Our Purpose
We transform the way people operate and interact with public venues, places, and major events.
Our Role
We digitise Australian’s most known and recognised brands.
What We Do
TechMedia sits at the intersection of technology, media and the physical retail world, designing, building and operating advanced digital media networks in high traffic environments. On any given day our teams deploy large scale LED / LCD digital display networks, integrate interactive kiosks and wayfinding systems, optimise media performance for advertisers and ensure every screen across the network runs flawlessly. It is fast moving, multidisciplinary work where technologists, engineers, creatives and commercial thinkers collaborate to transform physical spaces into intelligent, responsive media environments at national scale.
POSITION OVERVIEW
The Product Manager, Customer Platforms acts as the steward of the systems that power TechMedia’s digital signage ecosystem. Representing the business as the end user of these platforms, the role owns the critical layer between physical infrastructure (hardware) and the software platforms that enable media delivery, measurement and commercial performance. This position ensures that the technology stack supporting the network is robust, integrated and capable of supporting the scale and reliability demanded by a national media environment.
At its core, the role exists to broker strong outcomes between multiple stakeholders. It works across businesses that own and operate screen networks, vendors who supply platform capability through solution partners, and internal teams responsible for revenue, delivery and operations. The objective is not technology for its own sake, but the creation of durable and commercially credible solutions that perform from day one and continue to deliver value over time. This requires careful evaluation of platforms, disciplined product stewardship and a clear understanding of how technology decisions affect real world operations and commercial performance.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Represent the Customer

Work With Vendors
- Act as the main point of contact between the business and platform vendors.
- Ensure vendors deliver reliable products, clear support and roadmaps that match the needs of the network.
- Avoid unnecessary complexity by maintaining a clear and consistent platform architecture.
Evaluate New Technology
- Stay aware of new platforms and capabilities that could improve the network.
- Assess new tools carefully before adoption, focusing on long term value, integration and operational impact.
- Recommend when to test, adopt or avoid new technologies.
Build Internal Capability
