About
the Role
Power Tech Nexus is the product
company of the Power Tech group. We build and run our own AI-driven software
products for businesses in Australia and the region. We are a small team
growing deliberately, so every hire shapes how the product and the engineering
practice turn out.
As Product Owner, you'll turn
customer needs into a clear, prioritised backlog for our AI products. You'll
sit between customers, the Managing Director, and the engineering team, and
make sure we build the right things in the right order. You'll spend real time
with customers and real time with engineers, and you'll measure whether what we
shipped made a difference.

metrics are tracked, and every significant release is measured against them.

land smoothly, with marketing and customer support ready from day one.
