**Mō tēnei tūranga mahi | About this role**

Reporting directly to the Tower Manager (NZTD), the Technical Practices Manager provides leadership and ownership of the continuous improvement of our technical delivery practices. You will collaborate with teams across the NZTD Tower / Customs / and other Government agencies, ensuring our team, product, platform and ways of working continue to support our customers and users as the product evolves.

Your role also encompasses the release process and environments management involved in the path to production to ensure that all environments are aligned to the product state and that all releases have met all quality standards before they can proceed.

The Technical Practices Manager is also a critical member of the Tower leadership team to make change and influence more effective delivery techniques and thinking. This includes enabling teams to plan and deliver smaller usable value earlier to passengers and users through modern and sustainable technical practices.

**To be successful as Technical Practices Manager the following knowledge, experience, skills and personal attributes are required**:

- Senior level and relevant experience in leading the future direction (development & operational support) of a live evolving product (ideally public facing), helping to translate product roadmaps into technical deliverables, helping to prioritise feature requests from stakeholders against technical enablers, and maintenance and support needs, and helping the teams make value driven decisions;

- Experience working within an Agile delivery framework, ideally SAFe as well as methodologies across devops, Lean, and product management;
