Senior Engineering Manager
This is a role with genuine organisational scope, where you will shape how engineering teams are structured, how people grow, and how the function operates as the company moves from startup to multi-vertical platform. If you want to own something meaningful, influence how a healthcare company is built, and develop the kind of team that others want to be part of, this role offers that in full.
- Lead delivery across multiple engineering teams, managing cross-team dependencies, identifying risks before they surface as problems, and giving leadership honest, reliable forecasts of what will ship and when.
- Engage directly in technical decisions at the architecture and trade-off level, working with senior and staff engineers to assess approaches, pressure-test estimates, and ensure the right calls are being made even when you are not the one writing the code.
- Develop senior engineers toward staff-level contribution and, where you are managing other managers, coach them on the practices and judgement that make people leadership effective over time.
- Run structured performance conversations backed by clear evidence, manage performance issues professionally when they arise, and build a team environment where strong engineers choose to stay and grow.
- Build and maintain a hiring pipeline for your teams, identify capability gaps before they become blockers, and design team structures that reflect the actual shape of the work rather than just available headcount.
- Work alongside product and business stakeholders to shape roadmap and priority decisions, bringing a clear engineering perspective on feasibility, technical risk, and what investment decisions will cost or enable.
- Create visibility into your teams' work without requiring leadership to chase for updates, and surface and resolve cross-functional tensions before they slow down delivery.
- 4+ years experience leading multiple engineering teams, including managing Engineering Managers in a scaling environment.
- Strong technical grounding with the ability to contribute to architecture and system design decisions.
- Track record of delivering complex, cross-team initiatives with clear ownership of outcomes.
- Experience developing and building high-performing teams.
- Solid judgement in prioritisation, risk management, and balancing short- and long-term trade-offs.
- Ability to work effectively with product and business stakeholders to drive aligned decisions.
- Clear, concise communicator who creates alignment and visibility across teams.
- Comfortable operating in fast-moving, ambiguous environments. Previous experience in a highly regulated industry is preferred.
- Work From Anywhere in Australia.
- A competitive salary and awesome benefits package.
- A supportive and positive work environment.
- Opportunities to grow and develop your career.
- Opportunity to transform lives through alternative medicine.
