Chief Product Officer | Sydney A leading Australian technology and financial services business is seeking a Chief Product Officer to lead the next phase of its evolution. Following a period of significant commercial improvement, the organisation is entering a new chapter focused on strengthening product strategy, accelerating innovation, deepening customer engagement, and embedding data and AI more meaningfully across the business. Reporting to the CEO and serving as a member of the Executive Leadership Team, the Chief Product Officer will hold responsibility for product strategy, portfolio management, data and AI, delivery, transformation, and customer proposition development. The role sits at the intersection of strategy and execution, with the mandate to shape long-term direction while ensuring disciplined delivery against commercial objectives. This is a broad executive leadership role with responsibility across consumer products, merchant propositions, growth initiatives, platform evolution, and organisational capability. The successful candidate will influence investment priorities, guide portfolio decisions, and help define how the organisation competes and grows in an increasingly dynamic market.
The opportunity will appeal to executives who are energised by complexity and who have successfully balanced customer outcomes, commercial performance, risk considerations, and technology-led innovation within scaled environments. We are interested in speaking with accomplished product leaders who bring:
• Executive-level product leadership experience within technology, fintech, payments, financial services, digital platforms, or similarly complex regulated environments
• A track record of translating strategy into commercial outcomes
• Experience leading large-scale product, design, data, and AI-enabled teams
• Strong commercial acumen, with exposure to portfolio economics, revenue growth, and investment decision-making
• The ability to build alignment across executive stakeholders and lead through periods of transformation
• A reputation for thoughtful leadership, sound judgement, and a low-ego, high-accountability approach This is a rare prospect to shape the future direction of a recognised Australian business at a time when its strategic options are expanding and product leadership will play a central role in determining what comes next.
