👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Jacob is a Senior Product Manager with 15 years of hands-on experience shipping enterprise-grade cloud software and cross-platform apps, currently leading Janison’s assessment delivery products including the Locked Down Browser used by NAPLAN Online. He combines deep product ownership with a developer’s toolkit—PHP, JavaScript, responsive frontend, and CI workflows—having started as a full-stack developer at top agencies and built high-scale consumer campaigns that hit 200k+ entries in 24 hours. Chris has delivered services supporting 1M+ students annually and engineered low-bandwidth, offline and accessibility solutions for one of the world’s largest digital assessments. He’s comfortable running SCRUM teams end-to-end: discovery, wireframes, backlog ownership, sprint execution and stakeholder workshops across global clients like SEAB and the British Council. An entrepreneur at heart, he founded side ventures (including Heard.fm and a startup-grade Rails frontend) and now hustles on 10X NETWORK STATE, a provocative community project blending on-chain thinking with real-world nation-building ambitions. Based in Coffs Harbour, he pairs rigorous academic results and HubSpot design/inbound certifications with a knack for turning complex, high-scale requirements into pragmatic, reliable products.
