Product Owner Market Demand in Australia
Hiring outlook, remote working rates, and which companies are actively recruiting.
Product Owner hiring in Australia is being driven by the continued rollout of scaled agile operating models inside the major banks and large retailers, with Commonwealth Bank and Woolworths Group among the more consistent hirers. Demand concentrates in Sydney and Melbourne technology hubs, and while most Product Owner roles are filled locally, some employers use the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa subclass 482 to bring in senior candidates with fintech-specific SAFe experience when the local pipeline runs short.
