Thanks for stopping by. We know job hunting can be a little time consuming and you're probably keen to find out what's on offer, so we'll get straight to the point.

  • Facilitate continual improvement rituals to build the effectiveness of product development and engineering teams.
  • Build a culture and environment to achieve excellence and innovation.
  • Build partnerships with cross-functional teams to influence decisions, drive alignment and prioritisation.
  • Partner with the TPM specialty to help codify and build the TPM craft and practice.

You're probably a match if

  • A minimum of 5+ years TPM experience at a SaaS company & hands on experience in driving large programs of work.
  • Have experience with product lead growth or product lead sales motions. Understanding what customer actions could signal intent to move through the conversion funnel for B2B users.
