Job Description
When you work for The Babybee Group, you’ll be working with purpose. Working with the goal of making parents’ lives better. Working to drive positive change within the baby industry and to make a genuine difference in the lives of new parents and little ones as far as we can reach.
Product Development & Category Manager
Location: Yarraville, VIC office with some flexibility to work from home
Type: Full-time
Hello, nice to meet you.
We promise this isn’t just another job ad. Well, it is - but with a difference. We’re on the hunt for a do-it-all product powerhouse to bring an entirely new product category to life.
This isn’t a role for someone who just “keeps the wheels turning.” We need a highly driven, self-starter who thrives on juggling 30 balls in the air, loves problem-solving at speed, and knows how to turn ideas into profitable products.
You’ll report directly to our founder and work hand-in-hand to bring new ideas to life. This isn’t a role where you disappear for months and present a finished product — you’ll enjoy bouncing ideas, seeking input, and shaping products together, while still having the freedom to own your category end-to-end. You’ll sit alongside an experienced product manager, but with your own lanes to run with.
As our Product Development & Category Manager, you’ll:
Source, develop and launch new products end-to-end.
Own market research, feasibility, range selection, and pricing to build a commercially successful category.
Oversee all compliance, testing, and certifications — nothing goes to market unless you’ve signed it off.
Drive projects with confidence using Asana.
Balance creativity with commercial thinking, ensuring every product hits both customer needs and profitability targets.
What you’ll bring:
A “get sh*t done” mindset — you don’t wait for direction, you make things happen.
Ability to manage complex projects and keep multiple priorities moving without dropping the ball.
Strong background in product development, design, or category management.
Proven experience working directly with overseas manufacturers, taking products from concept through to launch.
A love for pace, ownership, and creating products that genuinely make parent life better.
We’re a small but mighty team with big ambitions, driven by purpose and empathy. Growing faster than a toddler on a growth spurt, we’re scaling rapidly with exciting new initiatives. We hold ourselves to high standards — not just in what we deliver, but in how we support each other and our customers.
Why you’ll love working at Babybee
Proudly Australian-owned with strong values and a loyal customer base
Generous staff discounts and paid parental leave
Supportive, close-knit team culture
Free parking, snacks, and regular team lunches or drinks
The chance to make a real difference in the lives of Australian families
This is a rare opportunity to join a fast-growing, female founder-led business where you’ll have the autonomy to shape an entirely new category from the ground up. If you’re entrepreneurial, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and want to see the direct impact of your work in market — we’d love to hear from you.
