VP of Engineering

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 VP of Engineering/Head of Technology you will manage a team of ~circa 30 engineers (software and data) and a small IT 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 - software 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.
