At ASB, we are dedicated to our purpose of accelerating financial progress for all New Zealanders. It's the 'why' behind everything we do. We are committed to supporting our customers, people and community as we continue to innovate, so more Kiwis can build the future they want.

**Your new role**
We have an opportunity for an experienced technologist to join our Development Chapter in a people leadership position as a Chapter Lead.

The Chapter Lead reports into a Domain Lead and collaborates with CXO's (Product Owners) and Platform Lead to keep drive strategic workforce planning and ensure chapter members are fit to deliver the current and future goals of the platform. Having a technical background, the Chapter Lead has a foot in both people and tech camps, meaning you still spend time in tech delivery activities for your squad (design, build and run), driving innovation, uplifting tech capability, setting the guardrails and driving innovation for the Chapter.
