About InDebted

InDebted operates at the forefront of collections infrastructure, offering an integrated platform aimed at advancing towards autonomous collections. Operating within a regulated space that deals with consumers under pressure, this role demands refined judgement and innovative thinking.

Role Responsibilities

• Collaborate with the Head of Product and Founder to craft product strategy and a roadmap aligned with company objectives.
• Define development priorities for your small, auto-organized pod and establish clear completion criteria, ranging from documentation to rapid functional prototypes built with AI tools like Claude Code.
• Conduct discovery activities including customer interviews, analyzing competitors, and data-driven evaluation.
• Work with engineering to sequence development efforts, focusing on high-impact deliveries first.
• Manage the end-to-end user experience for both clients configuring the product and the end customers.
• Identify and automate manual tasks within product development and client usage via AI integration on a weekly basis.
• Engage with cross-departmental teams such as Sales, Client Success, Operations, and Marketing for cohesive collaboration.
• Serve as the internal and external advocate for the product.
• Lead launch readiness and go-to-market strategies for new features.

Candidate Profile

• Highly skilled with AI tools, particularly Claude Code or similar, enabling rapid prototyping and artifact creation within hours.
• A hands-on builder, comfortable working with code repositories and shipping functional solutions promptly.
• Demonstrated history of delivering products that substantially improve business metrics.
• Strong analytical capabilities with self-sufficiency in data exploration and interpretation.
• Excellent communication skills, comfortable engaging senior internal and client stakeholders.

Success Indicators

• Measurable improvements such as increased self-service resolutions, higher recovery rates without increased complaints, and reduced collection costs, attributable to your leadership.
• Rapid development cycle from concept to release, with prototype presence preceding formal specifications, and increased AI contribution to workload.
• Positive endorsement from engineers about pod velocity and independence when you are leading, including clarity in decision-making trade-offs.

Role Distinctions

This is not a traditional product management position focused on extensive roadmap documents or detailed PRDs. Nor is it a liaison role between business and engineering. The daily use of AI-based development tools is fundamental to the role.

Recruitment Process

• Initial 30-minute conversation with the Head of Product to discuss mutual fit.
• An in-person assessment at the Sydney office, including collaborative problem-solving on real case scenarios and a product challenge with the Head of Product and an engineer.
• A final discussion with the CTO and Founder to confirm enthusiasm and fit, typically conducted remotely. Offers issued within approximately 72 hours.
