Life at SEEK

SEEK’s purpose is at the centre of everything we do. Our SEEK, which defines the way we work, is all about what makes us unique and a little bit different. Passion, Team, Delivery and Future are our principles that drive innovation and creativity. SEEK strives to support employee wellbeing by providing an amazing experience at work which led us to being named AFR BOSS Top 10 Best Places to Work in Technology (2021-2024). We are proud to work in an environment that's inclusive where everyone's unique ideas, experiences and perspectives are valued.

Our award-winning head office in Cremorne (just a 4 min walk from Richmond station) provides an exceptional space to collaborate with colleagues. The building provides sweeping views of the city, a games area, sit and stand desks at every workstation, modern end-of-trip facilities and Thursday night drinks which gives our people an opportunity to connect in a social setting.

Why This Role?

If you're energised by experimentation, building from scratch, and influencing product-market fit in real time—this is your chance to lead the charge. Reporting to the Head of Product – Pay for Placement & Recruiter Reputation, and part of SEEK’s Growth & Incubation portfolio, you’ll shape early-stage product ideas into real solutions that deliver value and revenue through actual placements.

This isn’t a role for perfectionists. It’s for the fast-movers, the bold thinkers, and the builders who thrive in ambiguity. You’ll work at the edge of innovation—applying AI and other emerging tech to reshape how hirers and candidates connect.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Own and evolve early-stage Pay for Placement products—experiment, iterate, and drive towards product-market fit
• Lead a cross-functional squad including Engineers, UX Designers and Analysts to deliver outstanding customer experiences
• Drive discovery and experimentation with a focus on rapid testing and continuous learning
• Measure what matters—adoption, placement rates, revenue growth and reuse
• Partner with Commercial, Strategy, and Sales to align on go-to-market and product performance
• Mentor and lead a talented team of Product Managers, building capability and fostering a dynamic, delivery-focused culture
• Engage across SEEK—ensuring a seamless experience within our broader product and platform ecosystem
• Make hard calls—scale the models that work, sunset the ones that don’t
• Stay close to the customer—leveraging qualitative and quantitative insights to inform every product decision

The Opportunity

You’ll be part of a passionate, high-impact team shaping SEEK’s future in performance-based hiring. We move fast, think big, and care deeply about solving meaningful customer problems. Whether you’re based in Melbourne or Kuala Lumpur, you’ll work closely with leaders across Product, Engineering, Strategy and Commercial to drive tangible outcomes in the market.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong product leadership with a track record of launching and scaling products in fast-paced, ambiguous environments
• Commercial mindset—you understand how products drive revenue and know how to optimise for growth
• Customer-obsessed—you uncover both stated and unstated needs, and deliver solutions that solve real problems
• Confident communicator and collaborator—you build strong stakeholder relationships and influence outcomes across teams
• Action-oriented—you move quickly, course-correct often, and don’t get stuck in the weeds
• Experience leading product teams—you’ve coached others to success and cultivated a high-performing product culture

At SEEK we offer:

• Support of flexible working, including a mix of office and work from home days depending on your role.
• Paid and unpaid leave benefits including Personal Flexi Days and Volunteer Days, as well as the opportunity to purchase additional leave
• SEEK is committed to operating sustainably, certified carbon neutral for its business operations (through Climate Active), purchasing renewable energy for our office and working-from-home emissions and a target for net zero by 2030. 
• The opportunity to work from anywhere for up to 4 weeks per financial year
• SEEKer Support, a confidential service that offers employees up to six sessions with a mental health professional of your choice
• Free income protection insurance

At SEEK, we are passionate about fostering a culture of inclusion and wellbeing that embraces and values the diversity of our people. We are a purpose driven business that works with heart.

We know teams with diverse ideas, experiences and perspectives are more creative and are critical to ensuring effective delivery and innovating to enable our future success.
