About the Role
This role requires someone who understands ML and AI systems at a fundamental level, with proven experience delivering complex API-based products. You will be responsible for delivery ownership, requirements analysis, stakeholder management, and process improvement.
Responsibilities
- Take full ownership of on-time, in-scope delivery outcomes across your area of responsibility
- Proactively manage programs of work, identify risks and dependencies early, and keep commitments on track
- Be the Product Owner for your development team — write clear user stories, run sprint ceremonies, and keep things moving
- Work closely with Product Managers and technical leads to translate product requirements into clear, actionable technical requirements
- Ask the right questions — a lot of them — before committing to a direction
- Synthesise competing priorities and inputs into practical delivery decisions grounded in data
- Manage the boundary between agreed scope and incoming ad hoc requests — confidently and constructively
- Keep stakeholders informed on progress, risks, and dates without surprises
- Navigate the tension between product and engineering with resilience and good judgment
- Contribute to team-wide process improvement — we're actively building out our ways of working and we want someone who'll bring ideas to the table
- Help shape templates, rituals, and delivery frameworks as the team scales
Requirements
- 5+ years in a technical delivery, product owner, or technical program management role
- Background as a software developer or technical IC who moved into delivery
- Strong technical depth and experience in SaaS development and deployment
- Demonstrated experience with APIs — design, integration, or working closely with teams building and consuming them
- Background in software development or a technical discipline
- Exposure to AI/ML products or delivery
- Proven experience in Agile/Scrum delivery environments — ceremonies, backlog management, sprint planning
- Excellent requirements elicitation and analytical skills
- Strong stakeholder management
- High tolerance for ambiguity — and the drive to reduce it over time
- Experience in a SaaS, tech, or scale-up environment (~1,000 employees strongly preferred)
- East Coast Australia based; full working rights
- Experience with geospatial, computer vision, or data-heavy platforms
- Familiarity with AWS, cloud infrastructure, or data pipelines
- Experience scaling products or platforms across regions
