Project Coordinator (Product & Marketing)
About Sleeping Duck
Sleeping Duck is a collective of engineers, designers, customer advocates, and medical professionals united by a shared mission: to create meaningful improvements in the quality of our customers’ lives. We focus on optimising sleep, because better sleep means more energy, better focus, and a greater capacity to thrive each day.
We began by challenging the traditional mattress industry, reimagining how mattresses and bed frames are designed, engineered, and purchased. Today, we’re expanding into new frontiers of sleep science, exploring how elements like temperature regulation, sensors, and lighting can make the sleep experience more restorative, comfortable, and uninterrupted.
One of our most exciting innovations is the Z10 Body Fit System, engineered in collaboration with a neurosurgeon and leading physiotherapists. Developed to support patients experiencing chronic pain and those undergoing surgery, the Z10 is delivering exceptional results, and is currently available exclusively through physiotherapists. Projects like this are what drive us: complex problems, human-centred design, and life-changing outcomes.
Our customers consistently tell us they love what we do, and their thousands of reviews on ProductReview speak for themselves. Ultimately, that’s what fuels us: helping people get their best night’s sleep, and creating experiences that truly exceed expectations.
We currently operate in Australia and the USA and will continue to grow into international markets.

The Product Design team develops the Sleeping Duck product vision and brings it to life.
