Join the Aristocrat Interactive team as a Technical Delivery Manager and play a key role in delivering the next generation of our enterprise data platform. Collaborating with Engineering, Architecture, Product, and Business teams, you will lead complex technical and customer initiatives that support data-driven decision making across Aristocrat Interactive.
You will coordinate cross-functional delivery and lead all aspects of technical interdependencies. You will manage delivery risks and ensure projects meet deadlines, scope, and quality requirements. This role requires someone who is equally comfortable working with engineering teams on technical delivery as they are presenting progress and risks to senior leadership.
What You'll Do
- Lead the end-to-end delivery of complex technical initiatives across the Data Platform portfolio.
- Own project planning, execution, tracking, and delivery while ensuring alignment with business priorities.
- Build and maintain detailed delivery plans, achievements, RAID logs, and dependency maps across several engineering groups.
- Partner closely with Engineering Managers, Architects, Product Managers, and Data Engineering teams to coordinate successful execution.
- Facilitate Agile ceremonies including sprint planning, backlog refinement, daily stand-ups, retrospectives, and release planning.
- Manage cross-team dependencies and proactively identify delivery risks, blockers, and mitigation strategies.
- Translate business objectives into actionable technical workstreams alongside engineering and build groups.
- Coordinate releases across multiple teams, ensuring technical readiness and successful production deployments.
- Track project health through delivery metrics, achievements, and benchmarks, providing regular status reporting to leadership and steering committees.
- Drive continuous improvement of delivery processes, governance, estimation practices, and Agile ways of working.
- Support resource planning, capacity management, and prioritization across concurrent initiatives.
- Ensure delivery aligns with security, compliance, governance, and operational requirements.
- Develop collaboration across geographically distributed engineering teams while promoting accountability and delivery excellence.
What We're Looking For
- A demonstrated ability leading technical software delivery, engineering programs, or enterprise technology projects.
- Proven experience delivering complex, cross-functional technology initiatives involving multiple engineering teams.
- Strong understanding of modern software development lifecycles, Agile methodologies, and DevOps practices.
- Experience working closely with software engineering, cloud platforms, data engineering, and architecture teams.
- Ability to understand technical concepts and effectively communicate with both technical and non-technical collaborators.
- Demonstrated success managing technical dependencies, delivery risks, release planning, and collaborator expectations.
- Strong organizational and planning skills with experience managing multiple concurrent initiatives.
- Excellent communication, facilitation, and executive reporting skills.
- Experience with Agile delivery tools such as Jira, Azure DevOps, or similar.
- Familiarity with project management and collaboration tools including Smartsheet, Monday.com, Microsoft Project, and Microsoft Office Suite.
- Experience working in cloud-based environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and data platform initiatives is highly desirable.
- Experience within regulated industries or enterprises in SaaS environments is considered an advantage.
Preferred Experience
- Delivery of enterprise data platforms, analytics platforms, or data engineering solutions.
- Experience coordinating large-scale platform migrations or modernization initiatives.
- Understanding of CI/CD pipelines, release management, and software deployment practices.
- Knowledge of data governance, security, and compliance principles.
- Experience working within globally distributed engineering organizations.
