1. Why join BoardOutlook?

1.1 A purpose-driven mission

We founded BoardOutlook in 2019 to help more boards become great boards—for the benefit of shareholders, employees, communities, and society. Our software is used by some of the most senior leaders in the country to make better decisions at critical moments.

We’ve now worked with thousands of directors across hundreds of organisations. Our conviction is stronger than ever: great governance is a force multiplier, and our platform helps drive it.

1.2 A team you’ll learn from

We’re a small, senior, cross-functional team with deep experience across tech startups, consulting, design, and product. This is an excellent environment for someone who wants mentorship, autonomy, and exposure to how great product is built in the real world.

We live by five core values:

• Organisation – We believe this gives us an unfair advantage
• Attention to detail – The small things matter
• Urgency – We move quickly and execute with intent
• Generous investment – We support each other’s growth
• Optimism and ambition – We set a high bar and go after it

1.3 A growth company with momentum

We’re well-funded, expanding globally, and investing in our product suite. This is a formative time in our journey — and a great opportunity to make an outsized impact early in your career.

2. About this role

You’ll be joining our Product team to support the delivery of new features and improvements across the platform.

This is an entry-level product role focused on execution, coordination, and learning. You’ll work closely with product leadership, engineers, designers, and client teams to:

• Support scoping of new features and updates by gathering requirements and asking good questions
• Help write clear documentation (user stories, tickets, acceptance criteria, etc.)
• Assist with product QA and user acceptance testing
• Monitor product usage and feedback to spot opportunities and issues
• Maintain the backlog and help ensure tickets are up to date and prioritised
• Support product discovery activities such as competitor research, user feedback synthesis, and documentation updates
• Over time, we’ll give you increasing responsibility as you gain experience, including owning small features end-to-end with support from the team.

3. About you

We’re looking for someone early in their product career who is excited to learn, hungry to contribute, and naturally detail-oriented.

At a minimum, you have:

• 1–2 years of experience in a Product, Business Analyst, Project Coordinator, or similarly adjacent role
• Excellent organisation and communication skills
• Strong attention to detail and a desire to build high-quality things
• A proactive and curious mindset — you’re the kind of person who notices gaps, asks questions, and wants to understand how things work
• Comfort working with ambiguity and learning on the job

You might be especially well suited if you:

• Have worked in or around a SaaS product team
• Have some experience writing product documentation or user stories
• Have experience working with Atlassian products (e.g. Jira)
• Are confident working with engineers and designers in a cross-functional environment
• Have interacted with senior stakeholders and are comfortable in professional settings
• Have a background in consulting, project coordination, operations, or design and are looking to make a shift into product

4. Compensation

We’re offering total cash compensation of $90–$110k (inclusive of super), depending on experience.

This role will also include a meaningful equity (ESOP) grant, so you can grow with us and share in our success.

5. Hiring process

We keep our process fast and human. You can expect:

• A short screening call
• 1–2 interviews with team members
• A short written or practical exercise
• Final interview and references
• We aim to provide feedback quickly after each stage.
