• Hybrid contract role - 12 months duration
• Sunny Bay location and lifestyle
• Immediate strategic impact

This isn't a "keep the lights on" contract.

It's an opportunity for an experienced Senior Data Engineer to step into a business at a pivotal point, help establish the foundations of a modern data platform, and leave behind capability that will influence strategic decision-making for years to come.

We're looking for someone who moves seamlessly from architecture to insight, from engineering to influence - someone who enjoys building data environments that drive real business outcomes and is comfortable partnering with senior stakeholders as naturally as they work with technology.

Over the next 12 months, you'll be an integral part of the development of a modern, fit-for-purpose data platform that enables smarter, faster and more confident decision-making across the organisation.

Starting from a relatively low level of maturity, you'll have the opportunity to shape the direction of the platform from day one. Rather than inheriting someone else's architecture, you'll help determine the early stages of the build, why it matters, and how it evolves into a scalable, future-ready environment.

This is a hands-on contract where you'll deliver tangible outcomes while helping establish the foundations for long-term success.

You'll be part of a team designing and building robust end-to-end data pipelines, bringing together multiple data sources into a trusted, reliable platform.

You'll establish scalable orchestration, data governance and security practices while ensuring information is accurate, accessible and genuinely useful to the people making business decisions.

Working closely with senior leaders and business stakeholders, you'll translate complex technical concepts into practical insights, helping turn data into better operational and strategic decisions.

You'll also introduce modern engineering practices, improve data quality, create meaningful visualisations, and implement predictive analytics where appropriate.

• Twelve-month engagement with meaningful, business-critical outcomes.
• Genuine ownership of platform design and implementation.
• Opportunity to influence senior leadership and organisational strategy.
• Modern Microsoft data environment with scope to introduce best practice.
• Autonomy to make decisions and deliver lasting value.

You'll have proven experience designing and delivering enterprise data platforms, with strong expertise across data engineering, ETL/ELT, analytics and visualisation.

You'll be comfortable building production-ready pipelines, implementing orchestration, establishing governance standards and working across modern Microsoft technologies. Experience with Fabric, OneLake or similar cloud data platforms will be highly regarded.

Equally important is your ability to engage with stakeholders, understand business priorities and convert technical capability into practical commercial outcomes.

You're someone who enjoys bringing structure to complexity.

You think strategically while remaining hands-on. You're commercially aware, naturally collaborative and comfortable working with ambiguity. Rather than simply delivering technical solutions, you enjoy helping organisations become genuinely data-driven, because this is an identified competitive advantage for them.

Most importantly, you're motivated by building something worthwhile and leaving it in a stronger position than when you arrived.

• 12-month contract
• Excellent daily or hourly rate
• Immediate, quick, or planned start
• Opportunity to help build a modern data platform from the early stages
• Autonomy, flexibility and genuine influence
• A project where your work will continue delivering value long after the contract concludes

This is far more than another contract assignment.

It's an opportunity to create a data platform that becomes the foundation for smarter decisions, stronger performance, and future growth.

To apply for this excellent opportunity, please click on Apply Now and follow our application process, and attach both a cover letter and up-to-date CV (Word or PDF). If you'd like to know more, please reach out to Kevin Chappell on 029-5974739

NB: You must have the right to work in NZ - and be residing in NZ - to apply for this role. We will only respond to those who fulfill these criteria.

Expertise the focus, not location!  |  Launch SaaS Platform  |  Ongoing, as required

We're acting on behalf of the company launching Careersie, a New Zealand-built platform that gives people a Living Professional Identity they use, instead of a CV they rewrite every time they apply for something. It's almost built, and now it needs a launch implementation strategy to reach the people it was made for.

The launch plan has already been written, but may need some tweaking. Positioning, message, markets and channels have taken months to get right and they're identified. What is needed is someone to run it: turn the plan into a working schedule, produce the material, keep it moving, and report what the numbers are saying.

There's the Founder who owns the product and the story, and a Lead Developer who has guiding the build and development. You're the person who makes the launch actually happen between them.

What you'd be doing

• Managing the launch end to end - but under the watch of the Founder. Sequence, timing, dependencies, what goes out when and what has to be ready first.
• Producing the material the plan calls for. Emails, landing page copy, social posts, drafted with Claude alongside you and finished to a standard that the name goes on.
• Bringing variation. The direction is set, but how a message lands in an email versus a LinkedIn post needs that variation.
• Working directly with the Lead Developer on what is needed before launch, and managing that process.
• Reporting back on what's working, so that adjustment can be made quickly to the plan rather than guesswork.
• Helping us prepare for broader international markets, which are in scope for the same product.

What you'd bring

• A launch you've been part of and has been successful. What you did, what happened, what you've learned, and what you'd do differently.
• Passionate about AI as an effective business tool, not just something you use now and then. Experience with Claude is a real advantage.
• A working understanding of SaaS - testing, trialing, activating, rejigging if needed and why.
• Genuinely hands-on. There's nobody to hand a brief to. If an email is needed, you handle writing it.
• Comfort working to someone else's strategy. This is a role for someone who takes a considered plan and executes it well, not someone looking to rewrite it.

How it works

Remote, ad hoc, as required. Some weeks will be busy, others quiet. Getting together in person occasionally is useful but not an imperative. Skills and experience are the imperatives!

To apply

Include something you've put together that went out into the world, and a few lines to give us an idea of your approach. A CV is fine, but it's the second thing we'll read after some evidence backing the requirements. You will be required to sign an NDA should you be selected to undertake the work.

Hit "Apply" and attach documentation that demonstrates what you've done, but if what you have doesn't fit as an attachment, then email details or a URL link to kevin@talentnow.co.nz. After all, this is what Careersie will do much better!
