Job Description

With $125+ million in funding and double this number in revenue, this unique business is set to be one of Australia’s next Unicorns.

As Head of Technology you will manage a team of ~circa 30 engineers (software and data) and a small operations team while building the technology backbone of a business on the path to IPO.

This is an opportunity to step into a high-growth, product-led consumer business at a defining moment and shape the platform, team, and strategy that takes it through its next phase of scale.

What’s in it for you

  • Own the full technology function - engineering, data, IT, and operational tech
  • Play a key role in scaling the business toward international growth and IPO readiness
  • Operate at true executive level across Product, Operations, and Commercial
  • Build and evolve a high-performing team
  • Solve complex, real-world problems across product, supply chain, and customer experience

What you’ll be doing - initially

A major replatforming program is nearing completion. The foundations are there - now the business needs the right leader to:

  • Land the migration properly
  • Stabilise and optimise the tech stack
  • Then evolve the platform for scale

This is a critical transition phase, not a rebuild and not BAU.

What you’ll be doing - in the future

  • Leading across engineering, data, IT, and systems - as one function, not silos
  • Operating at ELT level - your first team is the leadership team
  • Translating business strategy into technology outcomes
  • Scaling systems and teams for increasing complexity
  • Driving disciplined delivery through the final stages of migration
  • Introducing automation and AI capabilities across the business

What will make you successful

  • You’ve scaled technology through real growth and complexity
  • You operate as a true executive, not just a functional leader
  • You think commercially, not just technically
  • You’re curious about the whole business - not just engineering
  • You’ve stayed and built through multiple phases, not moved on quickly

This is a rare opportunity to step into a business with real momentum and help shape what it becomes over the next decade.
