Are you a technically minded product leader who thrives under pressure and takes full ownership of what you build?
We’re looking for a hands-on Product Manager to take ownership of our portable display range (Lumi, Trax, Classic Frames and beyond). This isn’t a “sit in meetings and make slides” role — you’ll be in the weeds with products, suppliers, and the team, making sure everything we sell actually works, improves, and stays ahead of the market.
You’ll be responsible for the full product lifecycle — from sourcing and refinement through to training, documentation, and ongoing performance.
At Exhibit Central, we don’t just fill roles — we build teams that create extraordinary exhibition experiences. Every position here plays a critical role in delivering complex projects that perform under pressure and help our business grow. You’ll be part of a company that lives by its core values: Courage, Curiosity, Selflessness, Judgement, and Communication.
🔍 What You’ll Do
- Product Review & Testing
- Evaluate new and existing products for quality, usability, and durability
- Identify gaps, issues, and opportunities for improvement
- Supplier & Manufacturer Management
- Work directly with manufacturers to refine and customise products
- Push for better design, pricing, and performance (no passengers)
- Product Improvement
- Analyse real-world usage and continuously improve product design
- Solve practical problems — assembly, transport, durability, etc.
- Product Packaging & Range Development
- Develop clear, scalable product packages for customers
- Ensure offerings are commercially strong and easy to understand
- Documentation & Instructions
- Create assembly manuals and clear, idiot-proof instructions
- Ensure consistency across all product documentation
- Training
- Train internal teams (sales, customer service, production)
- Make sure everyone knows the products inside out
- Quality Control & Issue Management
- Manage warranties, faults, and product issues
- Work with suppliers to resolve problems quickly and properly
- Marketing Alignment
- Ensure all marketing material is accurate and reflects real product capability
- Work closely with marketing to position products correctly
- Compliance & Regulations
- Ensure products meet all relevant Australian standards and regulations
- Stay ahead of any compliance risk
✅ What You Bring
- Experience in product management, ideally with physical products
- Strong understanding of manufacturing and supply chains
- Practical mindset — you care how things actually work, not just how they look on paper
- Ability to push suppliers and get outcomes
- Detail-oriented with a focus on quality and usability
- Confident communicator who can train and influence internal teams
- Experience in exhibitions, events, or display systems = big plus
🌟 Why Join Exhibit Central?
- Work with a cross-border team delivering high-impact exhibition projects across Australia and internationally.
- Be part of a values-driven organisation that prioritises accountability, clarity, and practical problem-solving.
- Access ongoing mentoring from senior leaders and opportunities to shape products that are used in real-world, high-pressure environments.
- Join a growing business where your technical expertise directly influences product quality, customer satisfaction, and operational success.
