About Us

At Basis, our purpose is to radically accelerate the clean-energy revolution - starting with smarter, safer, and more efficient homes. We’re focused on improving experiences for people through the application of technology, data, and a deep understanding of human behaviour.

Why? As a society, we need to decarbonise and accelerate the transition to alternative energy sources. Existing solutions are expensive and disparate, with limited functionality.

Basis is driven by purpose, real innovation, and ambition. We have a talented team spread across New Zealand, with a creative space by the beach in Takapuna and a Design Lab in Christchurch where our physical products come to life.

Our team is smart, curious, and has some big goals - so if you’re interested in joining a fast-growing startup that is design-led and puts people at its core, then we’d love to hear from you!

The Role

We're looking to bolster our Delivery Team with a Delivery Manager (fixed term). As a Delivery Manager, you will be the driving energy behind the planning, coordination, and successful execution of projects within and across your squads. Leveraging your technical proficiency and leadership skills, you will guide your squads in achieving milestones and delivering the right solutions on time and within budget.

Some of the things that you might be involved in include:

• In collaboration with the Product Managers and Tech Leads, drive the app & platform squads to deliver the roadmap on time and on cost.
• In collaboration with Sales and Marketing teams, deliver our product into Australia in 2025.
• Advocate for agile methodologies within your squads. Be involved in and guide ceremonies where necessary.
• Oversee Jira hygiene by ensuring all work is captured and timeframes are planned. Create a plan with the team to manage the backlog and assist with the prioritisation of work.
• Proactively communicate blocks, risks, and updates with the relevant stakeholders.
• Update and/or generate any changes to project or development processes, following change management best practices to ensure changes are adopted.

Please note: this is a fixed-term role from July until December 2025.

About You

We think you’ll be a fit for this role if you have the following skills or traits:

• Proven experience working in a similar role delivering mobile applications and/or data platforms.
• Experience working with agile methodologies and running cross-functional squads.
• High proficiency using Jira as a project management tool, as well as Confluence.
• An ability to take initiative, follow through on what you say you’ll do, and own your mistakes.
• Demonstrable experience taking teams from high potential to high-performing.
• Determination and tenacity, and the ability to maintain a positive attitude in challenging situations.
• Someone who has perfected the art of holding teams accountable in a non-adversarial way.
• View roadblocks as opportunities for growth, adapt positively to change, and embrace feedback.
• Proactive, candid, and concise communication skills - both written and verbal.

Some nice to haves include:

• Exposure to working with a hardware product is desirable but not essential.

Research shows that while men apply for jobs when they meet ~ 60% of the job criteria, women and other marginalised groups tend to apply only when they check every box. So if you think you have what it takes but are not sure you check every box, we still want to hear from you 🙌

Benefits

• A hybrid-first culture - work from home or come into the office, it's totally up to you.
• Tools of trade, including laptop and headphones

• A schedule of fun team events throughout the year (ziplining, knife throwing, lawn games, what's next?).

• Access to Clearhead, our well-being programme which gives you 5x free sessions with a psychologist per year.
