Delivery Manager

Challenger Limited is an ASX-listed investment management firm managing $128.2 billion in assets (as at 31 December 2025). Life with us is fast moving and always exciting. Together we’re driving to deliver our vision to provide our customers with financial security for a better retirement.

We achieve this goal by providing a work environment where people from diverse backgrounds, with a range of skills and experiences can contribute and succeed.

• Delivery Manager
• Integrated Delivery
• Technology Portfolio
• Sydney CBD | Hybrid (3 days in office, 2 from home)
• Challenger's technology portfolio spans Digital, Data, Registry, CRM, Corporate and Security - multiple teams, multiple roadmaps, and a lot of moving parts.

We're looking for a Delivery Manager to be the connective tissue across it all: the person who spots the dependency before it becomes a blocker, keeps Product Owners aligned, and gives a clear, honest picture of how delivery is tracking. This role exists to own the integrated delivery approach.

This isn't a role running a single backlog or team — it's about seeing across the portfolio and making sure the pieces fit together.

What You'll Be Doing

• Getting across every programme in the portfolio and actively managing the interdependencies between them
• Partnering with Product Owners to bring a consistent, joined-up approach to how we plan and deliver
• Owning reporting on the integrated plan — a consolidated view of delivery progress across the portfolio
• Running governance and planning forums that give clear visibility into progress, risk and delivery health
• Coordinating issue resolution across Product Owners, Architecture, Engineering and vendors
• Working with outsourced/vendor delivery partners as part of the broader delivery ecosystem

What You'll Bring

• Experience managing delivery across a portfolio of initiatives, not just within a single product or domain
• Exposure to Product Owner or Scrum Master ways of working, so you understand what you're coordinating across
• Financial services experience
• A track record spanning multiple tech domains or an integrated delivery stack (e.g. CRM, Digital, Data)
• Some experience working in an outsourced or vendor-delivery environment is a strong plus
• Why Challenger?
