Job DetailsYolk Digital is engaged by the Clean Energy Regulator to provide an experienced Product Manager to help improve how the agency's schemes deliver for the Australians who rely on them. The CER treats each scheme's end-to-end value stream as a product, and you'll work in partnership with business owners to implement new schemes and enhance the capabilities of existing ones. Acting as the conduit between business and delivery, you'll prioritise the most valuable ideas and most painful problems, lead discovery and epic refinement, and shape solutions, both IT and non-IT, that balance user desirability, business viability and delivery feasibility within known guardrails and constraints.
You'll maintain a transparent roadmap and backlog, support and guide Product Owners and multidisciplinary teams to deliver, lead strategic planning for initiatives with agency-wide impact, and keep stakeholders aligned on progress toward the agency's strategic objectives as part of its broader Change Program.
