Talent International has partnered with a major Australian organisation operating within a highly regulated, customer-focused environment.

As the organisation continues to strengthen its approach to premium customer engagement, they are creating a key leadership position to improve how sensitive customer and compliance requirements are managed. This is a highly visible role with strong executive sponsorship and genuine opportunity to shape a growing function.

The role

As Senior Manager – Customer Engagement, you will take ownership of the engagement strategy for a portfolio of premium customers who require additional information or documentation before their relationship with the organisation can be reactivated.

This is not a traditional compliance or back-office leadership position. You will be highly customer-facing, personally building relationships with sophisticated customers and helping them navigate requirements relating to source of wealth, AMLAML and other regulatory obligations.

You will lead an initial team of two Analysts while remaining hands-on yourself. As a newly established function, there is significant scope to influence the strategy, establish best practice and make the role your own as the team grows.

Key responsibilities

• Own and develop the customer engagement strategy for premium and high-value customers.
• Personally engage with customers via phone, email and face-to-face meetings to obtain required information and documentation.
• Build trust and explain complex or sensitive regulatory requirements in a clear, confident and customer-friendly way.
• Manage challenging conversations and objections while maintaining strong customer relationships.
• Lead, support and develop a small team of Analysts, while remaining actively involved in customer engagement.
• Act as a senior escalation point for complex customer matters and work closely with Premium Risk, AMLAML and Financial Crime teams.
• Oversee customer reactivation activity, ensuring cases progress effectively from initial engagement through to completion.
• Provide reporting and insights on engagement activity, outcomes and emerging issues.
• Help establish processes, standards and ways of working for a newly created and growing function.

Skills and experience

We are looking for someone who combines exceptional relationship management skills with experience working in a regulated environment.

You will ideally bring:

• Strong customer-facing, relationship management, guest relations or premium client experience.
• Previous experience within a regulated industry such as banking, financial services, gaming, wagering or another highly regulated customer environment.
• Exposure to AMLAML, financial crime, KYCKYC, source of wealth or similar compliance requirements.
• Confidence engaging with high-value customers on sensitive matters.
• The ability to simplify complex requirements, influence reluctant customers and navigate difficult conversations with professionalism and tact.
• A proactive, hands-on approach – this role requires someone who will personally engage customers rather than simply manage escalations.
• Strong commercial judgement, communication skills and the ability to work closely with compliance and risk specialists.

Previous people management experience is not essential. This could suit an experienced relationship manager, customer engagement professional or financial crime specialist ready to step into broader leadership responsibility.

Benefits and additional information

• Permanent opportunity with a salary of $160K-$170K + bonus, with flexibility for an exceptional candidate.
• Newly created role with genuine ownership of the customer engagement strategy.
• High-profile position with strong executive sponsorship and visibility.
• Opportunity to build and grow a function currently consisting of two Analysts.
• Work with premium customers across Australia and internationally.
• Genuine scope to influence how the role and broader function evolve.
• Some flexibility outside standard hours will be required to accommodate premium customers, including occasional weekend engagement.

Talent International is partnering with a leading technology organisation to bring on a Senior OpenShift Platform Engineer for a major enterprise platform engagement.

You won’t simply be maintaining an existing OpenShift environment. You’ll help automate and evolve a Container-as-a-Service platform, working across Red Hat OpenShift, Kubernetes, Ansible, Argo CD, ZTP, ACM and advanced networking.

A key focus will be onboarding platform and cloud-native network functions (CNFs), while building the automation and standardisation needed to operate the environment effectively at scale.

What you’ll be working on

• Designing, building and automating Red Hat OpenShift platform components.
• Developing automated, repeatable platform deployments using Ansible and Infrastructure as Code principles.
• Building and implementing GitOps workflows using Argo CD.

• Supporting production and test environments, including troubleshooting, incident resolution, lifecycle management and patching.
• Helping establish standards, documentation and automation that make the platform easier to operate and scale.
• Sharing technical knowledge with internal engineering and operations teams.

What we’re looking for

You’ll be a senior, hands-on platform engineer who is comfortable owning problems across OpenShift rather than operating within a narrowly defined support function.

You’ll ideally bring:

• Strong hands-on Red Hat OpenShift 4.x experience.
• Strong Kubernetes platform engineering experience at enterprise scale.
• Proven GitOps / Argo CD implementation experience.
• Strong Ansible / Ansible Automation Platform capability.
• Experience applying Infrastructure as Code and automation principles.
• Hands-on experience with Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP).
• Experience with Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (ACM) and multi-cluster environments.
• Deep OpenShift/Kubernetes networking knowledge, including OVN-Kubernetes, MetalLB, BGP, Multus and SR-IOV.
• Strong Linux and Linux networking fundamentals.
• Familiarity with technologies such as OpenShift Platform Plus, Quay and OpenShift Data Foundation (ODF).

Even better if you have

Experience in telecommunications or with cloud-native network functions (CNFs) would be particularly valuable.

We’re also interested in experience across:

• Air-gapped or disconnected OpenShift environments.
• Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security (ACS).
• BGP, ACI, EVPN or broader data centre networking.
• NUMA, DPDK and performance tuning.
• Prometheus, Grafana and Alertmanager.
• Storage, backup and supporting infrastructure technologies.

The details

This is an initial 100-day / approximately 3-month contract, with strong potential for extension.

You’ll be embedded within the customer environment in Macquarie Park, Sydney, working full-time onsite alongside the teams you’re supporting. There is currently no work-from-home component.

A September start is preferred.
