Nearmap is a global property intelligence company redefining how organisations understand and act on the built environment, combining recent aerial imagery, AI analytics, and guaranteed building materials data to delivers a single, trusted source of truth for property decisions.
Job DescriptionWe're looking for a Technical Program Manager (internally known as Technical Product Delivery Manager — someone who sits at the intersection of engineering and delivery, and who gets a genuine kick out of making complex technical programs happen, and delivering sophisticated technical products.
This role requires someone who understands ML and AI systems at a fundamental level, with proven experience delivering complex API-based products.
What You'll Be Doing
Delivery Ownership
- Take full ownership of on-time, in-scope delivery outcomes across your area of responsibility
- Proactively manage programs of work, identify risks and dependencies early, and keep commitments on track
- Be the Product Owner for your development team — write clear user stories, run sprint ceremonies, and keep things moving
Requirements & Analysis
- Work closely with Product Managers and technical leads to translate product requirements into clear, actionable technical requirements
- Ask the right questions — a lot of them — before committing to a direction
- Synthesise competing priorities and inputs into practical delivery decisions grounded in data
Stakeholder Management
- Manage the boundary between agreed scope and incoming ad hoc requests — confidently and constructively
- Keep stakeholders informed on progress, risks, and dates without surprises
- Navigate the tension between product and engineering with resilience and good judgment
Process & Improvement
- Contribute to team-wide process improvement — we're actively building out our ways of working and we want someone who'll bring ideas to the table
- Help shape templates, rituals, and delivery frameworks as the team scales
What You'll Bring
Required
- 5+ years in a technical delivery, product owner, or technical program management role — hands-on, not just “So, how’s the project going?”
- Strong technical depth and experience in SaaS development and deployment — enough to understand and facilitate discussion on architecture, technical constraints and effort/quality trade-offs
- Proven experience in Agile/Scrum delivery environments — ceremonies, backlog management, sprint planning
- Excellent requirements elicitation and analytical skills — you ask why before you act
- Strong stakeholder management — you can push back firmly and keep relationships intact
- High tolerance for ambiguity — and the drive to reduce it over time
- Experience in a SaaS, tech, or scale-up environment (< ~1,000 employees strongly preferred)
- East Coast Australia based; full working rights
Highly Desired
- Background as a software developer or technical IC who moved into delivery
- Experience with geospatial, computer vision, or data-heavy platforms
- Familiarity with AWS, cloud infrastructure, or data pipelines
- Experience scaling products or platforms across regions
What This Role Is Not
This is a delivery role, not a product management role — but that doesn't mean that you don't have influence. You'll hold Product Managers accountable for solid business requirements, bring expertise to structuring and sequencing the product roadmap and informing the user research direction, and use your technical delivery insight to propose the most effective path to market. At Nearmap, sizing and time-to-market are critical planning inputs — and that's your territory.
