Senior Product Manager - Supplier Capabilities

About Programa

Programa is a fast-growing venture-backed startup building the operating system for the design industry. Founded in 2020 out of Melbourne, Australia, our platform is purpose-built for interior designers and architects, replacing spreadsheets, PDFs, platform-switching, and scattered approvals with live tools that support every stage of a project. Working across two verticals, Programa bridges designers and project stakeholders to centralise the entire conversation around design delivery. Studios use it to manage specifications, schedules, project tasks, and client communication - all in one place. It’s how the design industry moves faster, with more clarity and less chaos.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Sr. Product Manager to own the vision, strategy and delivery of our Supplier capabilities and Trade Portal. This is not a role for someone who simply manages a backlog — you will define the vision, build the strategy, and bring entirely new capabilities to life. This is a unique opportunity to build a market-defining product in an industry still reliant on spreadsheets and trade shows.

Responsibilities

• Develop a compelling long-term vision and strategy for Supplier capabilities and the Trade Portal. Translate that vision into clear, actionable roadmaps and priorities. Lead end-to-end creation of new capabilities and experiences - from concept through launch and scaling.
• Engage deeply with Suppliers, Brands and the design community to uncover problems and validate solutions. Use customer insights to inspire and inform product decisions.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality products at pace. Establish processes that enable speed, learning, and continuous improvement.
• Define clear KPIs to track adoption, engagement, and success. Use data, experimentation, and feedback to iterate and optimise.
• Collaborate with Marketing & CX to create effective onboarding, education, and growth strategies. Support the positioning and messaging that resonates with our target audience and ICP.
• Ensure every experience we deliver is intuitive, elegant and consistent with Programa’s broader platform.

Experience

• 7+ years as a Product Manager at a SaaS company.
• Demonstrated success in owning complex products end-to-end - from discovery through launch and iteration.
• Proven success creating and launching new products or platforms from scratch, not just optimising existing ones.
• Comfortable with data-driven decision making and defining clear success metrics
• Excellent communication, able to align stakeholders and inspire teams

Bonus Experience

• Familiarity with the Architecture, Design or Supplier industries
• Exposure to analytics products and workflow automation
