Product manager role at an Australian fintech scale-up in Sydney: you'd own one of two lean squads (7 engineers + designer) building a consumer personal finance app with an AI-driven risk engine, shipping several initiatives per sprint. Up to $160k base + super.
Digital Product Manager The opportunity: This is a rare PM seat within an Aussie FinTech scale-up where the distance between a product decision and a commercial result is measured in days, not quarters.
Their award-winning app gives hundreds of thousands of customers fairer access to personal finance, backed by an AI-driven risk engine that assesses every application in real time and approves in seconds.
To be clear about what that takes: There's no quarterly planning here, no one-initiative-at-a-time, no delivery layer between product and engineering. If that's exactly what you're trying to escape, keep reading.
What you're walking into:
Product runs as two lean squads, each led by a PM, with the Head of Product across both. You'd own one of them outright.
Your squad: seven engineers and a dedicated designer, with data science and analytics specialists sitting alongside you rather than in another building. There's no BAs, no delivery managers, no analyst producing your morning report.
You set the direction, write the requirements and drive the build; with a fellow PM running the other squad as a peer to collaborate with, not a layer above you.
Five or six initiatives run in parallel, on a sprint cadence. The rhythm: start in the numbers you pulled yourself. Spot what moved, work out why, size the upside, write the requirements, ship it this sprint, measure it next. Go again.
Who this suits:
A PM currently operating at pace, several initiatives on your plate right now, shipping on sprint timelines, and specific about what's live this week
Someone who has owned a consumer journey end to end, application, onboarding, checkout or activation, and carried the numbers, not just the delivery
Self-sufficient in data: SQL or equivalent (Python, Looker, Tableau, Power BI), you interrogate your own numbers before anyone briefs you
A doer by habit: you write the requirements, sit with the engineers, test the edge cases, make the call
Commercially fluent: you can say what your work did to revenue, margin or quality, not just to a conversion rate
Someone who drives a squad by creating momentum, collaborative, never passive
Domain background in credit, fintech or payments helps, but pace and ownership beat domain here, people have joined without it and learned fast
