About The Role
We're looking for a Product Manager to own Core HR, the foundation for everything our platform builds on. That means employee records, lifecycle events, and the day-to-day workflows that let our global clients manage their people, not just pay them. You'll own execution across the full product lifecycle for Core HR, working cross-functionally with engineering, design, QA, and go-to-market.
This is a role for someone who's done this before: you've owned a roadmap for a system of record, know how HR data models get complicated fast across geographies and legal entities, and can turn ambiguity into a clear plan without much handholding. We're looking for solid product judgment and the experience to back it, not a specific job title.
You'll report directly to our Head of Product.
Areas You'll Own
- Employee profiles and records
- Onboarding and offboarding workflows
- Time off and leave management
- Employee lifecycle events (promotions, transfers, terminations)
- Core HR dashboards and reporting
- Compliance workflows tied to employee data across jurisdictions
What You'll Do
Product development
- Drive discovery, market research, competitive analysis, and roadmap development for Core HR, the employee data model, lifecycle workflows, and the reporting built on top of it
- Translate strategy into clear, actionable requirements and user stories engineering can build from
- Own product documentation, business cases, use cases, technical requirements, and expected ROI
- Make sure every release lines up with both customer needs and company goals, with an eye on data integrity and cross-border compliance
Stakeholder engagement
- Turn feedback from internal stakeholders and external customers into concrete prioritization decisions
- Act as the connective tissue between engineering and the rest of the business, keeping Core HR features aligned with market needs
- Partner with engineering, QA, design, marketing, and sales to plan, build, and launch
- Run Agile ceremonies, sprint planning, backlog refinement, sprint reviews and keep them useful, not performative
- Work with QA to define testing strategy and protect release quality, especially around data migrations and lifecycle events
Market awareness & research
- Stay sharp on HR tech trends, customer pain points, and the competitive landscape
- Use that knowledge to keep the roadmap a step ahead, not just reactive
Documentation & reporting
- Keep clear, current documentation for project plans, timelines, requirements, and status
- Communicate progress and learnings to stakeholders on a regular cadence
- Develop external-facing content on Core HR features and functionality for customers
What You'll Bring
- 3-5 years of experience in product management or a closely related role at a technology or SaaS company
- A track record of owning the product lifecycle and shipping impactful B2B solutions, ideally involving employee data, HRIS, or systems-of-record
- Strong collaboration and communication skills, you work fluidly across engineering, design, and business teams
- Comfort turning complex business needs, especially ones shaped by multi-country compliance, into clear technical requirements
- Real experience in Agile environments, including hands-on sprint planning and backlog grooming
- A customer-first mindset balanced with strategic thinking and tactical execution
- A self-starter who's comfortable with ambiguity and fast pace
- Experience in HCM, HRIS, or core HR platforms is strongly preferred
