Head of Cloud Platform & Security

At Ando Insurance, we’re not standing still. We’re building, modernising and creating the technology foundations that will help shape where we go next.

That’s where you come in.

We’re looking for a cloud and infrastructure expert to take ownership of our Azure platform, security posture and cloud engineering capability - helping us build a secure, scalable environment that enables the business to move faster and smarter.

Reporting to our CIO, this is a newly created leadership role designed for someone who still loves being close to the tech - someone who gets excited by Azure architecture, security, automation and platform engineering - and who enjoys mentoring others and lifting technical capability across the team.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll lead the evolution of Ando’s Azure-first cloud platform and security capability, spanning strategy through to hands-on implementation.

Key areas include:

• Azure platform architecture and governance

• Cloud security and cyber uplift

• Identity, networking and Zero Trust principles

• DevOps and platform engineering

• Infrastructure as Code and automation

• Vendor and managed service relationships

• Mentoring engineers and uplifting internal capability

• Helping us progressively bring more technical capability in-house

You’ll work closely with our CIO and Technology Leadership Team to create a secure, reliable and developer-friendly platform that supports Ando’s future growth.

About you

You’re someone who can move comfortably between strategic conversations and deep technical problem solving.

You’ve likely spent years designing and supporting complex Azure environments and know what good looks like when it comes to cloud engineering, security and operational maturity.

You enjoy helping others grow, share knowledge freely and bring people along on the journey.

We’d love to hear from people with experience across most of the following:

• Enterprise Azure environments and Azure Landing Zones

• Infrastructure/platform engineering

• Azure networking, identity and security

• Microsoft Defender, Sentinel and Entra ID

• Terraform and/or Bicep

• CI/CD and DevOps tooling

• Observability, resilience and operational excellence

• Security architecture and cloud governance

Why Ando?

We’re proud to be a little different from your typical insurance company.

Ten years ago, we started as a challenger brand looking to disrupt the insurance industry - and we’ve been growing rapidly ever since. Today, we’re a team of around 380 people, still with that same ambitious mindset.

We’re a friendly, down-to-earth bunch who work hard, move quickly and get sht done - without the corporate ego. We also offer some great perks, including:

• Life & Income Protection Insurance

• $500 annual wellbeing allowance

• Hybrid flexible working (2-3 days in the office)

• Brand new offices opening in July in Auckland’s Wynyard Quarter, complete with a golf simulator, gym and sauna

Most importantly, you’ll have the opportunity to shape a growing technology capability in a business where your ideas and expertise will genuinely influence the future direction.

If this sounds like your kind of role, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today!
