The Opportunity:
This ASX-Listed FinTech builds the software that powers Australia's financial advice ecosystem.
65% market share. 13,000+ advisers. A platform so deeply embedded in how the advice industry operates that switching away from it is not a decision firms make lightly.
This is not a startup chasing product-market fit. This is a $100m+ ARR platform with solid board funding, a new Group Executive with a product-led mandate, and a clear investment thesis around modernisation and AI-native capability.
The foundations are strong. The chance now is to shape what comes next.
What you'll be doing:
- This is an individual contributor role, not a people leadership one. No direct reports, no performance management.
- What it does carry is genuine seniority in substance: set strategic direction, own the full product lifecycle, lead discovery, and represent the business in external pitches and stakeholder conversations alongside the GM of Product.
- Own some of the most strategically important capabilities on the platform, tools that are not finding their footing but are the industry's source of truth, relied on by advisers across Australia every day.
- The work now is evolving them, modernising the experience, and integrating AI-native capability as regulatory and market expectations shift.
- Translate regulatory and advice requirements into clean product decisions, stay ahead of compliance obligations before they land,
and partner with Engineering and Design to improve the adviser experience.
- Align delivery to OKRs rather than feature throughput, build business cases for strategic initiatives, and support go-to-market readiness and post-launch iteration.
This is not a role for someone with a broad understanding of wealth management and the financial advice ecosystem. It is for a product builder who has lived and breathed in it.
What we’re looking for:
- 10+ years of experience across advice, research, product, or platform roles within financial services or wealth technology, with deep domain expertise as the non-negotiable
- A genuine understanding of how advisers use comparison and modelling tools in practice, where the friction is, and what makes a platform trusted as a source of truth
- The ability to take regulatory and actuarial complexity and turn it into clean, defensible product decisions, including business cases and commercial framing
- A track record of owning significant product real estate and delivering outcomes that moved the needle commercially or competitively
- Comfortable working with data at a strategic level, using insight and metrics to challenge direction and inform decisions, not just to report on them
- A collaborator who can work across Engineering, Design, Compliance, and external stakeholders without needing perfect conditions to make progress
- Someone thinking seriously about where AI fits in research and modelling workflows, and what it takes to build for it responsibly in a regulated environment
