Engineering Manager - AI Workflows

Responsibilities

• Designing and implementing the technical architecture for enterprise AI deployments

Where and how you can work

This role is based in Sydney. You will work in a hybrid model with core collaboration days in the office. Xero supports flexible ways of working, and regular "boost days" bring our ANZ teams together for connection and planning.

Here are some of the things we are looking for

You bring solid engineering credibility, ideally from shipping production software at scale, so you can make sound technical decisions and earn your team's respect without needing to code day-to-day.

Your approach to strategy is pragmatic: you can move fast without all the answers, turning vague problems into clear scope, and pivoting when the situation changes.

You will Go Bold in how you lead: giving your team ownership, pushing back on processes that slow you down, and creating space for innovation alongside delivery.

You demonstrate genuine curiosity about your people and a commitment to coaching them up. You leave your team knowing more than when they joined.

You show comfort bridging technical and non-technical worlds, translating between engineers and business stakeholders without losing nuance on either side.

Apply even if your experience isn't a perfect match! At Xero, we hire based on your skills, passion, and the unique perspective you can bring to enhance our culture and team.
