead and develop a high-performing engineering team, mentoring specialists across cloud, DevOps, integration, identity and business applications while building capability for the future.
• Own the strategy, health and evolution of critical enterprise platforms, ensuring they remain secure, resilient, scalable and aligned to business objectives.
• Drive engineering excellence through best practice in DevOps, CI/CD, observability, release management, platform reliability and technical governance.
• Provide strategic technology leadership, partnering with senior stakeholders to shape platform roadmaps, manage risks and guide key investment decisions.
• Represent Enterprise Applications in technology governance forums, including the IT Change Advisory Board (CAB), to ensure changes are assessed, prioritised and delivered safely.
• Partner with leading technology providers and delivery partners, including Microsoft and Okta, to maximise platform performance, innovation and value while maintaining quality and supportability.
• Champion continuous improvement, promoting automation, reusable engineering patterns, knowledge sharing and modern ways of working across the technology function.
• Balance engineering capacity and priorities, ensuring resources are effectively aligned across operational support, lifecycle management, regulatory commitments and strategic initiatives.

About you

You’re a respected technology leader who combines strong people leadership with broad technical expertise and commercial awareness.

You’ll bring:

• Extensive experience leading engineering, cloud, application, DevOps or integration teams in a complex enterprise environment
• Strong knowledge of Azure platforms, application engineering, identity and access management, integration services and modern DevOps practices
• Experience establishing engineering standards, platform governance and operational excellence
• The ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on leadership and delivery
• Strong stakeholder management skills and the confidence to influence decisions at senior levels
• Experience managing vendors, suppliers and technology partners.

Bonus points if you have

• Experience with Dynamics 365, Power Platform and Dataverse
• Microsoft Azure, DevOps, D365 or Power Platform certifications
• ITIL certification
• Experience in highly regulated industries such as health, insurance, banking or financial services
• Exposure to architecture review boards, security governance or enterprise change management frameworks
