Job Description

Technical Product Owner | E-commerce

Marketplace & E-commerce | Sydney | Permanent | Hybrid

• Own digital product delivery and improve online customer journeys.
• Partner directly with the CTO and lead development agency delivery.
• Bring your marketplace or e-commerce experience into automotive.

Work with his leading automotive e-commerce leader in digital product delivery, lead external agencies and improve customer journeys. Bring your marketplace or e-commerce experience.

The opportunity

Reporting directly to the CTO, you’ll work to agree priorities, then own the detail from requirements through to release and improvement.

Your remit will span customer-facing websites, online purchasing journeys and the integrations behind them. The role combines roadmap input with hands-on product ownership. You’ll turn business needs into clear requirements, challenge development proposals, guide external agencies and follow releases through to measurable results.

If you enjoy understanding the problem as much as getting the solution live, there’s plenty to get involved in.

What you’ll own

• Roadmaps and priorities: Contribute to product roadmaps and translate agreed priorities into a clear, deliverable backlog.
• Backlog and requirements: Turn opportunities into clear user stories, acceptance criteria and manageable pieces of work.
• Agency delivery: Lead external development partners, challenge estimates and technical recommendations, and hold delivery to agreed standards.
• Testing and releases: Coordinate UAT, manage defect resolution and make sure changes are ready for customers.
• Product performance: Measure customer behaviour, adoption and conversion, then use the evidence to guide improvements.
• Stakeholder decisions: Explain costs, dependencies and trade-offs so people can make informed choices.

What you’ll bring

You’ve worked as a Product Manager or Product Owner across marketplace, e-commerce or transactional digital products, with clear examples of what you owned and the outcomes you delivered.

You’ll also bring:

• Technical confidence to discuss APIs, integrations and development approaches, and challenge recommendations when needed.
• Experience managing external development agencies or software delivery partners.
• Hands-on capability across prioritisation, requirements, testing and release management.
• A track record of using data and customer insight to improve digital journeys.
• Commercial judgment and the ability to work through competing priorities in a smaller business.

A background in software development or technical leadership would be valuable. Automotive experience is welcome; relevant marketplace or e-commerce product experience is the priority.

Why consider it

You’ll work directly with the CTO, contribute to priorities across several businesses and see your work through from initial requirements to customer impact. It’s a role for someone who enjoys broad responsibility and staying close to delivery.

Sydney based, with Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday in the office. Monday and Friday offer the option to work from home.
