We achieve this goal by providing a work environment where people from diverse backgrounds, with a range of skills and experiences can contribute and succeed.

Registry Product Delivery Lead

• Our registry ecosystem is evolving fast - we need a lead who can drive delivery and uplift across core platforms and workflows.

• We’re looking for a practical, outcomes focused delivery leader to take ownership of the registry backlog and strengthen how change flows across ALIP, Boardroom and the systems they connect into.

• If you enjoy working in complex environments, influencing ways of working, and bringing clarity to competing priorities, this role offers the chance to create meaningful, lasting impact from day one.

• We offer a flexible hybrid model based out of our Martin Place, Sydney CBD office — typically 3 days in office and 2 days from home.

About the role

As the Registry Product Delivery Lead, you’ll be accountable for driving enhancements, new product builds and continuous improvement across Challenger’s registry platforms. You’ll own the delivery - shaping and prioritising the backlog, defining user stories, running sprints and partnering closely with engineering teams to deliver high‑quality increments at pace.

You’ll work end‑to‑end across the business, collaborating with engineering (onshore and offshore), digital, CRM, operations and Product Owners to ensure change is coordinated, transparent and aligned to business priorities. With clear prioritisation and strong stakeholder management, you’ll help teams move efficiently and remove friction from the delivery flow.

You’ll take full ownership of the registry backlog, lead key delivery forums and play an important role in maturing Agile and product ownership practices across the ecosystem. Your work will shape how registry change moves through integrated systems - ensuring reliable, scalable processes that support customers, advisers and operational teams.

• Coordinate interdependencies with other Product Owners to support sequencing, planning and governance forums.

• Support simplification and uplift of registry workflows as platforms evolve.

Ways of Working & Continuous Improvement

• Contribute to a maturing hybrid Agile operating model, helping introduce structure, cadence and delivery discipline.
