• Drive experimentation, prioritisation and delivery from concept through to launch.

• Influence senior stakeholders and align teams around a shared product vision.

• Measure success through customer adoption, product usage and measurable business outcomes.

What we're looking for

You'll likely bring experience in several of the following:

• Product Management experience within high-growth SaaS or technology businesses.

• Experience building AI-enabled or AI-first products.

• Strong customer discovery and product strategy capability.

• Experience working alongside Engineering, Data Science and Design to deliver innovative products.

• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and turning complex problems into clear product direction.

• Strong commercial judgement with the ability to balance customer value, technical feasibility and business outcomes.

Why you'll love this role

• Own AI strategy within a critical product portfolio used at global scale.

• Build products that fundamentally change how customers complete everyday work.

• Work alongside exceptional Product, Engineering and AI leaders.

• Influence long-term product direction while remaining close to discovery and delivery.

• Join a business making significant investment in AI innovation and product excellence.

This is an opportunity to shape the future of AI within a product-led organisation that is investing heavily in the next generation of intelligent customer experiences.

If you're passionate about building AI products that solve real customer problems and deliver measurable impact, we'd love to hear from you.

• 4+ years of Product Management experience within a B2B SaaS, enterprise software, platform, workflow, or operational technology environment.

• Experience managing complex products with multiple stakeholders, customer groups, and competing priorities.

• Strong product execution capability with a track record of delivering customer and business outcomes.

• Excellent prioritisation skills and the ability to make sound trade-off decisions.

• Exposure to APIs, integrations, platform capabilities, or connected product ecosystems.

• A proactive, high-ownership mindset with the ability to thrive in evolving and fast-moving environments.

• Practical experience using AI, automation, or workflow optimisation tools to improve team or customer outcomes.

Why Apply?

This is an opportunity to join a product-led organisation where Product Managers are trusted to solve meaningful customer problems, influence roadmap decisions, and work on products that are deeply embedded within how businesses operate every day.

If you're a Product Manager who enjoys complexity, loves untangling operational challenges, and thrives when balancing customer value with commercial outcomes, we'd love to hear from you.

You’ll be the hybrid-cloud SME — designing, building, and optimising environments that span on-prem (Hyper-V/VMware) and Azure. You’ll lead big pieces of work: datacentre and hybrid-to-cloud migrations, modernisation projects, hybrid networking, and identity integration.

You’ll keep platforms running smoothly across multiple customers, making sure they’re secure, resilient, and supportable — and you’ll be the escalation point for the tough stuff.

Automation will be a big part of your world: creating repeatable deployment and migration frameworks using PowerShell, PowerCLI, Azure Migrate and similar tools to drive efficiency and consistency.

You’ll lead a small hybrid pod, mentor engineers, and lift capability.

And you’ll work directly with customers: advising on strategy, planning and delivering migrations, optimising hybrid environments, and supporting them through complex operational challenges (including on-call when needed).

You know hybrid inside out with strong experience with on-prem virtualisation and Azure services, and deep knowledge of hybrid networking, identity, migrations, and modernisation.

You script, automate, and build frameworks that scale. You communicate clearly, work well with stakeholders, and can translate challenges into practical, modern hybrid-cloud solutions.

You’ve led or mentored engineers before, ideally in an MSP or consulting environment, and you bring a strategic mindset — someone who can help shape how hybrid cloud is delivered across a large customer base.

Quantitative Analyst

Financial Services Technology | Wealth Management | Actuarial | Sydney

• Join a global financial technology business transforming the way financial advice is delivered 
• Work on meaningful, intellectually challenging problems spanning retirement, investments and insurance
• Build sophisticated modelling frameworks make an impact

The Opportunity

If you're an actuary or quantitative analyst who enjoys solving complex mathematical problems rather than producing the same reports month after month, this is an opportunity to do work that genuinely shapes the future of financial advice.

Joining a leading financial technology business, you'll be responsible for developing and enhancing sophisticated actuarial and quantitative models that underpin retirement, investment and insurance advice solutions used by major financial institutions.

You'll work at the intersection of actuarial science, technology and product innovation, collaborating with engineers, product specialists and industry experts to transform complex legislation and advice strategies into scalable digital solutions.

You'll take ownership of the quantitative frameworks that power a sophisticated advice platform, including:

• Designing, validating and enhancing actuarial and mathematical models
• Solving complex quantitative challenges across wealth, retirement and insurance
• Translating legislation and advice policy into scalable calculation logic
• Working closely with Product and Engineering teams to embed models into technology platforms
• Supporting clients through technical implementation and quantitative enhancements
• Driving continuous improvement across modelling, testing and deployment processes
• Monitoring legislative and taxation changes to ensure models remain accurate and compliant

About You

• 5+ years' experience in actuarial or quantitative analysis within financial services
• Experience across wealth management, investments, superannuation or insurance
• Strong mathematical modelling and analytical capability
• The ability to design and maintain complex financial calculation frameworks
• Advanced Excel skills and exposure to JSON or similar modelling/configuration tools
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to explain complex concepts simply
• A passion for solving challenging quantitative problems in a collaborative environment.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This is more than a traditional actuarial role.

You'll join a business where quantitative expertise directly influences product innovation, client outcomes and the future of digital financial advice. You'll work alongside experienced product, engineering and financial services professionals in an environment that values intellectual curiosity, continuous improvement and innovation.

If you enjoy building solutions, not just analysing them, and want your work to have genuine commercial and customer impact, apply online or call Michelle Rubinstein at The Onset on 0413 463 043.

Software Engineer (Fullstack JavaScript)

AI-First Product Team | Sydney-based 

A few months ago, we helped the team hire their Cyber Security Lead. He's since stepped into the Interim Head of IT role, creating an opportunity for an experienced Security Lead to come in and keep the momentum going.

This is a genuine leadership role focused on:

• Operationalising the company's AI Security & Governance framework.
• Leading identity and access initiatives.
• Providing technical oversight across security operations.
• Mentoring the Security Engineer and partnering with engineering teams to mature security across the business.

They're looking for someone who has led security programs, has strong cloud and identity experience, and is comfortable balancing technical depth with stakeholder engagement. Experience with AI governance or secure AI adoption will be highly regarded.

The role is initially six months, with the successful candidate covering while the current Security Lead steps into the Interim Head of IT position. Depending on how things evolve, there is potential for the engagement to continue.

Russell@theonset.com.au /0438984265

A high energy and outcomes focused consulting firm is bolstering their data engineering capability with a hands-on technical senior to drive platform delivery on a significant government sector engagement. You'll spend your time between the keyboard and the whiteboard: designing production data pipelines, mentoring 2–3 junior engineers, and helping drive technical direction for client deliverables across the Azure, Databricks, and Snowflake stack.

Day to day, you'll be designing and owning production data pipelines and platform components across Azure, Databricks and Snowflake, doing hands-on engineering rather than just oversight, while helping guide the technical direction for client engagements. That means making the calls on architecture, modelling approach and tooling trade-offs, and documenting them clearly enough that clients can run the platform without us. You'll apply and uphold our engineering standards around testing, CI/CD, security and maintainability, and mentor a team of two or three engineers by reviewing their designs and code and lifting the bar for what we ship. Alongside the technical work, you'll scope engagements with clients, manage delivery plans, translate business problems into technical solutions, and support business development through discovery, estimation and proposals.

You'll likely have five to seven years of hands-on data engineering behind you, with a track record of shipping production platforms rather than stalled migrations or prototypes. We're looking for deep expertise across Azure, Databricks and Snowflake.

Just as important is the way you work. You're someone who can guide delivery and people while staying hands-on, communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders, and thrive in a consulting environment with shifting context, multiple clients and direct client contact. Australian citizenship is preferred, but no security clearance is required. Azure Data Engineer or Databricks certifications, streaming and real-time data experience, AI/ML enablement, or a consulting background would all be welcome bonuses.

A hybrid setup, with one or two days a week in the office or on client site and the rest from home, paid professional certifications, and a real opportunity to shape the engineering culture from within.

If you've shipped platforms on this stack and want to stay hands-on while mentoring a small team, apply or get in touch: ronny@theonset.com.au.
