AI, Automation & Integration Director

At Inde, we help organisations solve real problems, the kind that sit at the intersection of people, process and technology.

We’re now looking for a Technical Director – AI, Automation and Integration in Auckland to lead the creation of intelligent, integrated solutions that genuinely change how our customers work. Candidates in Christchurch will also be considered.

This is a role for someone who wants the freedom to create, and who wants to design, build and scale AI‑driven solutions, not just talk about them, and who enjoys turning emerging technology into practical outcomes for complex, enterprise environments.

Inde is an employee‑owned IT consultancy that blends scale with agility. We support some of the country’s largest customers while keeping decision‑making fast and flexible. Your hard work isn’t for distant shareholders - it benefits you and your team.

What You'll Do

  • Lead a team that design, build and deploy AI‑driven solutions that remove friction, automate complexity, and unlock new ways of working for customers.
  • Create and scale a business centred on evolving AI solutions, from strategy through to delivery.
  • Be a trusted strategic partner to customers, bringing deep technical insight, experiment with new ideas and create innovation.
  • Foster a positive, innovative culture where ideas are encouraged and acted on.
  • Collaborate with other leaders to identify and secure new opportunities.
  • Shape and deliver a growth strategy aligned with Inde’s wider vision. 

What You'll Bring

  • Strong leadership and coaching skills – able to grow high-performing teams.
  • A track record of turning emerging technology into practical, valuable solutions.
  • The confidence to set direction, and the humility to learn, adapt and evolve it.
  • Curiosity about what’s next in AI, Automation and Integration, and the drive to apply it where it matters.
  • Excellent relationship skills – able to connect easily with colleagues and customers.
  • A passion for technology and curiosity for what’s next.

Why Inde

We are an employee-owned, values driven business. We specialise in IT consulting to large, enterprise customers and are known within the industry for our outcome focused approach, and our innovative solutions. We know that our people are what sets us apart, and our focus on development, both technical and personal, is what helps us maintain this point of difference.

We believe in the power of the collective, working together across the business, without silos. This requires deliberate relationship building and ensuring everyone benefits from the efforts they put in. This is why quarterly profit share, and regular social events are a priority, as well as a highlight.

Perks and Benefits

  • Opportunity for quarterly profit share – because success is shared.
  • Investment in your professional growth and development.
  • Health insurance, wellbeing initiatives, and birthday leave.
  • Regular team events – because collaboration and celebration matter.

How to apply

If you're feeling aligned to our values and Inde seems like the kind of place for you, apply via Seek with a resume and cover letter.

If you're thinking of using AI to write your cover letter, that's awesome - because we're all about innovation. However, rather than sending the output, we're keen to see the prompt you would have used instead.

After reviewing your application we'll reach out for a conversation if we appear to be well matched. Note that only applications received via Seek can be considered.

We want candidates to be the best version of themselves during the hiring process. We value diversity and our selection processes are fair, inclusive, and free from bias. If you have suggestions around how we can create a great experience for you, tell us. Or if you just have a question, reach out to us on 0800 694 633.
