About the Role

The Director of Product Operations is a newly created, strategically critical role responsible for building and leading ROLLER's Product Operations function from the ground up.

This role reports directly to the Chief Product & Technology Officer (CPTO) and works in close partnership with Product, Engineering, and Go-To-Market leaders. You'll play a central role in evolving how our Product organisation operates as it scales significantly in both size and capability.

Your mandate is to amplify the effectiveness of our Product organisation at scale. You'll create the systems, insights, and operating rhythm that allow Product Managers to focus on high-impact product leadership rather than operational drag.

Sitting at the intersection of strategy, planning, insights, delivery, and systems, you'll help ensure the organisation is aligned on what we're building, why it matters, and how we measure success. This work directly supports ROLLER's long-term ambition of powering 1 billion guest experiences by 2034.


What You'll Do

Build and Lead Product Operations

  • Establish ROLLER's Product Operations function, including vision, scope, operating model, and success measures
  • Define how Product Ops supports squads, tribes, and leadership without adding bureaucracy

Own Product Planning and Alignment

  • Design and drive product planning cycles that connect strategy, roadmap, delivery, and outcomes
  • Ensure GTM, market feedback, and customer insights are accurately incorporated into product strategy
  • Create clarity and alignment across the organisation on product goals, roadmap, priorities, and performance

Enable Product Strategy and Decision-Making

  • Support product leaders with market, customer, and internal insights that inform strategic decisions and trade-offs
  • Provide synthesis and context for forward-looking exploration (new geographies, verticals, and opportunities)

Own Product System and Decision-Making

  • Own and evolve product tooling and workflows (e.g. Jira, roadmapping, prioritisation, tooling governance)
  • Ensure systems serve teams, not the other way around

Create Signal from Noise

  • Build structured feedback loops across support, sales, customer success, demos, research, and internal channels
  • Turn fragmented input into clear, actionable insights for squads and leadership

Drive Delivery Excellence

  • Partner with PMs to improve prioritisation, execution, and cross-team coordination
  • Implement delivery rituals and practices that improve predictability while maintaining velocity

Enable Research and Data-Informed Product

  • Own research enablement (tooling, frameworks, standards), while execution remains with PMs and Design
  • Partner with data teams to ensure product teams have timely, trusted insights embedded into decision-making

About You
  • You are a product-minded operator and multiplier, not an idealist.
  • You’ve demonstrated multiplier impact in Product Operations, Product Enablement, or similar roles, measurably improving the effectiveness, focus, or velocity of product teams.
  • You are a hands-on operator or player-coach, equally comfortable rolling up your sleeves and setting direction, while coaching others to succeed.
  • You are outcome-oriented, focused on driving meaningful results rather than activity, process, or change for its own sake.
  • You bring strong product strategy instincts, with depth that goes well beyond tools, frameworks, or systems.
  • You communicate clearly and constructively, influencing through trust, credibility, and results rather than bureaucracy.
  • You’re comfortable operating in high-velocity environments where priorities shift, and you know how to create alignment without slowing teams down.
  • You are highly analytical, able to synthesise qualitative and quantitative inputs into clear insights, direction, and trade-offs.
  • You balance long-term strategic thinking with decisive execution, and you’re comfortable building a function from scratch, defining workflows, implementing tools, and iterating as the organisation scales.

Perks!
  • You'll get to work on a category-leading product that customers love in a fun, high-growth industry! Check our Capterra and G2 reviews.
  • 4 ROLLER Recharge days per year (When we hit our goals each quarter, we take a well-earned day off together to relax, recharge, and celebrate our wins).
  • Engage in our 'Vibe Tribe' - led by our team members; you can contribute to company-wide initiatives directly. Regular events and social activities, fundraising & cause-related campaigns...you name it. We're willing to make it happen!
  • Team Member Assistance Program to proactively support our team's health and wellbeing - access to coaching, education modules, weekly webinars, and more.
  • 16 weeks paid Parental Leave for primary carers and 4 weeks paid Parental Leave for secondary carers.
  • Work with a driven, fun, and switched-on team that likes to raise the bar in all we do!
  • Individual learning & development budget plus genuine career growth opportunities as we continue to expand!

What You Can Expect
  1. Initial call with our Talent Team
    You'll have an initial call with our Talent Team to chat through some of your experience to date, salary expectations and you can check off any initial questions you might have.
  2. Interview with the Chief Product & Technology Officer (CPTO)
    A deeper discussion on the role, ROLLER’s product and technology direction, and your experience to date, with particular focus on your suitability for a high-growth, scaling organisation like ROLLER.
  3. Interview with the Chief of Staff (Product)
    A conversation focused on how the role operates day to day, how Product Operations supports the organisation, your experience operating in scaling environments, and the opportunities to work more effectively with the Go-To-Market organisation.
  4. Collaboration Session
    You’ll be invited to our office to present and discuss your approach to product operations and product leadership. This session focuses on how you think about solving customer problems, driving outcomes, and working cross-functionally with Product Managers, Product and Engineering leadership. It’s a chance to share your style, what motivates you, and the impact you can have at ROLLER.
  5. Loop Interviews
    Meet other cross functional senior leaders and people you’ll work closely with. You’ll learn more about their work, ask questions, and share how you like to collaborate and operate.
  6. Offer
    If all lights are green and the fit feel right, we'll conduct reference checks and you'll receive an offer to join!

What you need to know about the Melbourne Tech Scene

Home to 650 biotech companies, 10 major research institutes and nine universities, Melbourne is among one of the top cities for biotech. In fact, some of the greatest medical advancements were conceptualized and developed here, including Symex Lab's "lab-on-a-chip" solution that monitors hormones to predict ovulation for conception, and Denteric's vaccine for periodontal gum disease. Yet, the thousands of people working in the city's healthtech sector are just getting started, to say nothing of the tech advancements across all other sectors.
