About the Company
Our client is a software business in the ERP platform mid-market transport and logistics operators market across Australia and New Zealand. They span transport management, warehousing, driver mobility, fleet maintenance and accounting. The next chapter is a new generation of AI-powered capability.

About the Role
A hands-on Product Owner role focused on execution: taking defined initiatives from requirements through prototype to delivery across the core platform and new AI-powered features. You will work closely with developers, carriers, 3PLs and internal stakeholders, leading the day-to-day delivery rhythm and keeping everyone aligned on scope, progress and risk.

Benefits

• Fully remote
• Salary of $105,000 to $125,000 for a permanent, full-time role
• Genuine ownership from requirements through prototype to shipped software, not a backlog-administration role
• Direct access to customers, with real influence over what gets built and in what order
• Work at the front edge of AI in logistics software, shaping how new AI features behave inside a mature platform
• AI tooling used as standard across requirements, design and prototyping rather than treated as an experiment

Duties / Key Responsibilities

• Own defined initiatives through execution and delivery across the core platform and a new generation of AI-powered features, including how those features behave and where human review sits
• Work directly with carriers, 3PLs and internal stakeholders to capture the operational context behind clear requirements
• Define the MVP for each initiative, scoping the smallest release that delivers real value and sequencing what comes next
• Translate requirements into user stories, acceptance criteria, process flows and development specs, and build high-fidelity prototypes that look and behave like the real product
• Lead the delivery rhythm with developers, maintain sprint-ready backlogs, and support testing, demos and defect tracking

Skills and Experience

• 3+ years as a Product Owner or in a comparable product role, writing requirements and supporting delivery teams
• Hands-on transport and logistics experience, either in T&L software (TMS, WMS, fleet or adjacent systems) or in operations at a carrier, 3PL or freight forwarder. This is essential, not preferred
• Practical understanding of how freight operators run: dispatch, linehaul, pickup and delivery, warehousing, fleet and the commercial workflows around them
• AI-native execution, using AI across daily work for prototypes, requirements, design documents and backlogs, with the judgement to verify and correct what it produces
• Experience embedding AI into products, including defining what a feature should do, where its confidence limits sit and how human review fits around it
• Strong MVP definition and backlog prioritisation against customer value and delivery constraints
• Proven ability to run multiple initiatives and backlogs at once without dropping quality
• Working knowledge of frameworks such as Scrum and Kanban, and the judgement to apply the right one
• Confident leading sessions with developers, customers and business stakeholders, comfortable putting early prototypes in front of customers and iterating on the feedback
• Highly organised and delivery-focused, comfortable with the regulatory and operational complexity of transport
• Bachelor's degree in Business, Logistics, Product Design, Engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
