Product Manager (Contract)

Dogs, cats, budgies and everything in between - pets deserve the world. They make us want to be better humans. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to build the most engaged and passionate community of pets and pet parents across the world. And we’re looking for talented team mates who can help us do it.

Founded in Sydney, our team of 500+ pet obsessives span Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines. We’ve scaled to become one of Australia's top five eComm companies and the no.1 online pet store. But we’re just getting started. Like a whippet who’s spotted their mate across the dog park, our growth is only going to accelerate, as we continue to disrupt the way that pet parents shop.

Excitingly, the pet industry is booming (as in $15 billion kind of booming) and online pet retail is set to grow exponentially in the next five years. So this is a unique career opportunity to be part of our epic growth story.

The opportunity

We’re looking for a delivery-focused Product Manager to sit within the Product team but be 100% dedicated to Pet Circle’s New Ventures portfolio. The goals and key work pieces are already defined - what we need is someone who can drive the “how”: shaping requirements, coordinating partners, unblocking teams, and ensuring smooth delivery across Technology and external agencies.

This role becomes the key point of coordination between our Ventures team, Engineering, Design, and agency partners, freeing up our VP Engineering from being the default escalation or detail owner. We know what we need to do - we need to make it deliverable

You’ll be turning our existing roadmap into executable product requirements, processes, timelines, and structured workflows. We foresee this being a 3 month contract (with the possibility to extend).

What you’ll do

  • Translate business-defined work into actionable product requirements, user stories, specs, and acceptance criteria.
  • Shape the delivery approach - workflows, dependencies, sequencing, and coordination between Tech and external agencies.
  • Own requirements clarity for Engineering, Design, Data, and vendors.
  • Manage scope and alignment: ensure everyone is working off the same understanding.
  • Coordinate day-to-day delivery, ensuring progress, resolving ambiguity, and removing blockers.
  • Run stand-ups/rituals for the venture streams as needed.
  • Liaise with external agencies, reviewing deliverables, answering questions, and escalating decisions quickly.
  • Act as the single source of truth for venture-related product execution.

Role location

We believe that building connections and collaborating as Pet Circlers is super important. So this role is based in Sydney with a hybrid arrangement of 2-3 days per week in our pet friendly offices (your pet might love coming to the office even more than you). This is subject to change in line with business requirements.

Why Join?

We reckon our mission to help the world Pet Better is an important one, but also an incredibly fun and rewarding one. Becoming a Pet Circler means you’re committed to help shape an entire industry - it’s pretty exciting stuff. Here’s what we stand for:

  • We're better together
  • We operate with humble hearts and hungry minds
  • Pets matter' so pets and pet parents always have a seat at our table
  • We're instinctively curious. Always.

Belong at Pet Circle

Our unique perspectives and expertise is our superpower - we value diversity in all forms. So, no matter your background, please apply if this role makes you excited to bring your full self to work each day.
