About Varicon:

Varicon is an innovative, fast-growing startup in the Australian construction tech space. Our platform enables contractors of different sizes to efficiently and substantially reduce their financial risk by enabling real-time visibility into their portfolio's financial management.

We’re building a high-performing, collaborative engineering culture and looking for a passionate Product Owner/Product Manager to help us scale our platform and shape the future of construction technology.

What You'll Be Doing:

Strategy & Discovery (The Why and What)

• Own the Product Strategy: Define the vision, strategy, and roadmap for your product area, ensuring it aligns with Varicon's business goals and market opportunity.
• Deep User Immersion: Lead continuous user research and discovery, conducting interviews, working with civil contractors and in office with finance teams to identify the most critical user pain points.
• Concept Validation & Testing: Validate new ideas and features through prototyping, A/B testing, and usability sessions with real users before development begins.
• Data-Driven Decisions: Define, track, and analyze key metrics (KPIs) to measure product success and inform all prioritization decisions.

Agile Execution & Delivery (The How)

• Product Owner Authority: Act as the Product Owner for a dedicated cross-functional team, owning, grooming, and ruthlessly prioritising the backlog to maximize value delivery.
• Define Requirements: Write clear, concise user stories with comprehensive acceptance criteria that serve as the single source of truth for the engineering team.
• Quality Assurance & Testing: Partner closely with QA to ensure delivered features are high-quality, bug-free, and meet the defined acceptance criteria prior to release.
• Go-to-Market Coordination: Coordinate simultaneous feature releases, working with Sales and Marketing to drive successful launch and adoption.
