Closing date: Tuesday 7 June 2026

We’ve never been ‘just a bank’. Just like you should never be ‘just an employee’. We’re united in our belief that in banking, better can be bigger, and together we’re making it happen.

It starts here. With Bendigo Bank… and you.

About the opportunity

The technology space is evolving, and so are we. At Bendigo Bank we are simplifying our technology function, creating clearer accountabilities aligned with our strategy and customer needs. With a focus on delivering innovative services at scale, we’re creating a future-ready customer experience and high performing culture.

An Engineering Manager opportunity has emerged, available within our Core Banking Support Services division, focusing on Collateral & Document Management.

In this role, your primary focus will be on creating the optimal conditions for safe, fast, and sustainable shipping, ensuring that your teams can consistently deliver secure, scalable, and maintainable outcomes for our customers. You will play a crucial role in shaping our ways-of-working, setting a high bar for delivery and operations including security, reliability, automation and working with teams across multiple time zones.

In this role you’ll get to

• Provide leadership and direction to engineering squads, driving outcomes and ensuring alignment with our strategic objectives. 
• Ensure the delivery of scalable, secure, and reliable technical solutions while maintaining system health through proactive risk management. 
• Uplift software engineering practices, embedding quality early through test automation, peer review, and clean code principles. 
• Monitor and improve delivery performance utilising DORA and related metrics, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and root cause analysis. 
• Facilitate career development and build a high-performing team. 
• Drive cross-squad collaboration and an inclusive team culture, managing delivery flow and removing team-level blockers. 
• Act as the primary conduit for stakeholders, managing expectations and ensuring all delivery strictly aligns with regulatory, risk, security, and compliance standards. 

What you’ll bring to the role

To be successful in the role you will have: 

• A deep understanding of modern software engineering practices across the full lifecycle, with technical depth in relevant languages, architectures, and cloud-native patterns. 
• The proven ability to lead, motivate, and grow technical teams, promoting and engineering culture that ships high-quality software in agile, iterative environments. 

• Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to work effectively across both technical and business domains. 
• Experience in document management and records management systems, including architectural best practices.
• Demonstrated ability to lead and drive an engineering culture with hybrid teams.
• Experience working with multiple external suppliers.

This is a permanent, full-time opportunity, located at our Melbourne or Bendigo Head Office locations.

We offer flexible work options that put our people first, working in a hybrid model with a minimum local Head Office attendance requirement determined by your Leader, to find a rhythm that works best for you and your team. We believe that coming into the office some of the time is the best way to learn, stay connected and collaborate effectively, especially for key activities like team days, 1:1s, and town halls.

We believe a diverse workforce supported by an inclusive culture is central to our success and we actively encourage applications from those who bring diversity of thought to our business. We support candidate requests for adjustment to accommodate an illness, injury, or disability to equitably participate in the selection process.

If you're already part of Bendigo Bank (including Community Banks), you'll need to apply through People Hub to submit a valid application. We’re keen to support you with the next step in your career.

Still in two minds?

Research suggests 60% of women and underrepresented groups might stop here, even after getting as far as drafting an application. We believe that diversity makes every team stronger, so even if you don’t tick every box we still want to see your application!

Please note shortlisting and interviews may take place prior to the advertised close date, so don't delay apply now!
