Product Manager - Regulatory

About us:  

Making a meaningful difference with mission-critical software that empowers communities to thrive.

ReadyTech is more than just a one-trick pony playing in one market with one product, or one customer. We re-imagine, design, develop and deliver technology to solve our customer’s diverse problems – supporting multiple businesses across a variety of markets to be ready for anything. 

We’re an ASX-listed company which means we are stable, have a strong track record of sustainable growth and have a significant number of long-term customers.  So, what does this mean for you? It means we can offer you an experience that will push you to be your best, provide career-building challenges, and that will offer you numerous growth opportunities that can’t be found in any other company.

It’s an inclusive environment where there is no place for politics, where we get our heads together to solve the problems that really matter to our customers, and where we always stay focused on our north star – the communities we serve, and society at large.

• Develop and maintain the end‑to‑end solution definition for Financials across core customer cohorts and varying state legislative environments.
• Lead a dedicated scrum team, owning the product roadmap, backlog, and delivery priorities.
• Facilitate Agile ceremonies, ensuring alignment, transparency, and strong execution cadence.
• Translate complex financial processes (e.g. budgeting, general ledger, AP/AR, procurement, asset accounting, financial reporting, audit and compliance) into clear product requirements and solutions. Collaborate with Engineering, Design, Consulting, Support, Sales, and Presales to ensure the product is positioned, sold, implemented, and supported effectively.
• Conduct customer interviews, discovery workshops, and market analysis to identify opportunities for innovation and efficiency.
• Ensure product quality, regulatory compliance, usability, accessibility, and reliability aligned to Local Government financial standards.
• Launch new features and enhancements with strong governance and stakeholder engagement.

• Provide authoritative product input into government tenders, RFPs, and solution proposals.
• Identify opportunities for product optimisation, modernisation, and functional uplift across financial workflows and reporting.
• Maintain a detailed roadmap aligned to strategic product vision, regulatory change, customer feedback, and market needs.
• Conduct research, discovery workshops, and validation testing with councils to strengthen product‑market fit.
• Author clear product artefacts including user stories, acceptance criteria, process maps, functional specifications, prototypes, and test plans.
• Partner with design teams to transform concepts into wireframes, prototypes, and solution specifications.
• Create enablement content including release notes, training guides, customer documentation, and internal support materials.
• Support sales and marketing teams in product positioning, collateral development, and market insights.
• Measure product success through data, analytics, adoption metrics, and customer outcomes.
• Inform pricing strategies, commercial positioning, and value‑based messaging using evidence and insights.

The key requirements for the role:

• Strong product management capability across discovery, prioritisation, backlog management, delivery, and go‑to‑market readiness.
• Deep functional understanding of Local Government Financial Management processes.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complexity into clarity.

• Creative problem‑solver who thrives in a fast‑paced, dynamic environment.
• Ability to lead indirectly across cross‑functional teams and influence decision‑making.
• Expert knowledge of Local Government financial frameworks, legislation, and compliance requirements.
• Strong understanding of ERP platforms and how Financials integrates with Payroll, Property & Rating, Customer, Regulatory, and Asset domains.
• Working knowledge of Agile delivery practices.
• Familiarity with Jira or similar product tooling is advantageous.
• Demonstrated hands‑on experience working in or alongside Local Government, specifically in finance or corporate services functions.
