Job Description

Bring together Product Owner thinking, Scrum Master expertise and Big Data experience to help deliver technology that powers real-world industrial operations.

n

If you're someone who enjoys sitting at the intersection of product, technology and Agile delivery, this is a great opportunity to join a global market leader in mining equipment and technology and work on sophisticated data platforms supporting large-scale operational technology.

n

We're looking for someone to join a growing team who can combine the skills of a Product Owner and Scrum Master — someone comfortable working with technical teams, shaping and refining backlogs, facilitating Agile delivery and making sure complex work moves from roadmap through to successful implementation.

n

You'll work across data platforms, analytics and production systems processing large volumes of operational and machine-generated data. Experience within mining or mining technology would be highly regarded, but we're equally interested in people coming from other complex, data-intensive industries.

n

What you'll be doing

n

Working closely with Product Managers, Engineering Managers, Technical Leads and software teams, you'll help turn product priorities and business requirements into clear, achievable delivery plans.

n

You'll:

n

n
- Facilitate sprint planning, backlog refinement, sprint reviews, retrospectives and other Agile ceremonies.
n
- Partner with Product Managers and technical leads to translate roadmap priorities and customer needs into well-defined backlog items.
n
- Develop clear requirements, acceptance criteria, dependencies and expected outcomes.
n
- Drive Agile practices and continuous improvement to improve delivery flow and predictability.
n
- Remove blockers and coordinate dependencies across multiple engineering and technology teams.
n
- Maintain visibility of commitments, progress, risks and upcoming work.
n




- Help teams balance new features with technical debt, defects, modernisation and operational priorities.
n
- Support release planning and operational readiness.
n
- Use delivery metrics and team feedback to continuously improve delivery outcomes.
n
- Keep engineering teams connected to the broader business context and customer value behind the work.
n

n

The role requires someone who can comfortably coordinate across Product Management, engineering, architecture, operations, support and external delivery partners.

n

What we're looking for

n

Ideally, you'll bring a combination of Product Owner and Scrum Master capabilities, rather than being focused exclusively on one discipline.

n

n
- Around 5+ years' experience across Agile delivery, product ownership, software delivery, business analysis, project delivery or related technology roles.
n
- Strong Product Owner skills, particularly backlog management, refinement, requirements and acceptance criteria.
n
- Strong Scrum Master skills, including facilitation, ceremonies, removing blockers and continuous improvement.
n
- Experience working with Big Data, data platforms, analytics or other data-intensive technology environments.
n
- Experience coordinating delivery across multiple software engineering or cross-functional technology teams.
n
- A good understanding of the software development lifecycle and modern software delivery.
n
- Experience with Scrum, Kanban, SAFe or similar Agile frameworks.
n
- Experience using Azure DevOps, Jira or similar delivery and backlog management tools.
n




- Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
n
- Enough technical understanding to confidently work with engineering teams across data, platform, integration and software topics.
n

n

The position description specifically calls for experience working with technical stakeholders across data platforms, analytics, mining/industrial technology or enterprise software, alongside strong Agile delivery and backlog management capability.

n

Highly regarded

n

Experience in mining, mining technology, heavy industry, industrial technology or operational technology (OT) would be a robust advantage.

n

We'd also be interested in candidates who have worked with:

n

n
- Large-scale data platforms or data-intensive enterprise applications
n
- Machine, sensor or operational data
n
- Cloud and distributed software environments
n
- Geographically distributed engineering teams
n
- Complex enterprise software products
n

n

Why this role?

n

This isn't a role where you'll simply run stand-ups and update a delivery board.

n

You'll be closely involved in how work is shaped, prioritised, understood and delivered, working between Product Management and Engineering to bring clarity to complex technical initiatives.

n

It's a great opportunity for someone who enjoys the product ownership side of technology but also loves the facilitation, coaching and delivery focus of a Scrum Master role.

n

You'll be collaborating with a co-located team working on a globally developed and deployed product with real-world impact. This is a 12 month contract with potential for extension.

n

Important Note:

n

On-site role - 5 days per week in Brisbane CBD

n

ONLY Australian citizens, Permanent Residents or New Zealand citizens will be considered for this role

n

ONLY candidates currently living in the Greater Brisbane area will be considered for this role
