Sydney | Newly Created Role | International Technology Business

Not your typical Product Manager role. A rare opportunity to combine product ownership, commercial strategy and business growth.

Think product strategy, commercial growth, customer experience and technology – all in one role.

The prospect

Reporting to Australian senior management, with a functional reporting line to the Global Chief Product Officer overseas, you'll act as the key link between the Australian business and international product and engineering teams.

You'll have the autonomy to challenge existing thinking, influence product direction and ensure development priorities reflect what the Australian market actually needs.

Key areas of responsibility include:

- Own and develop the Australian product roadmap, balancing customer needs, commercial opportunities and technical priorities.





- Identify new revenue streams and opportunities through product enhancements, strategic partnerships, advertising and customer engagement initiatives.

- Work closely with local commercial, marketing and operations teams to understand market requirements and translate these into product opportunities.

- Collaborate with overseas engineering and R&D; teams to prioritise, develop and deliver new features and integrations.

- Work with international product leadership to align regional requirements with broader group strategy.

- Oversee product launches and enhancements, measuring success against commercial, customer and operational KPIs.

- Continually evaluate the customer experience, identifying opportunities for improvement and innovation.

About you

You'll ideally have

- 3–5 years' experience in Product Management within technology, software, SaaS, digital platforms, IoT, mobility, payments or a related environment.

- Strong commercial acumen and an ability to identify opportunities that translate into revenue, growth and customer value.

- Experience translating business requirements into detailed product specifications and PRDs.

- Sufficient technical understanding to confidently engage with engineering teams around APIs, integrations and development requirements.
