Why this role is different
- Total Ownership: You are the primary POC for all product decisions. You don't just "manage" features; you architect the logic from the ground up
- No "Jira Jockies": We offload administrative project management to Engineering leads so you can focus on deep work and strategy
- Influence: You report to the CPO and serve as the expert voice for Engineering, Design, and Commercial teams
- Focus: Clear documentation is our primary mode of coordination. You are not pushing pixels or running visual UI tests, or running basic sales demos for the commercial team
- Solution Architecture: Take raw problems and turn them into high-detail functional specs. You own the "how it works" before Design prototypes or Engineering builds
- Proactive Stewardship: Audit the existing product. Use raw data, feedback from internal stakeholders, user research, support tracks and bug reports as discovery tools to "turbocharge" the user experience.
- User Authority: Conduct your own deep-dive research with teachers and students to become the company's leading source of user truth
- Vision Guardian: Use our Product Vision Document to filter requests. Be the "ruthless prioritizer" who says no to noise to protect product integrity
- The Startup Grind: 7+ years in PM, with at least 3 years in a Series B/C scale-up (30-150 people). You thrive in chaos and build your own playbooks
- Technical Depth: You aren't afraid of APIs or database schemas. You can hold your own in a logic debate with a Lead Engineer
- Complex SaaS/EdTech: Experience in "heavy logic" environments (LMS integrations, Fintech, or B2B workflow tools)
- High Agency: You see a friction point and draft a spec to fix it before anyone asks. You "take" responsibility; you don't wait for it
We measure impact by the Trust and Clarity you build across the team.
In 3 Months, success looks like:
- Source of Truth: You answer complex logic questions from Sales and Engineering without consulting the CPO
- Airtight Specs: Your first three "Blueprints" move to build with zero rewrites or logic-gap queries
- Proactive Auditing: You've identified three "hidden" friction points in the product and mapped their improvement
- High Agency: You've turned feedback and data into validated product insights without being prompted
- The Trusted Advisor: Engineering and Design proactively seek your "Logic Review" before starting work
- Visionary Cohesion: New features feel like a single, elegant ecosystem, not a collection of fragmented tools
- Turbocharged Product: We see a measurable drop in support tickets and a market-leading "Ease of Use" reputation
- Operational Flow: You maintain a consistent sustainably intense work-week because your documentation is so clear it eliminates "emergency" meetings
- A flexible working culture where you have the option to work from Melbourne HQ for 3 days of the week. More if you are interested
- A diverse and inclusive workplace where there are no barriers to anyone succeeding
- A surrounding team of mission-driven individuals who genuinely love what they do
