Head of Product

• Join an award-winning digital team – B2B eCommerce Association APAC award winners, 2025 and 2026
• Senior leadership role owning a nine-figure digital sales channel across APAC
• Hybrid working (WFH 3 days, 2 in office), based at any Motion office location in Australia

We are looking for a commercially minded Head of Product to own the vision, strategy and roadmap for Motion's digital portfolio across APAC: our B2B eCommerce platforms, our enterprise eProcurement integrations and the product capability behind them.

This is a digital product leadership role. The products are our websites, eCommerce platforms and customer-facing integrations – it is not a product merchandising or category management role.

The seat is senior: a nine-figure digital sales channel, at the centre of Motion's 5-year strategy to become the most digitally connected industrial distribution business in APAC, with the backing of a global industrial organisation.

Reporting to the GM – eCommerce & Digital, you will lead a multi-disciplinary team of product managers, business analysts, data analysts and UI/UX designers, turn customer insight into shipped product, and carry measurable commercial outcomes in a complex B2B environment.

• Help make Motion the most digitally connected industrial distribution business in APAC – the goal at the centre of our 5-year digital strategy.
• Join an award-winning team – recognised at the B2B eCommerce Association APAC Industry Awards in both 2025 and 2026.
• A senior leadership seat over a nine-figure digital sales channel, in a funded, multi-year transformation backed at group level.
• Own a multi-region APAC portfolio on a modern composable stack: commercetools, Algolia and Contentful on MACH architecture, hosted on Google Cloud.
• Ship eProcurement integrations (PunchOut and EDI) with national enterprise customers in mining, manufacturing and infrastructure.
• Present product strategy and investment cases to executive forums, with direct senior stakeholder access.
• Lead and grow a multi-disciplinary team spanning product, business analysis, data and UI/UX design – set the operating rhythm and raise the bar.

What are we looking for?

You are a digital product leader who turns customer insight into clear priorities, practical roadmaps and measurable results. You are comfortable in a complex stakeholder environment and can balance customer value, commercial outcomes and delivery feasibility.

In this role, you will:

• Own and evolve the digital product strategy and roadmap across web, eProcurement and platform integration products across APAC.
• Lead and develop a team of product managers, business analysts, data analysts and UI/UX designers.
• Lead product discovery, planning, prioritisation and lifecycle governance.
• Make product decisions from customer insight and data.
• Partner with delivery, CX, eCommerce operations, sales and marketing teams to land initiatives.
• Present product strategy and investment business cases to executive forums.
• Mentor and grow product capability across the organisation.

Skills and experience required

• 7+ years' product management experience, including senior leadership in digital or eCommerce environments.
• A record of defining and launching digital products in complex B2B or enterprise settings.
• Demonstrated people leadership: building and developing multi-disciplinary teams across product, analysis, data and design.
• Experience with composable commerce, MACH architecture or headless platforms (e.g. commercetools, Contentful).
• Strong capability in product discovery, customer research, business-case development and data-led decision-making.
• Roadmap planning and prioritisation frameworks such as OKRs, RICE or MoSCoW.
• Excellent communication and influencing skills across executive, technical and commercial audiences.
• Working knowledge of tools such as Jira, Confluence, Power BI and Google Analytics.
• B2B eProcurement (PunchOut / EDI) experience is desirable.
