Job description

As Product Manager for Reporting, you’ll own the client-facing reporting experience across Janison’s assessment products – the reports, dashboards, exports and certificates that schools, education systems and government bodies rely on to understand and improve student outcomes. It’s an end‑to‑end product spanning design, front end and the data that feeds it, serving government education bodies and large organisations across Australia and globally.

You’ll lead a small team of product owners and analysts, prototype reports hands‑on using AI‑assisted tooling, and can look at a chart or table and say precisely why it does or doesn’t work. You’ll collaborate closely with scrum teams to deliver reporting that clients trust.

This role is flexible within Australia, with preference for Sydney, Melbourne, or Coffs Harbour. Core overlap with Australian Eastern time is required, along with occasional travel to client sites and team locations.
