"Thinking about your current role, how much involvement do you have in deciding the commercial direction of the product — things like identifying market opportunities, shaping the roadmap, pricing and positioning — versus managing the delivery backlog with Engineering?"

"The role is focused on taking ownership of three established data products, covering data cleansing and matching, integration between different systems, and performance benchmarking.

The customer base is predominantly local government and housing, where organisations are often working with fragmented legacy systems and poor-quality data.

They're looking for someone to own the product strategy and roadmap, understand customer challenges, identify market opportunities and decide how the products should evolve.

It's quite a commercially focused role, involving customer discovery, competitor analysis, product positioning, pricing and supporting new business opportunities.

You'll work closely with engineering and delivery teams, but it's not a delivery-focused Product Manager role. The emphasis is on understanding the market, shaping the product offering and driving commercial growth."
