For over almost 60 years, our solutions have enabled impactful connections between some of the world’s leading brands and their customers. And while we’ve already done a lot of work we’re proud of, we’re just getting started!

We’re a global technology company focused on creating dynamic, smart, personalized and engaging customer experiences powered by our range of digital hardware, our proprietary content management system and our industry leading signage solutions. (For example: If you’ve ordered in-store or in the drive-thru at McDonald’s somewhere in the world in the last few years, chances are you’ve interacted with our digital solutions.) We work in over 50 global markets and have 9 offices around the world, with a global headquarters proudly located in our founding home of Sydney, Australia.

 

Coates Group has the values of a family-owned business and the innovative spirit of a start-up, both which fuel our purpose – Creating Connections. Empowering Partnerships. Always Evolving.  Through hard work, dedication and creativity, we’ve become industry leaders who have won awards and set records while remaining focused on continual growth and evolution. We are a 2x Australia Good Design Award winner and successfully completed the largest hardware deployment in Quick Service Restaurant history.

We are curious, charismatic, authentic and we value and leverage the diversity of our crew. We are imaginers, kindness enthusiasts, experts, creators, thinkers, challengers, collaborators and over-achievers. And together, as a Crew, we are revolutionizing the way the world’s leading brands leverage technology to drive the best customer experiences.

The Technical Project Manager (TPM) focused on software development and delivery is responsible for overseeing the end-to-end execution of software projects, ensuring that development processes are efficient, technically sound, and aligned with product requirements. They translate business and product goals into detailed technical plans, working closely with IT and engineering teams to break down features into tasks, define architecture needs, manage dependencies, and ensure adherence to best practices in coding, testing, and integration. With a solid understanding of software development lifecycles—particularly Agile or DevOps frameworks—they coordinate sprints, track technical progress, identify architectural or performance risks, and help remove blockers that slow down engineering velocity and software releases.

In systems and software delivery, TPMs are responsible for orchestrating the smooth release of features and applications, from development through staging to production. TPMs plan release schedules, manage version control and rollout strategies, and ensure postrelease monitoring is in place for stability and performance. They collaborate with designers, QA, DevOps, and infrastructure teams to enable automated testing, continuous integration, and deployment pipelines are reliable and efficient. Their technicaloversight ensures that software is not only delivered on time but also scalable, secure, and maintainable—bridging execution and engineering excellence with reliable delivery.

• Projects are delivered on time, within agreed scope, and to defined quality standards, reducing the cost of delays and rework.

• Stakeholder expectations are consistently met or exceeded through transparent communication and trust-based
