What you'll actually be doing
This role sits within our Product team, reporting to the Group Product Director (AU/NZ).
Identifying gaps between the existing product and what Australian legislation and businesses actually require
Advising the Product Manager on what needs to change, be added, or be cut before launch
Working hands-on in the platform - updating templates, removing irrelevant references, making it market-ready
Reviewing and localising content for the Australian market, state by state
Translating complex regulatory requirements into clear, actionable guidance the product team can work from
You’re the right person if:
You know Australian WH&S legislation deeply - not just the national framework but the state variations (NSW, Victoria, WA and beyond)
You've applied it in the real world - on site, with real businesses, not just from a desk
You're pragmatic - you know the difference between what the legislation says, what businesses actually do, and what a product needs to support
You can sit down on day one with a list of 50 questions and just get stuck in
You've used a WH&S platform before and understand how safety workflows translate into software
You're a clear communicator who can translate complex regulatory requirements for a product team that aren't WH&S specialists
You're as comfortable with the legislative detail as you are with the practical application - we need both, not one or the other
