[What you will be working on]

We are looking for a

Data Product Manager to lead strategic, data‑centric products that support Whole‑of‑Government policy, operational and decision‑making outcomes.

In this role, you will own the end‑to‑end success of products where data is the primary value driver

— such as enterprise data platforms, authoritative datasets and shared analytics products. You will work closely with senior stakeholders across agencies to shape product vision, prioritise outcomes, and ensure delivery is sustainable, secure and fit for purpose.

This is a

Product Manager role, not a separate data‑specialist role. Strong product leadership is essential, with sufficient data literacy to lead confidently in complex, cross‑agency environments.

Key Responsibilities

for product outcomes across multiple agencies and senior stakeholders.

People & Capability Development

• Role‑model sound product judgement, accountability and outcome ownership.
• Scope of Work

You will typically work on

mission‑critical or cross‑agency products

where data is foundational, such as

• Enterprise or sector‑wide data platforms
• Authoritative government datasets

Shared analytics or reporting products

The role operates at a broader and more complex scope than a Product Manager, often spanning multiple systems, agencies and user groups.

[What we are looking for]

Core Product Skills

• Proven experience in data product management, including product strategy, roadmap ownership and outcome delivery
• Strong ability to manage senior stakeholders and operate in complex, multi‑party environments

Data & Technical Literacy

• Good understanding of modern data platforms and architectures (e.g. ingestion, transformation, analytics, data services)
• Working knowledge of data governance concepts such as data quality, access control and lineage
• Ability to collaborate effectively with engineers, architects, data and security professionals

Leadership Qualities

Clear ownership and accountability for outcomes

• Comfortable working with ambiguity and evolving policy or organisational needs
• Balanced perspective on short‑term delivery and long‑term sustainability

[Why Join Us]

• Lead high‑impact products that shape government‑wide decision‑making and operations
• Work at scale across agencies on complex, meaningful problems
• Operate in a product role with influence over strategy, investment and outcomes
