The role offers broad exposure to strategy, member research, digital product development, commercial analysis and implementation in a regulated environment.

Role Responsibilities

  • Translate the Betashares Super strategy into a prioritised proposition, member experience, product development and growth roadmap, with clear measures of success.
  • Identify and assess new propositions and capabilities using member research, behavioural data, service insights, complaints, market analysis and commercial evidence.
  • Own the end-to-end member experience roadmap across acquisition, onboarding, engagement, servicing, retention, contributions and retirement, ensuring initiatives form a coherent experience.
  • Act as the senior Super business owner for member-facing digital development, defining prioritised problems, requirements and measurable outcomes across web, app and digital servicing channels.
  • Lead significant initiatives through discovery, design, build, testing, business acceptance, launch and post-launch optimisation in partnership with Product, Design and Technology.
  • Lead cross-functional delivery across Super, Marketing, Operations, Data, Finance, Legal, Risk and Compliance, establishing clear objectives, decision rights, accountabilities, dependencies and escalation paths.
  • Develop business cases and commercial assessments for material propositions and enhancements, and evaluate actual performance across member outcomes, acquisition, engagement, retention and contribution behaviour.
  • Ensure Super-specific regulatory, trustee, operational and member requirements are incorporated early, with appropriate approvals, implementation controls and decision documentation for material changes.
  • Represent Super product development priorities in planning and governance forums, influencing senior stakeholders and shared teams without direct reporting authority.
