Job description

Our Why

Datacom works with organisations and communities across Australia and New Zealand to make a difference in people’s lives and help them to use the power of tech to innovate and grow.

About the Role

Datacom is seeking a technically skilled Applications Development Manager with strong ERP domain expertise who can lead high-performing distributed engineering teams to deliver secure, scalable, and reliable applications. This is a strategic leadership role that blends technical expertise with people management, innovation, and service excellence. You’ll be at the forefront of championing a modern SDLC with an AI-first mindset under clear guardrails – driving measurable improvements in quality, speed, and developer experience through responsible adoption of AI for code generation, reviews, testing, and documentation. You’ll be driving application development priorities, improving support delivery, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement and automation.

As the Applications Development Manager, you will oversee a talented team of developers and work closely with internal stakeholders to ensure our applications are robust, scalable, and aligned with business goals. You’ll also play a key role in incident management, automation initiatives, and health and safety leadership.

Key Responsibilities

As the Applications Development Manager, you will :

  • Lead as a coaching-first manager : grow capability, enable autonomous teams, and remove systemic blockers.
  • Uplift skills and foster a culture of continuous improvement, innovation, and sound engineering practices grounded in clear architectural patterns.
  • Transform the SDLC with an AI-first approach under defined guardrails and metrics (e.g., codegen, code reviews, testing, documentation).
  • Provide delivery leadership for application development streams, working in partnership with Product, Architecture, and Platform teams.
  • Be accountable for engineering quality, delivery health, and adherence to enterprise architecture standards and Datacom policies, including delivery timeframes.
  • You’re experienced in managing remote and hybrid teams across locations and time zones, using clear goals, asynchronous practices, and outcome-focused metrics to maintain flow, quality, and cohesion.
  • Enable best-practice processes and high-quality delivery outcomes across teams.
  • Promote a health and safety culture aligned with Datacom’s policies.

What you will bring :

  • A deep understanding of enterprise-grade applications, including advanced knowledge of programming and database design.
  • 10+ years of experience in software development, including 5+ years in IT leadership roles.
  • Proven experience in Agile and Scrum methodologies.
  • Experience working with sensitive and confidential information.
  • Advanced knowledge of programming languages and database design, including open-source technologies.
  • Exceptional communication skills with the ability to communicate and present technical concepts clearly and align solutions with business goals.
  • Strong analysis and problem-solving skills
  • Excellent interpersonal, stakeholder management, and effective influencing skills
  • Ability to build and lead collaborative teams to achieve strategic goals.
  • Proficiency in major programming languages such as Cobol, C++, Visual Basic, .NET, XML, ASP, SQL, and others.
  • Why Join Us Here at Datacom?

    Datacom is one of Australia and New Zealand’s largest suppliers of Information Technology professional services. We have managed to maintain a dynamic, agile, small business feel that is often diluted in larger organisations of our size. It's our people that give Datacom its unique culture and energy that you can feel from the moment you meet with us.

    We care about our people and provide a range of perks such as social events, chill-out spaces, remote working, flexi-hours and professional development courses to name a few. You’ll have the opportunity to learn, develop your career, connect and bring your true self to work. You will be recognised and valued for your contributions and be able to do your work in a collegial, flat-structured environment. We operate at the forefront of technology to help Australia and New Zealand’s largest enterprise organisations explore possibilities and solve their greatest challenges, so you will never run out of interesting new challenges and opportunities.

    We want Datacom to be an inclusive and welcoming workplace for everyone and take pride in the steps we have taken and continue to take to make our environment fun and friendly, and our people feel supported.
