About the Role
You'll work closely with the Clipboard Product Manager to turn roadmap priorities into shipped products across Clipboard EMS and Clipboard Compete. It's a hands-on, high-agency role - you'll own delivery of your areas end-to-end and be accountable for the outcomes, not just the outputs. You'll sit at the intersection of customers, business and engineering - staying close to schools using the product, translating between commercial stakeholders and engineers, and using AI tooling in your own workflow to move quickly from idea to shipped feature.
Responsibilities
- Deliver against the Clipboard roadmap
- Turn the Clipboard roadmap and priorities into shipped work across Clipboard EMS and Clipboard Compete - from problem, through to shipped, through to success.
- Report on progress so the team always knows what's shipping and what's blocked.
- Work in fast cycles, breaking work into small increments and shipping iteratively rather than waiting on big releases.
- Support how Clipboard connects and interfaces with other systems across the Compass Group.
- Represent the product with customers directly - staying close to them, acting as the voice of the customer inside the business, and using that signal to validate the right bets quickly.
- Talk credibly to business stakeholders and engineers, translating between the two.
- Bring a working understanding of design and be comfortable making design calls.
- Reason well across the four areas of product risk: value, viability, feasibility and usability.
- Bring a builder mindset - get concrete and hands-on, moving quickly to turn ideas into shipped products.
- Add just enough process to move fast, without over-engineering it.
- Use AI tooling in your own workflow to compress discovery, prototyping and delivery.
- Contribute to new logo growth for Clipboard, helping more schools discover and adopt the product.
- Help expand the value Clipboard delivers to schools, deepening usage and growing Clipboard's footprint.
- Help make Clipboard work seamlessly alongside the wider Compass suite, so schools get a connected, joined-up experience across their tools.
Requirements
- 1-3 years of product experience in SaaS, or equivalent experience as a designer, engineer or similar who's moving into product.
- High energy and high agency - you think fast, move fast, adapt.
- A clear, efficient, confident communicator - when you speak, people know exactly what you mean.
- Genuine ability to own your work and be accountable for it, following things through to done rather than letting them drift to someone else.
- Comfort with ambiguity and speed, with the instinct to add just enough structure without over-engineering it.
- A working understanding of design, enough to make good calls on product decisions.
- Fluency with AI tooling in a real build workflow.
- Malleable and adaptable - you keep pace with change, adjust to shifting priorities, and get concrete rather than staying high-level.
- A valid Employee Working With Children Check
- A satisfactory National Police Check
- Verification of unrestricted work rights in Australia (e.g. citizenship, passport or birth certificate)
