Job Description

The Role

AI Product Managers at SEEK are a specialisation of the Product Manager role – they form the critical connection between SEEK’s strategy and customer ambitions, and the possibilities that can be unlocked by AI and data. AI Product Managers work within cross-functional teams with Data Scientists, Engineers and other specialists, who build AI and data-driven products to solve our most important customer and business problems.

The Pricing and Performance team works at the intersection of SEEK’s commercial ambitions, business strategy and AI capability. In this role, you will support products and services that improve ad performance and help SEEK balance trade-offs between candidate engagement, job placements and revenue.

The role will initially focus on improving how SEEK helps employers get better hiring results from their job ads. This includes working on products and systems that predict ad performance, help employers understand the results they can expect, and support the systems that determine how job ads are ranked and shown across SEEK.

This is an exciting and ambiguous space that requires structured problem solving, strong product judgement and a growing appreciation of how AI, marketplace dynamics and commercial objectives interact.

You will work with the Principal AI Product Manager and will own appropriately scoped product problems, coordinate delivery with the squad, and partner with teams across AIPS and the broader business.
