Product Manager

Product Manager

Join our Xplor Education Vertical as a Product Manager in Melbourne to make a real impact every day. We say that because we know that every conversation we have, every code line we write and every interface we design is another opportunity for us to enrich our customers' experiences.

Our mission in the Product team at Xplor Education is to empower our team members to think deeply and solve problems in ways that prioritise customer experience while delivering business value. We solve problems that combine experience, behaviour, compliance, ethics, pedagogy, policy, business, and technology. You will encounter problems that are based on very well-defined user experience patterns, and problems that require an open mind and a creative touch.

Reporting into the Director of Product, you'll be working end-to-end on the product development lifecycle and work on opportunity spaces that range from big hairy undefined problems, all the way down to small experiments. Measuring the impact of your decisions along the way. Some of the other responsibilities include:

• Manage the end-to-end product lifecycle from discovery through to release and iteration.
• Implement data-driven strategies to measure success in various ways that ensure customer success and our business goals.
• Communicate our product vision, roadmap and releases to stakeholders and the wider business.
• Test, plan and release new features and products and iterate quickly.
• Work collaboratively with stakeholders in engineering, commercial and the wider Xplor business.
• Identify and quantify the value of existing and new opportunities to help contribute to future initiative planning.
• Contribute to the setting and adherence to project timelines and work capacity planning within the product and design teams.
• Help maintain our Customer Feedback channels such as NPS, Feature Request Voting and App Store Reviews.

For this position, we offer a hybrid and flexible working model, where you will spend 2-3 days per week in the office and the rest working from home.

We are looking for curious and empathetic people. We also love to hear from people who are motivated by meaningful work, resonate with our four core values, have a positive outlook, are comfortable with ambiguity and thrive working in an ever-evolving and complex environment. We are inspired by meeting big picture thinkers and doers, people who can be both tactical and strategic, aim high and put people first in everything they do.

Required qualifications for this role:

• About 2 years of previous experience in a technical or product role.
• Experience in SaaS or familiarity with the childcare industry would be highly valued
• Experience in delivering software in agile teams
• Coordination of all moving parts of the product development process, keeping everyone aligned and working towards a common goal
• Capability to define success metrics for the product and build a roadmap to outline the product vision
• Ability to influence multiple stakeholders without direct authority.
• Ability to grasp technical concepts and communicate them to non-technical stakeholders.
• Be flexible, innovative and above all driven to make a difference.

At Xplor, we believe that the best innovation and ideas happen at the intersections of our differences - people of diverse cultures, generations, disciplines, and lived experiences. So even if you think you do not tick all the boxes, we still encourage you to apply.

Our five core values guide us from how we hire and recognise our team members to how we interact with our customers day to day:

• Find a better way
• Do the right thing
• Say it straight
• Win together
• Own the outcome

If these values sound like you, and describe people you want to work with, you will thrive at Xplor.

As an Xplorer, you will be part of a global network of talented colleagues who will support your success. We look for commonalities and shared passions and give people the tools they need to deliver great work and grow at speed.
