At NZ Post we connect Aotearoa to the world and the world back to us. As international eCommerce continues to grow, we are evolving the products and services that move parcels across borders every day.

Kōrero mō te tūranga - About the role

We're looking for an early‑career Product Manager who's ready to step up, build confidence, and grow their product craft in a fast‑moving, real‑world environment. This is a hands‑on development opportunity for someone with around 1–2 years' experience who wants to deepen their product capability while learning alongside experienced product leaders.

You'll join our International Products team based in Highbrook, East Tamaki, supporting the products that bring parcels into New Zealand every day. Working closely with senior product managers, technology teams, commercial partners, and offshore teams, you'll play a meaningful role in keeping international parcels flowing smoothly.

This role sits at the heart of our international product ecosystem. With guidance and support, you'll help drive product initiatives forward, contribute to Agile delivery, and bring clarity and momentum to day‑to‑day product work. It's a great opportunity to gain exposure to the full product lifecycle while improving customer experiences and commercial outcomes.

With support from senior product leaders, you'll:

• Own and manage elements of NZ Post's international product portfolio
• Work within Agile delivery teams to help prioritise, plan, and deliver product initiatives
• Use tools such as Jira to manage backlogs, track progress, and maintain visibility of work
• Facilitate meetings, workshops, and conversations that move work forward
• Partner with offshore teams and international partners to coordinate product changes and improvements
• Identify opportunities to improve product performance, customer experience, and commercial results

In your first 6–12 months, success will look like building confidence across the product lifecycle, delivering well‑prioritised initiatives end‑to‑end, and developing strong relationships with stakeholders and delivery teams.

Mōu - About you

You are someone who takes ownership and is comfortable working with a wide range of stakeholders.  You ask questions, challenge assumptions, and are confident speaking up when something does not look right.  You are organised, commercially aware, and able to bring clarity to complex conversations.

You will also be comfortable working in Agile environments, helping translate product priorities into deliverable work while keeping stakeholders aligned and informed.

You combine this with:

• Around 1 to 2 years' experience in product management, project management or a similar role
• Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to influence across teams
• Experience working in Agile delivery environments and using Jira or similar tools to manage product delivery
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• The ability to quickly build trust and relationships, especially in complex or busy environments
• Being curious, hands-on, and motivated to understand products and services so you can lead effectively
