Senior Manager of Delivery, Australia

About Us

Acusensus pioneers intelligent road safety enforcement solutions that change behaviour and save lives.

Our advanced AI and hardware technology is deployed as fixed-location, trailer-based, and vehicle-based enforcement solutions across Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand, giving governments the tools to detect and deter risky driver behaviour at. Our flagship solution, Heads-Up, captures prosecutable evidence of illegal mobile phone use, seatbelt non-compliance, and speeding, and has already contributed to a six-fold reduction in phone use on NSW roads.

Founded in 2018, we have global ambitions and a team that cares about our the mission, changing behavious, saving lives.

The Opportunity

This is a senior operational leadership role within our Australian delivery function, accountable for everything from engineering and product development through manufacturing, supply chain, and project execution.

Working closely with the VP of Operations, you will define and execute the delivery strategy that underpins our growth, ensuring every product, deployment, trial, and customer commitment is delivered safely, on time, on budget, and to the exceptional standards our clients and communities expect.

This is a unique opportunity to lead a highly skilled, multidisciplinary team and shape the systems, processes, and capabilities that will support the next phase of our expansion both locally and globally.

What you'll do

• Lead the engineering team in product development and continuous improvement, championing design-for-safety and design-for-manufacturability principles
• Oversee manufacturing operations and supply chain, driving lean principles and a zero-defect culture through production planning, materials sourcing, and assembly
• Partner with the Transition-in (project management) team to plan, resource, and execute all new deployments against agreed timelines
• Align engineering and manufacturing capacity with the customer pipeline, providing accurate inputs for tenders, bids, and new program commitments
• Establish and maintain quality management processes across the full delivery lifecycle — from design review through factory acceptance testing and post-deployment verification
• Integrate field reliability data and technician feedback into engineering and manufacturing improvement cycles
• Develop and manage budgets across engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain; optimise headcount, contractors, and capital expenditure
• Build, mentor, and develop a high-performing delivery team with clear career pathways and succession plans
