Wellington City, New Zealand Totara Learning Solutions Full time

Totara is an innovative, fast-growing technology leader in the learning and development space, and provider of learning development and HR solutions for 1500 customers across a variety of sectors in over 150 countries. At Totara you will find an army of talented, motivated, and ambitious people. Our team of 120 people across 3 offices in the UK, US and NZ has been growing steadily over several years and we are now looking to expand the business further. As a community that looks after each other, we value diversity, collaboration, and personal development.

As an Engineering Manager (EM) at Totara, you'll work as part of the Engineering Management team to nurture an environment where engineers are thriving, and delivery teams are supported to deliver on Totara's business goals.

**Work as part of the Engineering Management team**

The EMs, Agile Practice Lead and Head of Engineering form a team who meet and collaborate regularly. We build and action initiatives to continually improve Totara's engineering practice, with the aim of removing friction for increased delivery flow. This could be uplifting recruiting, quality or maintenance practices, measuring success - and much more As a team, we encourage collaboration, information sharing, experimentation and reflection, and we're all exemplars of the culture we want to see.

The team is currently based in Wellington; we'd welcome a colleague from another New Zealand location to support refinement in our distributed working practices.

**Engineers are thriving**

As EMs, we are people leaders who believe in building rapport through regular coaching 1:1s, scaffolded by clear expectations of the behavioural and technical competencies of each role.

Our engineers use technologies including PHP, JavaScript, PostgreSQL, and AWS to build an open-core product distributed via a global partner network. You will support them by celebrating success, leaning in with constructive feedback, and matching up those wanting to grow with the opportunities, people, and help they need.

**Delivery teams are supported to deliver on Totara's business goals**

EMs join other cross-functional leaders wrapped around each delivery team. Together, we ensure teams can connect their work to business goals, practices are continuously improving, blockers are removed, and appropriate expertise is accessible. Additionally, we ensure teams are staffed appropriately by matching capabilities required with growing or hiring engineers. Last, but certainly not least, we support teams to connect well interpersonally while delivering a quality software product to our partners.

**What you'll bring**:

- Proven experience coaching engineers; growing potential as well as addressing performance challenges
- Expertise with Agile methodologies, including supporting engineers to run team ceremonies
- Years of experience working as an individual contributor in software delivery teams - likely as an engineer, quality engineer or technical product manager
- A highly collaborative approach, willing to double down on your current expertise and also lean into growth areas - whatever is needed to to move the needle for the EM team as a whole
- Experience in forming recruitment and onboarding processes, and interviewing engineers
- A proactive approach to building a positive and inclusive working culture

**What We Offer**

Joining our team means joining the pursuit to create effective and engaging learning workplaces for all. We're growing and are looking for people who are excited about making an impact on the global stage and are passionate about working in the software product industry.

Working at Totara, you'll have:

- An inspiring and productive multicultural work environment with high autonomy and flat hierarchies.
- A collegiate and creative team who are passionate about solving our customers' most important problems.
- Attractive salary, commitment to your professional development and flexible working.
- Strong support from a highly-skilled, well-connected and experienced international team.
