DescriptionKablamo is an impact-driven software engineering company (teamkablamo.Com). We bring engineering, data, and AI expertise to solve complex problems, with the intellectual horsepower to know what works and the care to make sure it actually does. Founded in 2017 in Australia, we’ve grown quickly across both markets, including the expansion of our team to Canada in 2021.
Our team is growing, but we remain small and nimble in Canada. Because AI is reshaping what traditional roles look like, the boundaries between roles stay flexible. People pick up what the work needs and have a real voice in how we continue to improve our own work experiences. As a result, we commit time so that everyone has the opportunity to learn and grow significantly in their careers. We call our approach Make with Heart and Mind.
We are looking for a Product Manager as we expand our impact with new customers. This posting supports the position to start between November 2026 and February 2027.
The RoleAt Kablamo, our Product Managers are hybrid leaders who thrive in small, agile teams, wearing both the product and project hats to ensure our consulting engagements are well organized and deliver truly valuable outcomes. As Product Manager, you’re the strategic leader, partnering with clients to shape product vision and strategy and keeping the team focused on the “why”, so we solve the right problems and maximize business value. As Project Manager, you’re the pragmatic organiser, creating clarity and momentum by doing what works for each client, whether that’s running agile ceremonies or a fast-paced discovery on a simple Slack canvas, while managing risks, removing blockers, and keeping delivery smooth and predictable. The ideal candidate masters both worlds: a strategic thinker who sets a compelling direction and an organizer who leads the team to execute it with excellence.
