Description

About Future Group

Future Group is not your traditional financial services company – we're a collective of super funds and services committed to changing our planet now for a better tomorrow. When you join us, you’ll become part of a team united by a clear and important mission: to lead the investment movement by advocating and campaigning for a future worth retiring into.

We are looking for a Senior Manager, Product to join our purpose-led, high-growth scale-up. This role exists to lead both the ongoing management and change delivery of Future Group’s product suite across accumulation and retirement. 

You’ll lead a team of Product Managers and work closely with our Head of Product and teams across Operations, Technology, Legal, Risk, Finance, Investments and Disclosure. It’s a role for someone who enjoys bringing people together, navigating complexity and turning good product thinking into well-governed, well-executed outcomes for members. 

Future Group values diverse lived experience and identities, and we strongly encourage applications from people of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander backgrounds, those with caring responsibilities, from culturally and racially marginalised groups, with disabilities, who experience ageism, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and those who face social exclusion due to their social class.

We recognise that the recruitment journey may present unique challenges for trans and gender diverse folk, and we are committed to ensuring an inclusive and accessible recruitment process for all. We will happily make any reasonable adjustments to accommodate diverse needs, so if there is anything we can do to support you at any stage of your application, please let us know. For more information about DEIB at Future Group, please contact us at diversity@futuregroup.com.au.

About The Role As our Senior Manager, Product, you’ll have responsibility for two equally important parts of our product world: keeping our existing products well-managed, competitive and compliant, and leading approved product changes from business case through to implementation. 

On the ongoing product management side, you’ll oversee our accumulation and retirement product suite, including product performance and reporting, competitor benchmarking, APRA reporting, member outcomes assessments, and our DDO and TMD obligations. You’ll help give the Head of Product and senior stakeholders a clear picture of how our products are performing, where the market is moving and where we need to act. 

On the change side, you’ll develop robust business cases and lead product initiatives end-to-end, bringing together teams across Operations, Technology, Legal, Risk, Finance and Disclosure to turn approved ideas into reality. You’ll make sure changes are commercially sound, operationally achievable, compliant and delivered with members front of mind. 

You’ll also lead and develop a team of Product Managers, setting clear priorities and building capability across both ongoing product management and change delivery. 

This is a role with plenty of breadth and influence. You’ll be close to the detail when it matters, while also bringing the judgement and perspective needed to advise on product design, lifecycle decisions, regulatory obligations and delivery risks. 

You'll love this job if

• You find superannuation opaque and frustrating, if you had the chance to revolutionise the industry to be better for people, you would

• You love sharing your ideas and seeing what happens. At this scale-up, you're not just a small fish in a big pond. Your contributions have a direct influence on our impact and how we work

• You like to be kept on your toes - change is inevitable here. You like to tackle new challenges, and maybe even discover talents you never knew you had

• You enjoy the combination of strategy and execution. You can zoom out to understand where a product needs to go, then zoom back in to make sure the details, governance and delivery stack up

• You’re comfortable navigating complexity and regulation without losing sight of the people our products exist to serve

• You thrive at pace, comfortable juggling multiple priorities in a fast-moving environment without losing your composure or attention to detail

• You get energy from bringing different teams together, creating clarity and getting things moving – even when you don’t have direct authority over everyone involved

• You’re a thoughtful people leader who enjoys helping others grow, while setting clear expectations and maintaining a high bar for quality

We're looking for someone who

• Believes in Future Group’s mission and has a passion for moving Australia’s money out of fossil-fuels and into renewable energy

• Believes in using the power of money to build a sustainable and equitable world

• Brings 7+ years’ experience in financial services, including meaningful experience in superannuation product management across accumulation and retirement

• Is a strong all-rounder, with substantive experience spanning insurance, investments and retirement product management, and is comfortable moving fluidly across all three

• Has demonstrated experience leading end-to-end product change in a regulated environment, from developing the business case through to implementation

• Has strong working knowledge of the Australian superannuation regulatory environment, including APRA and ASIC obligations, DDO and SPS 515

• Can develop clear, commercially sound business cases and product documentation for executive or trustee decision-making

• Has experience leading or managing a small team and is motivated by developing great product people

• Is a clear communicator who can make complex product and regulatory concepts understandable to different audiences

• Brings sound judgement, commercial awareness and a structured approach to product governance, documentation and delivery

• Is RG 146 compliant or equivalent and holds a bachelor’s degree in Business, Commerce, Finance, Law or a related discipline (desirable)

Some nice-to-haves but are not essential are:  

• Experience with APRA product reporting and regulatory returns, member outcomes assessments under SPS 515, and DDO obligations including TMD preparation and review

• Experience with competitor benchmarking, APRA heatmaps and the Your Future Your Super performance test

• Experience reviewing or contributing to disclosure documentation such as PDSs, SENs and TMDs

• Experience with Successor Fund Transfers, trustee transition programs or similarly complex product transitions

• Experience working with executive and trustee governance forums

• A postgraduate qualification such as an MBA or Finance qualification, or professional certification such as CA, CPA or FINSIA

Don’t tick all the boxes? That’s okay, we like thinking outside the box anyway. We value skills, passion and who you are over what you’ve done or where you’ve studied. So if this job strikes a chord, we want to hear from you!
