Technology Business Manager

Who We Are

At Pepper Money, we’re dedicated to helping people succeed—whether it’s buying a family home, a dream car, developing professionally, or growing their business. We’ve become one of the largest, most trusted, and award-winning non-bank lenders in Australia and New Zealand. Over our 26 years, we’ve achieved a lot, but our proudest accomplishment is helping over half a million Australians reach their goals with our ever-expanding lending options. 

The Role

Technology is one of Pepper Money's largest areas of investment, and we're looking for a commercially minded leader to help shape how that investment is managed, governed and optimised.

As a Technology Business Manager, you'll be responsible for creating greater visibility and control across technology financials, workforce planning, vendor management and operational reporting. Working closely with senior leaders across Technology, Finance, Procurement and HR, you'll provide the insights and commercial guidance that support better business decisions and drive long-term value.

• Lead technology budgeting, forecasting and financial management activities

• Drive visibility of technology costs, consumption and investment performance

• Partner with technology leaders to improve financial accountability and cost management

• Oversee vendor contracts, renewals, commercial negotiations and supplier performance

• Develop workforce planning and headcount reporting across permanent and contract resources

• Deliver meaningful reporting, dashboards and insights that support strategic decisions

• Identify process improvements and opportunities to increase operational efficiency

• Build strong partnerships across Technology, Finance, Procurement, HR and other business functions

• Lead and develop a team responsible for technology operations and financial administration

About you

You understand that great technology organisations need more than strong technical capability, they also need commercial rigour, financial discipline and clear decision-making. You're equally comfortable discussing budgets with Finance, contracts with Procurement and workforce planning with HR as you are partnering with Technology leaders.

You bring a strong financial foundation and enjoy solving complex business problems. Whether it's improving reporting, simplifying manual processes, challenging spend or helping leaders better understand their cost base, you're someone who naturally looks for smarter ways of working and takes ownership of driving outcomes.

• Bring experience in technology business management, technology finance or commercial management
• Demonstrate strong budgeting, forecasting and financial analysis capability
• Understand technology cost drivers, vendor management and procurement practices
• Build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders across multiple business functions
• Communicate complex financial information in a simple and actionable way
• Drive process improvement, standardisation and operational excellence
• Analyse data and translate insights into meaningful business outcomes
• Lead teams while creating accountability, engagement and strong performance
• Hold relevant qualifications in finance, accounting, business or technology
• CA, CPA or TBM certification will be highly regarded

At Pepper Money, collaboration is just as vital as your skills. Our values are the heartbeat of our success, driving everything we do:

Can Do: We think outside the box and harness the power of teamwork to achieve the extraordinary.
Balanced: We set our customers up for success, crafting win-win outcomes that are both human and profitable.
