**Current state**:
One of the most visible and widespread enterprise FMCG businesses nationally is evolving. This 100% homegrown powerhouse is transforming themselves to further embrace a digital operating model and the productisation of their technology. In turn, they will put the customer at the heart of what they do in this new digital world, bring additional value to them and in turn evolve themselves.

**Why now**:
A change of executive and the multi-year strategy approved, this business is fully committed to the new horizon of augmenting themselves through embracing digital. Platforms and products initiatives are underway with capability building to fuel these initiatives happening in parallel. The existing team has some of the skills but new blood is sought to reframe perspectives and lead areas that are brand new. Here’s where you come in.

**Your role**:
Reporting directly into the Head of Platform and Operations, this role will be seen to develop, implement and manage the cloud and infrastructure strategies and roadmaps aligning with the business goals across digital transformation. Alongside this leading the DevSecOps engineering practices as the technology is modernised with core focus around;
**Cloud Practices**:

**Portfolio Governance**:

**Technology strategy**:
Develop and implement cloud strategies and roadmaps to meet business needs and goals

**Commercial & Financial Management**:
Manage cloud infrastructure budgets and contracts with vendors and service providers

**Your fit**:
Breathing all things cloud and infrastructure, you will be the expert in this space and able to leverage your previous enterprise experience of having established cloud centers of excellence, practices and executing the business strategy. Having managed, developed and formed teams you will have seen success in uplifting their capability and empower them to successfully support the delivery of large, complex projects.

This newly created role will draw on your knowledge of transformation work, with a lens on datacenter migration and understanding of how to navigate technical and legacy debt.

If you are looking for a career move which will provide equal measures challenge and growth and want to be part of the biggest digital transformation the South Island has seen, I look forward to hearing from you.
