\n
• Product strategy, growth, innovation, and optimisation

• AUSTRAC reform and cross-initiative coordination
\n
• Translation of regulatory and business requirements
\n
• Lifecycle delivery and operational readiness

• Product performance, profitability, insights, and reporting
\n
• Business Risk appetite and regulatory compliance

We're looking for a commercially minded product leader with strong experience navigating complex product environments and delivering customer-focused outcomes.

You'll bring:

\n
• Deep subject-matter expertise across the international payments ecosystem, including payment infrastructure, correspondent banking, foreign exchange, distribution channels, operations, pricing, controls, and technologies such as SWIFT.
\n
• Strong strategic problem-solving capability, with experience converting complex customer, regulatory, operational, and commercial challenges into clear product opportunities, strategic choices, and actionable roadmaps.
\n
• Demonstrated ability to interpret product performance, profitability, customer, competitor, and market-insight data to identify priorities, shape investment cases, and continuously refine product roadmaps.
\n
• Significant experience leading complex regulatory and transformation change within banking, financial services, or payments, including end-to-end impact assessment across products, processes, controls, procedures, technology, operations, and people.
\n
• Commercial acumen and strong analytical capability, with confidence using qualitative, quantitative, and financial information to inform decisions, manage portfolio performance, and support sustainable growth.
\n
• Excellent stakeholder leadership and influencing skills, with a track record of aligning diverse teams, clarifying ownership, resolving dependencies, and building trusted relationships across business, technology, operations, risk, compliance, and delivery functions.
