Product Owner (App & Web)

Full Time

Melbourne, Australia

Hybrid - 2 days per week in our Fitzroy office (Cipher HQ)

The role

Cipher Sports Technology Group builds data-driven sports products used by millions of fans globally. We are looking for an execution-focussed Product Owner to serve as the critical operational engine driving conversion and retention on our flagship brand Dimers’ mobile app and web experiences.

Reporting directly to the Co-Founder & Head of Product, you will act as their delivery champion - translating high-level company vision, core differentiators, and strategic business initiatives into customer-centric product iterations & features. You are the ultimate \"doer\" who loves managing technical details, structuring complex backlogs, and ensuring smooth deployments.

Your thrill comes from making strategy a reality, tracking product value, and keeping our cross-functional teams moving in perfect sync.

What you'll own

• Delivery & Backlog Management: Act as the operational bridge between leadership and engineering. Turn concepts and designs into implementation-ready technical specs, user stories, and acceptance criteria.


• Technical Scoping & Core Integrations: Partner closely with engineering to handle the technical details of our B2C stack, making designs a reality. You will map out requirements and write logic for authentication loops, payment gateways (Stripe), in-app purchase orchestrators (RevenueCat), and customer data platforms (Braze).


• Replaying Outcomes & Business Impact: You don't just ship code and walk away. You will actively track post-launch metrics, tie them back to the original business goals, and replay the outcomes back to the wider business.


• End-to-End QA & Framework Deployment: Own the quality of what hits production. Hands-on testing, defect triaging, and managing deployment cycles across both our web and native mobile app frameworks, ensuring zero friction points in our payment, sign-up, or log-in flows.


• Subscription & Lifecycle Engine Management: Own the operational health of our premium subscription layer. You will be hands-on with user flows, conversion funnels, and retention hooks that turn visitors into paying subscribers.


• Stakeholder Communication: Ingest initiatives from various business leaders (Editorial, Marketing, Commercial), realise the value, and keep everyone in sync on the delivery roadmap.

About you

Key Qualifications & Mindset

• Hands-on Execution & B2C Delivery: Proven track record managing user-facing transactional products across Web and Native Mobile Apps. Deep operational experience with subscription mechanics, authentication flows, payment systems, and in-app purchase orchestration.


• AI-Native Workflow: You use generative AI tools as a core part of your daily workflow. You leverage AI to draft specifications faster, analyse complex datasets, brainstorm edge cases for QA, and communicate changes clearly, allowing you to operate with the output velocity of a much larger team.


• Sports & Wagering Domain Knowledge: Strong interest or experience in dynamic sports data, analytics, or wagering platforms.


• High-Agency, Low-Ego Mindset: Highly collaborative doer who thrives on solving messy problems, implementing new systems, and transparently communicating outcomes back to the business.


• Technical Literacy: Fluent in technical conversations with engineering regarding APIs, data pipelines and tech stacks.


• Location: Based in Melbourne, Australia with full working rights and ability to work in our Fitzroy HQ at least 2 days per week.

Highly valued / Bonus

• Background or strong interest in Product Marketing with the ability to help frame how we present new features or premium tiers to our users.


• Startup or scale-up experience where wearing multiple execution and delivery hats is normal, or desire to work in this type of environment.


• Experience with SEO and AI search engine discoverability trends to optimise organic traffic and feature exposure.
