The Senior Product Manager will enhance JAX Foundations by defining product experiences, collaborating with engineering and design teams, and driving user insights for decision making.
Our Purpose
At Xero, we’re here to help you supercharge your business. We do this by automating routine tasks, surfacing actionable insights and connecting businesses with the right data, advisors and apps. When that happens, we’re not only making life better for small business, we’ll be building a stronger economy that can change the world.
Context:
Xero is on a mission to reinvent financial and business intelligence through AI, to help millions of businesses globally. AI is a top priority at Xero, and we’ve been investing heavily in this area. We’re currently building JAX (in beta), Xero’s genAI-powered agent to handle financial and business advisory tasks. And we’re investing in AI/ML throughout our products, including efforts such as document extraction, predictive analytics, and personalization / recommendations.
Role:
We’re looking for a Lead Product Manager to join the AI team to support JAX Foundations. This person must have built user-facing consumer experiences, and have a strong interest in building AI products. Prior AI experience is a plus, but not required. Prior 0 to 1 experience is also a plus (building a product from scratch).
This person will be responsible for the “Foundations” of JAX, meaning the horizontal elements that cut across multiple JAX features. Example projects include user identity and permissions, horizontal design components, chat history, preferences/privacy, user feedback, Beta opt-in/disclosures, error messages. This person will also drive the vision for strategic horizontal investments including personality, memory, visualizations, etc. This is an important role to ensure that JAX is a high quality product that’s understandable and easy to use, and to evolve the overall JAX experience.
We’re looking for someone with customer obsession, strong product and design sense, strong cross functional collaboration skills, and a hustle “move fast” mindset. Come join us as we push the boundaries of technology and reinvent financial intelligence!

What you need to know about the Sydney Tech Scene
From opera to comedy shows, the Sydney Opera House hosts more than 1,600 performances a year, yet its entertainment sector isn't the only one taking center stage. The city's tech sector has earned a reputation as one of the fastest-growing in the region. More specifically, its IT sector stands out as the country's third-largest, growing at twice the rate of overall employment in the past decade as businesses continue to digitize their operations to stay competitive.
