What I'm looking for

I’m looking for fair compensation and good work-life balance, ideally with remote flexibility. I work well with ambiguity and enjoy problem-solving. I’m passionate about creating clear documentation and fostering transparency. While I prefer fewer meetings, I appreciate when they’re meaningful. Practical and outcome-focused, I work well independently and love working with data.

With over three years in product management across Accounting & Payroll and six years in QA on the Tax module of a Practice Management suite, I lead the strategic and day-to-day delivery of AU/NZ products that drive 60–65% of company revenue. My focus is on customer retention and compliance, enabled through close collaboration with SMEs and cross-functional teams.

Currently, I’m leading a company-wide digital transformation aligned with business strategy by building a self-service migration and analytics tool within our Web Portal, while managing multiple product roadmaps.
