# Technical Delivery Manager

> First Focus · Mascot, Australia (Hybrid) · Full-time · Posted 2026-03-27

**Salary:** AUD 150,000–170,000

**Workplace:** hybrid

**Department:** Technology

## Description

### Let’s be honest for a second…

You’ve probably seen a few “Delivery Manager” roles that quietly expect you to still be the smartest technical person in the room.

This isn’t one of those.

This is a **people-first delivery leadership role**, where your success comes from building and steering a high-performing team across **development, SharePoint, and AI**, aligning delivery with the business, and making sure work lands the way it’s meant to (without relying on late-night heroics).

You’ll still understand the tech, but your real job is getting the best out of people, creating clarity, and keeping delivery moving forward when things inevitably get messy.

### About First Focus

First Focus is Australia’s leading mid-market MSP, with over 15 years of consistent growth and a team of 360+ legends across Australia, New Zealand, and the Philippines.

We’re known for doing things a little differently, less red tape, more trust; less politics, more progress. People here are informed, aligned, supported, and actually rewarded for doing great work.

We take our values seriously, especially **Win Together**, because delivery only works when everyone’s pulling in the same direction. You’ll see what we mean pretty quickly: [https://www.firstfocus.com.au/about-us/](https://www.firstfocus.com.au/about-us/)

### Why this role is worth your time

-   You’ll lead a **multidisciplinary team** (dev, SharePoint, AI), with a clear focus on performance, growth, and accountability
-   You’ll have real influence over **how delivery is done**, not just tracked
-   You’ll help shape **AI initiatives that actually get used**, not just talked about
-   You’ll work closely with PMs and consultants to create alignment, not friction
-   You’ll build a team culture where people know what good looks like, and actually hit it
-   You’ll still stay close to the work, but you won’t be expected to be the deepest technical expert in the room
-   You’ll lead a team that's big enough to matter, small enough to know everyone’s name

### What you’ll be doing

-   Leading, mentoring, and developing a team of developers, SharePoint engineers, and AI specialists
-   Creating clarity around priorities, expectations, and what “good delivery” actually looks like
-   Running regular 1:1s, performance reviews, and career planning (yes, the meaningful kind)
-   Partnering with Project Managers, Consultants, and the PMO to keep delivery on track
-   Translating high-level requirements into clear, actionable work for your team
-   Managing capacity, resourcing, and priorities across multiple workstreams
-   Identifying risks early and removing blockers before they become “urgent”
-   Ensuring consistent delivery standards, documentation, and quality across outputs
-   Supporting the translation of requirements into actionable work, without needing to do the work yourself
-   Driving practical AI outcomes that integrate into real-world service delivery

## Requirements

### What you’ll bring

-   5+ years’ experience leading technical teams in a delivery-focused environment
-   Proven experience managing multidisciplinary teams (dev, platform, or similar)
-   Strong operational and delivery management capability
-   Experience working alongside PMs, consultants, and structured PMO environments
-   Excellent communication skills, you can translate between tech, business, and humans
-   A calm, pragmatic approach to problem solving (no drama, just solutions)

**Nice to have:**

-   MSP or services-based environment experience
-   Familiarity with Microsoft 365 or SharePoint ecosystems
-   Exposure to AI, automation, or workflow platforms
-   Understanding of modern development and delivery practices (without needing to be hands-on)

### What success looks like

-   A high-performing, engaged team that knows what’s expected and delivers consistently
-   Projects delivered on time, to scope, without last-minute heroics
-   Strong collaboration between consultants, PMs, and technical teams
-   A team that’s engaged, accountable, and actually enjoys working together
-   Clear visibility across delivery, risks, and capacity
-   AI and platform initiatives that deliver practical value, not just good intentions

## Benefits

-   Competitive salary package including **$170,000 + other benefits**

-   Free access to Uprise, including 1:1 coaching with psychologists or counsellors
-   Flexible working for real work-life balance
