Business Technology Manager

Business Technology Manager

Up to $165k + 13% Super + 12.5% Target Bonus | Rowville | Hybrid (2 Days)

Love technology, but love solving real business problems even more?

We're partnering with a well-established global FMCG business looking for a hands-on Business Technology Manager to take ownership of their local technology function.

This isn't a role for someone who wants to sit in meetings all day, manage a spreadsheet of projects and leave the technical stuff to everyone else.

We're looking for someone who enjoys getting stuck in. Someone who can sit down with the Finance team to understand a problem, work through a system integration with a vendor, improve a business process and still have time to support their team.

You'll have the backing of a global technology function, the autonomy to make a genuine impact locally and the opportunity to continue developing your leadership career.

And yes, there's plenty of free tea. ☕ (Not that we're giving anything away...)

What's the gig?

You'll be the go-to technology person for the Australian business, leading a small team of two while working closely with stakeholders across Finance, Operations, Supply Chain and the wider business.

You'll also collaborate with a larger regional technology team, helping connect local business needs with global technology initiatives.

Day to day, you'll be:

• Getting hands-on: Working through business requirements, investigating system issues, supporting integrations and helping deliver practical technical solutions.
• Making technology work better: Identifying opportunities to improve processes, automate manual tasks and make life easier for the business.
• Owning business applications: Supporting and improving ERP systems, reporting platforms, databases and integrations, including an upcoming Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central upgrade.
• Delivering projects: Taking ownership of technology initiatives from initial conversations and requirements through to implementation, testing and adoption.
• Partnering with the business: Building strong relationships with stakeholders and translating business challenges into sensible technology solutions.
• Leading your people: Supporting, mentoring and developing a small local team while remaining actively involved in delivery.
• Keeping things running: Working with internal teams and external vendors to ensure systems are reliable, issues get resolved and technology supports business operations.

What are we looking for?

We're not looking for someone who's managed the biggest transformation programme in Australia.

We're looking for someone who's actually done the work and is ready to take on more responsibility.

Ideally, you'll bring:

• Around 8–10 years' experience across IT, business applications, systems delivery or technology consulting. We're flexible on this.
• Strong technical foundations across Microsoft SQL, databases, system integrations, reporting and analytics.
• Experience with Power BI, ERP platforms and Microsoft technologies. Dynamics 365 Business Central would be a bonus.
• Demonstrated experience personally delivering system implementations, integrations, automation or business process improvements.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to build genuine relationships with non-technical stakeholders.
• Some leadership experience, whether that's managing a small team, mentoring colleagues or leading technical delivery.
• A proactive mindset. You spot problems, suggest improvements and don't wait around for someone to tell you what to do.

A background in technology consulting would be highly regarded, particularly if you're now looking to move into a business where you can own the outcomes of your work.

Experience in FMCG, manufacturing, retail, wholesale or distribution would also be useful, but isn't essential.

Most importantly, you need to enjoy being hands-on.

If you're currently a Senior Technology Consultant, Business Applications Lead, Technical Business Analyst or hands-on IT Manager looking for that next step, we'd love to hear from you.

What's in it for you?

• Up to $165k base + 13% super + 12.5% on-target bonus
• Hybrid working: Just two days per week in the Rowville office, with onsite parking.
• Global exposure: Work with technology teams and stakeholders across multiple countries.
• Genuine ownership: Be the key technology partner for the Australian business.
• Career development: A brilliant opportunity to build your leadership experience without stepping away from technical delivery.
• Interesting projects: Business Central improvements, integrations, automation, reporting and broader technology initiatives.
• Great benefits: Additional leave and wellbeing initiatives, employee discounts and other benefits.
• A supportive, down-to-earth culture within an established global organisation.

And occasionally, you'll need to jump on calls outside standard Australian business hours to collaborate with global colleagues. Flexibility goes both ways.

If you're a technically capable problem-solver who enjoys working with people, improving systems and making a genuine difference to a business, we'd love to have a chat.

Good people. Good opportunities. No recruitment nonsense.
