Detail information about job Strategy & Design Manager. Terms and conditions vacancy

A bit about us.
We're exceptionally proud to be a home-grown success story.  17 years ago, we were your classic kiwi start-up that has now evolved into a successful global IT solutions business.  We foster a culture of authenticity and trust and have in the last 12-18 months metamorphosed to where we are today, which brings us to this role.
 
Tell me more!
It all starts with our purpose. Provoke exists to combine exceptional talent, design-thinking and team work to craft software that drives business change for our customers.  Long, hard hours have gone into realigning our organisational structure to ensure that we’re aligned to that, resulting in a newly formed Strategy & Design team that sits within our Delivery & Operations function.   
 
What will you do?
Managing a team of incredibly skilled and future focused UX Designers and Researchers, BA & Architect professionals, you’ll work with them and our customers to understand their aspirations and how the careful culmination of customer needs, business and technology can positively impact business change. Broken down a bit further that looks like:
  • Collaborating with other Senior Managers to identify areas of risk and ensure best practice, cohesion and excellence in the delivery of our services.
  • Operational and people leadership, unifying and growing new teams
  • Client engagement and input in the form of pre-sales activities, thought leadership and oversight
  • Working closely with the sales teams to represent and promote Provoke’s Unique Value Proposition
What experience will you need?
As well as having demonstrable experience in all of the above, you may have spent time as either an Architect, Consultant, UX Designer or Researcher or Business Analyst from within a professional services business. Whichever of these backgrounds you have, it’s imperative you understand how these areas come together to create solutions.
 
You’ll also have:
  • A customer and stakeholder engagement focus that’s second to none
  • Well-refined business acumen with the ability to drive conversations at an executive level.
  • The ability to apply critical and strategic thinking to solving problems
  • Delivered solutions to complex internal systems for customers in the past
  • The ability to challenge our thinking, bringing a fresh dynamic to Provoke
  • Exceptional written and verbal English, with the skills to prepare compelling pitches to customers
  • A genuine passion and desire to see your team grow and can help them get there.
  • A deep level of experience working within the software services environment
  • An open and honest approach, with integrity at the forefront of your moral code
  • A sense of humour and can laugh at yourself from time to time!
What's in it for you?
  • You’ll spend your days working with talented, zesty, energetic people
  • We care about each other and foster a culture of innovation, authenticity and trust.
  • We have some neat perks to look after your health and wellbeing, making life just that little bit easier.
Combine all that with strong ties to our Auckland and Seattle offices and you’ve landed yourself a very influential and business critical role.
