Mōu | About you

As our Manager Hybrid Multi-Cloud, you will take the helm of our team's leadership responsibilities in two crucial areas: People and Hybrid Multi-Cloud.

First, you'll be leading a fantastic team of tech-savvy individuals within Digital Enterprise Service, which is no small feat! This team plays a crucial role in our journey from old-school IT to our bright and shiny hybrid multi-cloud future. Your leadership in guiding our talented team through this transformation and helping them chart their career paths is vital. We want everyone on board and excited about this change!

Now, let's talk about investment choices, timing, commitment, and execution. You'll be making some big decisions here. Breaking through barriers and overcoming challenges to make the right choices at the right time is key. We're all about that Cloud-First strategy, and your role is crucial in ensuring we stick to it and tackle any obstacles that come our way.

But that's not all! You will also be leading our Hybrid Multi-support and operations capabilities, including people, processes, and platforms. Simplifying our support systems through standardisation and boosting our infrastructure delivery speed are essential goals. We want to make sure we're efficient and effective, and your role contributes to creating a culture of connectedness and continuous improvement. We're all about keeping our systems and services available and meeting customer expectations.

Te Whatu Ora supports flexible and hybrid working for our kaimahi. In roles that don't require an in-person element, we encourage you to ‘work from where you are.' We want our national teams to be made up of diverse people from across the motu, just like our health system.

Tō mātou whakahaere ki te tika, te rerekētanga, me te whai wāhi mai |Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion

Our name, Te Whatu Ora, means ‘the weaving of wellness'. Whatu is the combining together of people, resources, organisations, thoughts and actions for the betterment and wellbeing of all. Whatu is also a direct reference to the pupil of the eye, and the vision required of the new entity and system.

At Te Whatu Ora we acknowledge and respect our people's diversity and spiritual needs, ensuring a safe workplace that is a whānau orientated and supportive environment. We are working towards a system that better meets the complex demands of a growing population, addresses the persistent inequalities experienced by Māori and ensures greater access, experience and outcomes for those traditionally not well served by the system – Māori, Pacific and Disabled People.
