Our values aren’t just words: Respect and Care for People Act with Integrity Earn and Nurture Trust You’ll work with sharp, passionate people who take ownership, raise the bar, and genuinely enjoy what they do. Whether you’re in Auckland, Wellington, or Christchurch, you’ll be part of a team that invests in your growth and makes space for you to shine. The Role This is a senior engineering leadership role for someone who has genuinely done the hard yards - hands-on in the code, leading teams through complexity, and navigating the complex dynamics and pace of mid-to-large enterprise environments. In this role, we'll partner together to define ClearPoint's AI engineering practice and ensure we're delivering tangible value for our clients. Reporting to the Chief Practice Officer, you’ll unite technical leadership and people management to drive success across our client delivery.

People Leadership & Performance Management: Line managing a team of engineers with real accountability - hiring, developing, and where necessary, having the hard conversations.

From microservices to cloud-native patterns in AWS, Azure, or GCP, you’ve spent years in the trenches and can speak the language of engineering because you’ve actually built the software. Engineering team leadership experience: You've led software engineering teams in medium-to-large corporate environments - you understand how to operate inside complexity, build high-performing teams, navigate stakeholder dynamics, and get quality software shipped. Hands-on performance and line management: You've owned the full people management lifecycle - setting expectations, coaching, performance reviews, and when needed, managing people out. You're comfortable with the accountability that comes with line management. Professional services or consulting background: You understand what it means to work in a client-facing, billable environment - managing margins, scoping work, building trust with clients, and d
