Senior Engineering Operations Manager

Employment Hero

Title: Senior Engineering Operations Manager – Remote Location: Sydney, New South Wales 2000, Australia Full-time Job Description: Role Type Within Australia • Permanent • Full-time • Mid-level Senior Description Who we are Employment Hero is on a mission to make employment easier and more valuable for everyone around the world. Our Employment Operating System brings hiring, HR, payroll and benefits into an all-in-one solution. Since launching in 2014, we’ve grown from startup to global scale, reaching a valuation of over $2 billion and building a presence across six countries, with even more growth ahead. We now serve over 350,000 SMEs, pay more than 3 million employees, and support a growing pool of job seekers finding their next role through our platform. The EH Way At Employment Hero, we’re proud of our unique DNA, which we call The EH Way. - We are Mission First – Our Mission determines what we work on, where we invest, and where we focus. Every decision runs through a single filter: does this accelerate our Mission? - We are Remote First – we champion a remote environment with a preference for asynchronous communication and a high degree of autonomy - We are AI First – we are committed to using AI to accelerate our mission; AI is not just a tool, it’s a fundamental part of how we operate, innovate, and scale - We Live by Our Values – we role model our values 100% of the time - We Expect High Performance – we set a high standard and we’re not satisfied with being average This role As we scale our engineering organisation globally, we are investing in the operational foundations that allow us to move faster, support our products better, and grow our teams with confidence. This is a newly created leadership role sitting at the heart of that investment. The Senior Engineering Operations Manager will own our global application support operating model — defining how we organise coverage across regions and timezones, how we build and maintain the right capabilities in the right places, and how we ensure our products are supported to the standards our customers expect. This is a role for someone who thrives at the intersection of engineering, operations, and people — equally comfortable designing a framework and rolling up their sleeves to implement it. You will work across our global engineering leadership, have direct access to the GM of Engineering, and leave a lasting mark on how a 450-person organisation operates. You will Design and own the operating model - Define and maintain our global application support operating model, including on-call structures, escalation paths, SLA tiers, and coverage standards across our product portfolio - Ensure the right engineering capability exists in the right regions to support our products — identifying where investment in knowledge transfer, upskilling, or hiring is needed - Build and manage relationships with regional engineering leaders to ensure the model is understood, owned, and continuously improved at the local level - Establish clear reporting on coverage health, on-call cost, and capability maturity across the organisation Lead capability development - Design and drive structured knowledge transfer programmes that build genuine application expertise within regional teams - Work with engineering managers to identify capability gaps and build time-bound plans to close them - Support the onboarding of newly acquired teams into our operating model, ensuring coverage continuity during transitions Own on-call and incident readiness - Define our on-call philosophy and ensure it is implemented consistently and compliantly across all regions - Work with People Operations and legal to establish on-call arrangements that are commercially sound and legally compliant in each region we operate - Configure and maintain our incident management and on-call tooling (FireHydrant and Signals), ensuring rosters, escalation paths, and alerting reflect the operating model - Partner closely with our Global Incident Manager on incident process and post-incident learning Drive continuous improvement - Use incident data and coverage reporting to identify patterns and proactively improve the model over time - Stay ahead of the business — as we launch new products and enter new markets, ensure the operating model scales with us - Contribute to infrastructure coverage design where application and platform support patterns overlap Who you are To thrive at Employment Hero, you’ll need to embody The EH Way – operating with focus, agility, and an obsession with impact. For this role, you’ll also bring - Proven experience designing and owning engineering operating models in a multi-timezone, multi-product environment - Strong understanding of on-call and incident management practices, with hands-on experience configuring tooling such as PagerDuty, FireHydrant, or similar - Track record of building capability uplift programmes that deliver measurable outcomes within defined timeframes - Experienced working across cultures and geographies — you will lead cross-regional work from day one - Commercially aware — able to model on-call costs, assess trade-offs, and present recommendations clearly to senior stakeholders - A natural influencer — able to drive alignment and outcomes across engineering leaders without direct line authority - High comfort with ambiguity and pace — this is a build role in a fast-moving environment - Equally effective as a strategic designer and a hands-on implementer These will also be advantageous - Production experience with web application stacks, particularly Ruby on Rails and/or .Net - Familiarity with AWS, particularly container-based architectures (ECS, EKS) - Experience integrating teams and operating models through business acquisitions - Working knowledge of employment law across multiple regions as it relates to on-call obligations - Background that spans both technical depth and operational or organisational design - Experience embedded in or working alongside an SRE or platform engineering function What we can offer At Employment Hero, we don’t just talk about a better way to work. We live it. Joining Employment Hero means you’ll: - Work in a remote-first environment, giving you the autonomy to do your best work while delivering meaningful outcomes. - Be trusted to own your work, make decisions, and have a real impact from day one. - Access cutting-edge AI tools and technology that help you move faster, think bigger, and amplify your expertise. - Surround yourself with ambitious, high-performing teammates who will challenge, support and inspire you to do the best work of your career. - Own ESOP (Employee Share Options) in one of the world’s fastest-growing technology companies, so you can share in the value you help create. - Enjoy a comprehensive benefits package, including generous parental leave, subsidised egg freezing, a home office allowance, and outstanding learning and development opportunities to support your growth. - Connect with colleagues from around the world at our Annual Global Gathering. We’ve celebrated together in Thailand, Vietnam, Bali and Dubai, and can’t wait to meet in the Gold Coast, Australia, in September 2026.

Role Description We're looking for an Engineering Delivery Manager to strengthen delivery predictability, quality, and visibility across our external engineering teams. This is a strategic, company-side engineering delivery role, not a traditional line-management role. You won't manage engineers directly. Instead, you'll work with lead-level stakeholders across several teams to understand how work is planned and delivered, surface risks and bottlenecks early, and drive measurable improvement. You'll work closely with external engineering and vendor leads, product managers, engineering and technical leads, QA, platform engineering, and business stakeholders. What You’ll Do - Build clear visibility into what each external team is working on, who owns what, and where delivery risk sits. - Ensure delivery plans are realistic, transparent, and tied to business priorities — and track progress against them. - Spot teams falling behind early, not after deadlines slip, and diagnose root causes (estimation, scope, capacity, ownership, quality, or dependencies). - Challenge weak plans, unrealistic estimates, unclear ownership, and superficial status reporting. - Validate that reported progress reflects real engineering output. - Improve planning and forecasting discipline, moving teams from optimistic plans to evidence-based delivery. - Work with QA and engineering leads to make quality visible as part of delivery — tracking escaped bugs, rework, and release readiness, and supporting consistent Definition of Ready / Definition of Done and quality gates. - Track cross-team dependencies, ensure blockers are owned and resolved, and run clear, fact-based escalation paths. - Build a clear understanding of each external team’s composition, role coverage, seniority mix, ownership areas, and capability gaps. - Identify where delivery or quality issues are caused by team setup, missing ownership, skill gaps, low allocation, weak technical leadership, or unclear requirements. - Ensure external teams follow agreed company delivery rules, documentation expectations, engineering standards, quality gates, and reporting practices. - Build vendor/team delivery scorecards covering predictability, quality, responsiveness, planning accuracy, delivery reliability, and escalation patterns. - Create fact-based escalation paths when external teams repeatedly miss commitments, provide weak delivery evidence, or fall below agreed quality expectations. - Communicate delivery status, risks, and trade-offs clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, translating delivery issues into business impact. Qualifications - 7+ years in software delivery, technical/engineering delivery management, technical program management, or engineering leadership. - Proven experience managing delivery across multiple external teams, vendors, or distributed partners. - Experience overseeing delivery across engineering teams, vendors, or delivery groups of roughly 20–35 people. - Exposure to a few different business models or product environments (rather than narrow specialisation) is a strong plus. - Strong grasp of software development lifecycles, agile delivery, estimation, release planning, QA workflows, and engineering team dynamics. - Ability to build delivery reporting and analysis, and to read teams accurately — including spotting gaps hidden behind tidy reporting. - Strong delivery metrics fluency: planned vs. actual, cycle time, throughput, escaped bugs, rework, blocked work, and predictability. - Risk and dependency management. - Excellent communication with both technical and non-technical audiences. - Hands-on with delivery and engineering tools such as Jira, GitHub, Confluence, Linear, or Azure DevOps. Nice to Have - Experience in multi-product SaaS environments and companies dependent on external engineering partners. - Experience building vendor scorecards or delivery performance frameworks. - Experience introducing the Definition of Ready/Done, release checklists, or quality gates. Benefits - Remote-first — work from anywhere in the world, no relocation required. - Flexible hours — we measure outcomes, not time at a desk. - Unlimited PTO — take the time you need to rest, recharge, and do your best work. - Learning & development budget — courses, books, conferences, certifications, whatever helps you grow. - Performance-based compensation — your impact directly shapes your pay and career trajectory. - A small, senior, collaborative team where your work is visible and your decisions matter. - The chance to build products used by millions of people across 160+ countries. Equal Opportunity Progress Partners is an equal opportunity employer, and we’re serious about building a diverse, inclusive team. We welcome applications from people of all genders, gender identities and expressions, sexual orientations, ages, ethnicities, nationalities, religions, disabilities, neurotypes, family situations, socioeconomic backgrounds, and life experiences. We hire on skills, experience, potential, and values fit — never on protected characteristics. If you need accommodations during the application or interview process, just let us know.
