This role is ideal for someone with a strong background in payments and experience in the finance sector. You’ll be actively involved in planning, stakeholder engagement and delivery, with much of the solution to be built on Google Cloud Platform. You won’t just be setting direction – you’ll be on the tools, contributing directly to the work and helping the team succeed through both technical expertise and people leadership.

Role Type: Permanent 

Hours: 37.5 hours per week (Standard)

Ōu Pūkenga? - What will you bring?

To thrive and excel in this role, you should ideally possess the following:
