Delivery Manager

**About Us**

Why? As a society, we need to decarbonise and accelerate the transition to alternative energy sources. Existing solutions are expensive and disparate, with limited functionality.

Basis is driven by purpose, real innovation, and ambition. We have a talented team spread across New Zealand, with a creative space by the beach in Takapuna and a Design Lab in Christchurch where our physical products come to life.

Our team is smart, curious, and has some big goals - so if you’re interested in joining a fast-growing startup that is design-led and puts people at its core, then we’d love to hear from you

**The Role**

We're looking to bolster our Delivery Team with a Delivery Manager (fixed term). As a Delivery Manager, you will be the driving energy behind the planning, coordination, and successful execution of projects within and across your squads. Leveraging your technical proficiency and leadership skills, you will guide your squads in achieving milestones and delivering the right solutions on time and within budget.

Some of the things that you might be involved in include:

- In collaboration with the Product Managers and Tech Leads, drive the app & platform squads to deliver the roadmap on time and on cost.
- In collaboration with Sales and Marketing teams, deliver our product into Australia in 2025.
- Advocate for agile methodologies within your squads. Be involved in and guide ceremonies where necessary.
- Oversee Jira hygiene by ensuring all work is captured and timeframes are planned. Create a plan with the team to manage the backlog and assist with the prioritisation of work.
- Proactively communicate blocks, risks, and updates with the relevant stakeholders.
- Update and/or generate any changes to project or development processes, following change management best practices to ensure changes are adopted.

Please note: this is a fixed-term role from July until December 2025.
