Horizontal Talent Australia Pty Ltd – Sydney NSW

Remote Anywhere in Australia | Immediate Start | 6-7 Month Contract

Fully remote from anywhere in Australia, this is a unique opportunity to join a collaborative, high-impact team working at the intersection of technology and creative production. You'll help shape the tools, systems and workflows that power complex production environments, gain exposure to emerging AI-assisted software development practices, and play a key role in influencing how products, processes and teams evolve. Immediate start available, with strong potential for extension.

We're considering candidates from across Australia. While the role is advertised from Sydney, the team already works remotely, and what matters most is your experience, your energy and your ability to bring people, technology and workflows together.

Perhaps you've built your career in VFX, animation, gaming, production technology or software delivery. Maybe you've worked closely with creative teams, managed complex workflows, partnered with developers and helped bring innovative ideas to life. If you enjoy connecting people, process and technology, we'd love to hear from you.

The Opportunity

You'll join a collaborative team responsible for enhancing software products that support creative production workflows used by global teams.

This isn't a traditional customer-facing Product Manager role. Instead, you'll focus on the platforms, systems and tools behind the scenes, helping teams plan, track, manage and deliver complex work more effectively.

Working closely with the Product Owner, software developers,



stakeholders and end users, you'll drive workflow improvements, streamline processes and help shape the evolution of products that support complex production environments.

Facilitate Agile and Scrum ceremonies

Work closely with software engineering teams

Gather and refine requirements

Drive workflow and process improvements

Create documentation, training materials and user guides

Manage delivery using Jira and Confluence

Coordinate stakeholders across multiple locations and time zones

Support internal platforms that power production and operational workflows

What We're Looking For

Product Management or Product Ownership experience

Experience working alongside software engineering teams

Jira and Confluence expertise

Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills

Experience within VFX, animation, gaming, production technology, media technology or workflow-driven environments will be highly regarded

About You

You're organised, proactive and collaborative. You enjoy solving complex problems, creating clarity from ambiguity and building trusted relationships across technical and non-technical teams.

Most importantly, you bring positive energy, enthusiasm and a genuine desire to help people do their best work.

If you're looking for an opportunity that combines technology, creativity, workflow innovation and genuinely engaging work, we'd love to hear from you.
