Technical Product Manager

Rodney North Shore, New Zealand Tribe (New Zealand) Limited Full time

About the Opportunity

We're looking for a Technical Product Manager with a strong engineering foundation who is ready to take ownership of a product area within a complex, cloud-based ecosystem. This role suits someone who may have come from a software engineering, DevOps, or platform engineering background and is now moving toward product leadership.

You will work at the intersection of business, engineering, and strategy — helping define the roadmap, lead discovery, and ensure product decisions are technically sound. Your experience with Kubernetes, Terraform, Git, and modern cloud infrastructure will allow you to collaborate deeply with engineering teams and support high-quality execution.

This role combines strategic thinking with hands-on product ownership and strong technical insight.

What You'll Do

  • Own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for your product area
  • Work closely with engineering teams to understand platform capabilities, system architecture, and delivery constraints
  • Support engineers by clarifying requirements, identifying trade-offs, and driving prioritisation
  • Translate user needs and business objectives into clear, concise requirements and user stories
  • Lead customer and stakeholder discovery to validate problems and opportunities
  • Partner with design, engineering, data, and platform teams throughout the development lifecycle
  • Track product performance, identify improvements, and drive iteration

What You'll Bring

  • Experience as a Product Manager, Product Owner, or senior-level engineer transitioning into product

  • Strong technical background with practical exposure to:

  • Kubernetes or container orchestration

  • Terraform or infrastructure-as-code tools
  • Git/GitOps workflows
  • Modern cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP)
  • Ability to bridge engineering and product thinking — comfortably discussing architectural implications while staying focused on user and business value
  • Experience working in agile, cross-functional teams
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to define and measure product success
  • Excellent communication skills, capable of simplifying complex topics for a diverse audience.
