THE OPPORTUNITY
A well-established, wholly Australian-owned distributor of non-power cabling and connectivity products is seeking a technically grounded Product Manager to join their Brisbane-based team. This is a hands‐on, enabling role at the intersection of product knowledge, technical sales support, and compliance management - suited to someone who thrives on being the go‐to resource for a high‐performing national sales team. The business operates across communications, mining and industrial, security, and transport sectors, supplying a broad product range including copper LAN, fibre optic, instrumentation, and security cabling to the electrical wholesale market. With four national warehouses and a strong proprietary brand, the organisation competes on technical depth and product breadth. This is a genuine growth opportunity, if you enjoy translating product complexity into practical outcomes and want to build expertise within a specialist distribution environment, this role is worth a close look.
ABOUT THE ROLE
Reporting directly to the Head of Product & Supply, the Product Manager serves as the technical backbone for six national Technical Sales Representatives. The role is dual in nature: day‐to‐day sales support and portfolio compliance management.
Your key responsibilities will include:
* Providing responsive technical product support to the national sales team – handling product specification queries, application questions, and customer‐facing product comparisons across copper, fibre optic, instrumentation, security, and transport cabling.
* Managing product compliance obligations across the portfolio, including RCM (Regulatory Compliance Mark) documentation, EESS registration, AS/CA S008 (Customer Cabling Products), and alignment with the AS/NZS ISO/IEC 11801 structured cabling standards framework.
* Liaising with third‐party brand partners and proprietary product teams to maintain current specifications, compliance documentation, and technical datasheets.
* Supporting the preparation of technical submissions and compliance declarations for infrastructure project tenders across roads, rail, tunnels, commercial, and government procurement.
* Monitoring changes to relevant Australian and international standards (AS/NZS, AS/CA, ACMA, ISO/IEC) and ensuring the product portfolio remains current and compliant.
* Assisting with new product introductions – including technical documentation, supplier qualification materials, and market‐readiness assessments.
* Creating and maintaining customer‐facing technical content: spec sheets, product comparison documents, and application guides.
ABOUT YOU
You are technically minded, organised, and genuinely service‐oriented. You understand that this role exists to make others more effective and you are energised by that, not frustrated by it.
You will bring:
* Minimum 3 years of relevant technical experience in a product, compliance, technical sales, or specification role.
* Industry background in telecommunications, electrical, or communications – candidates from adjacent technical industries such as data networking, fire and security, building services, or AV/broadcast infrastructure will also be considered.
* Demonstrated experience managing product compliance against a recognised standards framework – Australian Standards (RCM, EESS, AS/CA) or a comparable equivalent.
* The ability to read, interpret, and apply technical product specifications and datasheets with confidence.
* Familiarity with structured cabling standards (AS/NZS ISO/IEC 11801 series) is advantageous but not a prerequisite.
* Strong communication skills – the ability to translate technical product information clearly for both technical and non‐technical audiences.
* High attention to detail and a disciplined approach to compliance documentation and record management.
* A collaborative, can‐do disposition – you are comfortable in a support‐and‐enable function and don't need to own commercial outcomes to feel engaged.
* Stability and commitment – the organisation is investing in your growth; a track record of considered tenure will be well regarded.
WHY THIS ROLE
* Join an organisation with a genuine reputation for technical excellence in its market – you will be working with products and standards that matter.
* A role with real ownership – you will manage the compliance framework, not just support it.
* Collaborative, friendly team culture with long staff tenure and visible investment in employee wellbeing.
* Daily on‐site catering provided – the office is known for its warm, team‐first environment.
* Genuine growth pathway for the right candidate – the business is building this role with the future in mind, not just filling a gap.
