Men are dying too young – and it doesn’t have to be that way.
Around the world, men are facing a health crisis: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, poor mental health and suicide. At Movember we’re on a mission to change the face of men’s health by making it easier for men to talk, act and live longer healthier lives.
Every project, every campaign, every idea adds up to real change. You’ll be part of a moustache-powered crew who believe making an impact and having fun should go hand in hand. Your mission is calling.
DO GOOD. Work for Movember.
Your Mo-Mission (should you choose to accept it):
Movember's $100m annual campaign doesn't run on good intentions alone. It runs on reliable, well-built software, operated by a team that owns what it ships. As Engineering & Release Manager, you'll sit at the centre of two interconnected responsibilities: leading and developing Movember's engineering team, and owning the release and build management processes that get quality software into production safely and on schedule.
On the people side, you'll be a trusted leader who helps engineers grow. You'll set clear expectations, run meaningful 1:1s, build individual development plans, and foster a culture of innovative engineering practice alongside your peer leaders, the Staff Engineer and Solution Architect. You'll champion psychological safety, continuous learning, and the kind of craft-driven team environment where engineers do their best work and stay.
On the operational side, you'll be the gatekeeper for change. You'll own release governance, quality gates, and deployment pipelines, and you'll embed a genuine "you build it, you run it" model of accountability across the team. Platform observability is yours too: dashboards, alerting, runbooks, and the insight needed to drive continuous improvement in reliability and incident response in close collaboration with DevOps. When major campaign periods approach, you'll run dress rehearsals, coordinate disaster recovery testing, and roster the team for on-call monitoring so that when it counts most, everything runs flawlessly.
This role also sits at the frontier of Movember's active journey to embed AI across its technology and operational practice. We're looking for a leader who is genuinely excited by that challenge and ready to help build an engineering culture where AI is a natural part of how great work gets done. Reporting to the Director of Technology & Campaign Operations and based in Melbourne, this is a full-time role for someone who leads with both technical credibility and genuine human warmth.
No Moustache Required - but the following are:
5+ years of experience in engineering leadership or senior engineering roles, with demonstrated people management responsibility in a technical environment
Demonstrated experience owning release and build management processes, including branch management, quality gates, release governance, and deployment pipelines in a cloud engineering context
Proven ability to build team culture and develop individual engineers, including setting development plans, coaching for performance, and fostering a psychologically safe and high-performing team environment
Hands-on experience with platform observability tooling, including monitoring, alerting, dashboarding, and incident management practices in a production environment
Practical experience implementing or operating a "you build it, you run it" model, including on-call rostering, production incident response, and disaster recovery testing
Comfort working in a small, peer-led technical leadership team, able to collaborate effectively with Staff Engineer and Solution Architect counterparts without clear hierarchical boundaries
A strong communicator who can represent engineering team health, release status, and operational metrics to senior stakeholders clearly and with confidence
Not Mission Critical - but for extra street cred:
Experience delivering technology in support of a time-critical annual event or campaign, including readiness rehearsals, live operations, and wind-down
Familiarity with DevOps toolchains, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code practices that underpin modern release management
Exposure to observability platforms such as Datadog, New Relic or Grafana, with experience building or improving production monitoring maturity
GOOD CAUSE:
Working for Movember, you’ll help turn ideas (and moustaches) into millions for men’s health. Every bit we raise changes the face of men’s health by funding research, improving treatments, and supporting programs that help save lives
We’re even shaping government policies on men’s health worldwide. By meeting directly with lawmakers, and helping them understand how more investment on men’s health benefits not just men, but all the communities they serve.
GOOD VIBES:
We love weekends. That’s why our Fridays finish early for nine months of the year. But we also love our office vibe. Because here, it always feels like something big is about to happen. Be it an office-wide surprise birthday party (with cake!) or an open invite for all to hit the pub.
Come the hairy season, the energy cranks up. We’re talking celebrity visits. Live stunts on-site for TV and radio. And when we hit a fundraising milestone, the office gong might even go off. But, for those who prefer calm, no probs: hybrid working means you work where you feel best.
GOOD CREW:
Spoiler alert: we’re a no-ego, all-impact crew. That means everyone gets a say, from new starters to those leading the charge. Collaboration over hierarchies, curiosity over rigid process. And it’s true across all our offices worldwide. We work as one, sharing expertise and celebrating wins. All in the name of making the biggest impact across the globe. United, we Mo.
We offer:
Flexible hybrid working from home and our modern Richmond office
Finish work at 2pm on Fridays (Dec-Aug)
NFP salary packaging (pay less tax)
13 weeks paid parental leave and 5 weeks annual leave
Fun & collaborative culture with employee social events
Free Headspace subscription and other wellbeing initiative
Relaxed dress code
Boy, do we know the feeling of being judged. (Over how we look, and other things that shouldn’t matter.) Being different is how we started. And it’s also helped us raise $1 billion for men’s health. So, we know the power of diverse experiences, skills and perspectives.
And another impressive number is our WGEA gender pay gap: it sits at a big, fat, round 0%. If you’ve got the relevant skills and the right attitude, let nothing stand in your way of firing off your application.
Movember is stronger when Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are part of our crew. We want you to feel supported in exploring opportunities with us. That’s why before applying, we invite you to yarn with Raymond Rosendale, Australian Indigenous Programs Manager, in a virtual catch-up to talk about the role, our community work, or just to share ideas.
Do you want to DO GOOD?
If so, we’d love to hear from you.
