At Sitemate, Product Design Managers combine UX/UI design expertise with product ownership and delivery management. You’ll work in small, high-trust teams alongside engineers to define problems, design solutions, shape requirements, plan delivery, and take responsibility for what ships - including how it performs once live. Design, product, and delivery are not separate disciplines here; they are one integrated role. We believe the future of product teams - especially in an AI-accelerated world - belongs to builders who can own all three. ## EMPLOYMENT: - Full-time - Based: Melbourne, Australia or Sydney, Australia - Remuneration (Including Super): AUD $60,000 - $150,000 pending your experience About Sitemate: Sitemate is the front line AI company for the built world.

You will move between design, product scoping, delivery coordination, and production support within the same day. If you're looking to specialise in a single discipline, this role won't be the right fit. - Pace - We move very quickly. You'll need to be excited to learn fast and ship frequently, not wait for perfect conditions. - Owning the outcome, not just the output - You're responsible for what gets built, not just the designs you hand over. If something ships with unclear UX, missed edge cases, or bugs that trace back to insufficient scoping, that's your problem to own and fix. - Support and triage are part of the job - Monitoring production, triaging issues raised by customer support, and ensuring quality post-release is core to this role, not a distraction from it. - Strong culture and operating standards - We have a strong culture based on core values and standard operating procedures. You may need to unlearn a few things from previous experience. ## ✅ WHO THIS ROLE IS FOR - Product minded people who enjoy owning product outcomes end-to-end - Designers who want deeper accountability and delivery ownership - Product thinkers who are comfortable moving between UX, scoping, and execution - Individuals energised by pace and shipping ## 🚫 WHO THIS ROLE IS NOT FOR - People who only want to design and are not interested in delivery or product ownership - Designers who prefer handing off work rather than owning outcomes through to production - Individuals who want clearly separated roles without cross-functional accountability ## 🎯 SKILLS & TOOLS Must Have: - Strong ownership mindset with accountability for outcomes - Experience leading product delivery end-to-end (Product Owner or similar) - Proactive in experimenting with AI tools to drive efficiency - Proficient in Figma, including UI libraries and design systems - Strong UX/UI fundamentals with a user-centred approach - Experience designing web and/or mobile applications - Excellent written and verbal communication - Comfortable with ambiguity and pragmatic trade-offs - Strong visual design skills and attention to detail Nice to Have: - SaaS product experience - Working knowledge of HTML/CSS Essential Tools: - Figma - Jira - Confluence - Slack - Mixpanel (or other product analytics tools) Bonus Tools: - Figma Make - Claude Code PLEASE Note: - We hire directly and don’t work with agencies ## About Sitemate ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Sitemate builds no-code software platforms that help built-world companies (construction, engineering, infrastructure) digitize field workflows, capture data via voice and photos, and automate compliance documentation. - **Entity Type**: Private (funding stage not publicly disclosed) - **Headquarters**: Sydney, Australia - **Founded**: 2015 - **Founders**: Hartley Pike (CEO, Co-founder) and Sam McDonnell (VP of Product Strategy, Co-founder) ## Core Business - **Primary industry/industries**: Construction technology (ConTech), engineering software, field data capture, compliance documentation - **Target customers**: B2B; enterprise built-world companies (construction, engineering, infrastructure, energy, mining) — from field crews and supervisors to office-based managers and compliance teams - **Mission**: To multiply the engineering power of the built world — freeing engineers, trades, and technicians from paperwork so they can focus on solving the built world’s largest challenges. ## Products & Services - **Dashpivot (Systems Cloud)**: Web and mobile-based integrated management system for documenting, managing, and analyzing field forms, records, and information.

Understands built-world context (knows the difference between a JSA and an ITP). - **Sitemate App**: A free digital ID system enabling internal and external workers to sign off, submit, and review forms electronically — no email or login required for field users. - **Flowsite (Integrations Cloud)**: No-code integration platform connecting Dashpivot data to finance, payroll, and business systems (e.g., Microsoft, Xero). Also offers an Open API and MCP server for custom builds and external AI tool access. - **Workflow Modules**: Specialized templates and workflows for safety (permits, JSAs, incident reports), quality (ITPs, defect reports, commissioning sheets), field reporting (daily logs, shift summaries), time & materials (timesheets, dockets, daywork), fleet management, and tools & equipment tracking. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed - **Key Metric**: 162 employees (as of mid-2026, +25.3% YoY); operates in 12 countries - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Not publicly disclosed (no funding rounds or lead investors found in public sources) - **Growth Signals**: 25.3% headcount growth year-over-year; global expansion with offices in Sydney, Melbourne, London, Vancouver, Toronto, and Austin; annual global team offsites (Bali, Phuket); LinkedIn follower count of 20,545 (+28.7% yearly); talent sourced from companies like DocuSign, Accenture, MYOB, and Boomi ## Competitive Advantages - **AI purpose-built for the built world**: Storm is trained specifically on safety, quality, field reporting, and time/materials workflows — understands industry-specific documents and terminology (e.g., JSA vs. ITP). - **Full auditability and governance**: Every action is logged, traceable, and reviewable. AI behavior can be configured per workspace, template, workflow, and field — built for enterprise compliance from day one. - **Works on-site, offline**: Designed for patchy connectivity, glove-friendly inputs, and crews on the move — captures data now, processes when connected. - **No-code flexibility**: Drag-and-drop form builder and integration platform mean companies can create and manage their own systems without developers. - **Voice-first data capture**: Voice notes and dictation are understood even through site noise and rough audio — reducing typing burden for field workers. ## Strategic Focus - **AI-first field documentation**: Rolling out AI across every front-line workflow (safety, quality, time, fleet, tools) with a focus on governed, auditable, compliant deployment. - **Global expansion**: Growing office footprint across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific to serve enterprise built-world clients. - **Deep ecosystem integration**: Connecting field data seamlessly into finance, payroll, and business systems via Flowsite, Open API, and MCP to eliminate data silos and manual handoffs. - **Enterprise compliance**: Prioritizing audit trails, permissions, and configurable AI governance to meet the requirements of large, regulated built-world companies. ## Why Work Here - **Culture**: High-visibility, transparent, and open environment.
