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.

This is an opportunity to influence the architecture behind digital experiences used by customers and internal teams. You’ll work across mobile and web applications, APIs, cloud services and enterprise integrations, helping connect the wider digital ecosystem.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll take ownership of solution architecture across key digital platforms, supporting teams to make sound technology decisions from early discovery through to delivery.

• Designing scalable APIs and integration patterns

• Connecting modern applications with complex core and legacy systems

• Five or more years of experience in solution architecture or a comparable senior technical role

• Strong experience designing customer-facing digital platforms

• A solid understanding of microservices and modern integration patterns

• Knowledge of security, privacy, accessibility, performance and resilience

• A strong understanding of software engineering and delivery practices

• Experience working alongside Agile product and engineering teams

You don’t need to have every answer on day one. What matters is your ability to navigate complexity, ask the right questions and bring people together around solutions that can genuinely be delivered.

About you

You’re pragmatic, curious and comfortable working beyond the diagrams.

You can move between strategic architecture conversations and detailed technical discussions without losing sight of the customer outcome. You enjoy collaborating with engineers and product teams, explain complex ideas clearly, and know when to challenge, influence or find a practical way forward.

Most importantly, you’ll be motivated by the opportunity to shape connected digital experiences within an environment where your decisions and contribution will be visible.

The opportunity

You will take ownership of complex security incidents from initial investigation through containment, remediation and review.

• Use SIEM and EDR/XDR platforms to investigate and respond to threats
• Support the development and improvement of SOAR processes and playbooks
• Mentor analysts and promote effective knowledge sharing
• Contribute to detection engineering and broader SOC capability uplift
• Communicate incident impact, risk and recommended actions to technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Identify opportunities to improve operational processes and response effectiveness

What you will bring

• At least five years of dedicated Security Operations Centre experience
• Previous senior, lead or technical escalation responsibilities
• Advanced experience with SIEM platforms such as Microsoft Sentinel or Splunk
• Strong knowledge of EDR/XDR technologies such as Microsoft Defender
• Demonstrated ownership of complex security incident response
• Practical threat-hunting experience
• Strong understanding of network analysis and intrusion detection
• Experience working with SOAR technologies and security playbooks
• The ability to remain calm and make pragmatic decisions under pressure
• Clear communication skills across technical and business audiences
• A genuine interest in mentoring others and sharing knowledge

Experience improving SOC processes, detection capability, playbooks or team maturity would be particularly valuable.

What is on offer

• Hybrid working with two days per week in the Auckland CBD office
• No on-call requirement
• Southern Cross UltraCare 400 health insurance
• Life, trauma, income protection and permanent disability insurance
• Employer KiwiSaver contribution grossed up so eligible employees receive the full 3%
• Monthly fitness reimbursement of up to $100
• Additional wellbeing initiatives and employee benefits
• A supportive culture with flexible working arrangements
• Genuine influence over SOC processes and capability development

Earlier-career SOC opportunities

We are also interested in hearing from developing SOC Analysts with approximately one to three years of relevant, hands-on Security Operations and incident-response experience. If you are earlier in your SOC career but have practical SIEM and security investigation experience, we encourage you to apply.

Apply now

If you are an experienced SOC professional who wants to remain technically hands-on while leading incidents, mentoring others and improving operational capability, we would like to hear from you.
