Job Description

Be the bridge between customers and delivery, turning strategy into successful outcomes!


Join Objective’s Information Intelligence team, where we empower government and regulated industries to unlock actionable insights and drive transformational outcomes through data-driven solutions. As our Engagement Manager, you’ll be at the heart of mission-critical projects, ensuring our cloud-based software delivers maximum value and transparency to our customers and their communities.

In this role, you'll champion project delivery across Objective Products, with a focus on our fast-evolving Information Intelligence portfolio. You’ll play a pivotal part in establishing trusted partnerships, shaping long-term engagement strategies, and ensuring our solutions deliver real, measurable impact for customers who depend on us to make informed decisions.

You will report to the Regional Services Director and act as a key influencer, representing both customer and Objective interests, without direct people management responsibility. You’ll collaborate with experts across delivery, sales, and product to create an environment where both our clients and our teams excel.
All applicants must hold a valid NV1 Clearance.
