Job description

Your new company

Join a major Federal Government transformation program focused on delivering meaningful outcomes for Australia's workforce and skills ecosystem. This high-profile initiative is modernising the way trade and skills recognition services are delivered, helping address critical workforce shortages and improving access to employment opportunities across the country. The program brings together policy, business and technology stakeholders to deliver lasting change and measurable public value.

Your new role

As an experienced Product Manager, you will lead the product vision, roadmap and delivery priorities for a large-scale digital transformation program. Working within a complex Agile environment, you'll collaborate with senior executives, policy teams, operational stakeholders, designers and ICT delivery teams to shape future state services and drive business outcomes. You'll be responsible for balancing user needs, policy objectives, delivery constraints and strategic priorities while ensuring the program remains focused on delivering tangible value. This is an opportunity to influence a nationally significant platform transformation from strategy through to delivery.

What you'll need to succeed

  • Demonstrated experience leading product strategy or product delivery within large-scale digital transformation programs.
  • Proven capability in developing product roadmaps, managing backlogs and prioritising delivery outcomes.
  • Strong experience working in Agile environments, including release planning and stakeholder engagement.
  • The ability to influence and build trusted relationships with senior executives, business leaders and technical teams.
  • Excellent communication skills, with experience preparing executive briefings, governance papers and strategic recommendations.
  • Previous Australian Government experience will be highly regarded.

What you'll get in return

  • Long-term contract opportunity through to June 2027 with extension potential.
  • Flexible working arrangements with opportunities available across Australia.
  • The chance to lead product strategy on a highly visible national transformation initiative.
  • Exposure to complex stakeholder environments spanning government, industry and operational delivery teams.
  • Competitive hourly rates and the opportunity to make a genuine impact on a program delivering important economic and social outcomes.
