Technical Product Manager – Exhibition Display Systems

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.
