Head of Product (+)

The ausbiz team is celebrating six months since we flicked the switch on our daily live stream. We launched the platform in the middle of a pandemic and we’re now more nimble and innovative than when we began. And as we approach 2021 we have big plans to grow, and grow fast.

What’s the role?

We’re not really into titles but if we were, we’d call this role the Head of Product, Technology and Innovation. You’ll be a key member of the management team and consult closely with our advisors and external partners.

Next year we’ll be transforming ausbiz from a pure-play media business to a fintech, and this role will be leading the charge. This is not about simply owning a roadmap or managing a product; it’s a true opportunity to work (fast) across ideation, strategy, development, testing and launch. 

You’ll be responsible for building the team, in-house, external… or a mixture of both. Most importantly, you’ll help figure out what our customers want and how our product can keep them coming back. You’ll share that knowledge with the entire team and help keep everyone on track to deliver a world-class product-market fit.

About you

You’ll have a solid understanding of financial markets/financial products, and love keeping pace with the rapidly evolving sector. 

Data is your friend. You’ll relish finding ways to use data to deliver tangible benefits to our subscribers.

Fintechs are where you thrive and you’ll have experience within a startup or scaleup.

You’ll know how to develop a strategy, but more importantly how to implement one. We’ll be just as impressed by your big-picture thinking as your ability to get sh*t done.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.

  • Demonstrated understanding of the techniques and methods of modern product discovery and product delivery.

  • 4 years working on technology-powered products as a product manager or equivalent. 

  • Demonstrated ability to work multiple functional areas of business – engineering, design, finance, sales, or marketing.

  • Demonstrated ability to solve problems with many constraints, using sound judgement to assess risks, and to lay out your argument in a well-structured, data-informed, written narrative.

  • Proven ability to engage with customers, engineers, designers, and company leaders in a constructive and collaborative relationship.
