Technical Product Owner – Transact
About IR
IR (Integrated Research) is an Australian based ASX listed company with operations in Asia, Europe and North America. IR provides observability products that offer real-time performance monitoring of technology infrastructure including identifying points of failure or degradation. Some of the world’s largest companies trust IR to monitor their mission-critical technology, ensuring they can operate optimally each and every day.
Although IR’s legacy is long and prestigious, the company is now shifting into growth phase, with Product at the heart of its new strategy. This means we’re building out our Product capability for scale and success.
We are now looking for a Technical Product Owner to work closely with our Product Director, Head of Product, Product Marketing and engineering teams to turn strategy into actionable delivery. This role will be critical in ensuring our roadmap translates into high-quality outcomes for customers.
What is Transact
Transact is IR’s payments observability product.
Our Transact & Infrastructure products allow customers to observe their end-to-end payment processing technology and platforms (Transact) as well as mission critical technology infrastructure (Infrastructure). With our Products being used in some of the world’s largest banks (including tier one Australian banks) Transact & Infrastructure are both considered the global industry benchmark for monitoring performance of their respective domains.
It is used by banks and financial institutions to monitor payment systems end to end, helping teams detect performance issues, failures or degradation across complex payment environments before customers are impacted.
Transact does not process payments or replace core banking systems. It provides visibility, insight and intelligence across existing payment platforms and infrastructure.
The Role
This is a delivery-focused, execution-heavy Technical Product Owner role.
You will work closely with the Product Director, Head of Product, Product Marketing and Engineering to translate product strategy and roadmap intent into clear, build-ready delivery.
This role exists to bring clarity, structure and momentum to complex, mission-critical product work, ensuring engineering teams can execute with confidence and quality.
What You’ll Be Responsible For
- Translating product vision and roadmap into detailed, actionable user stories, requirements and acceptance criteria
- Owning and prioritising the product backlog, balancing customer value, technical feasibility and delivery constraints
- Working sprint-to-sprint with engineering to clarify scope, answer questions and unblock delivery
- Collaborating closely with Product leadership, Design and Engineering to ensure work is well-defined and achievable
- Engaging with Sales, Customer Success and customers to incorporate real-world feedback into delivery
- Managing dependencies across complex systems and platforms
- Supporting go-to-market readiness for releases in partnership with Product Marketing
- Championing strong Agile delivery practices and continuous improvement
What Will Help You Succeed
- 6+ years’ experience as a Technical Product Owner, Senior Product Owner or similar role
- Strong experience working in complex, technical or enterprise SaaS environments
- Proven ability to translate ambiguous ideas into clear requirements and delivery artefacts
- Comfort working closely with engineers on deeply technical problems
- A pragmatic, outcome-driven mindset with high attention to detail
- Confidence operating in ambiguity and bringing structure where it does not yet exist
- Strong communication skills and the ability to work with global teams across time zones
- Experience in payments, financial services, or highly regulated environments is helpful but not required.
Important to know:
- This is a hybrid role with 3 days a week in our Sydney CBD office.
- You will be actively engaging with teams in North America, Asia and Europe which means flexible hours might be required some days to have overlap and engagement (we’re mindful of work / life balance so we’ll work through what this could look like for you).
