What we expect

• 4+ years in product, with experience owning complex B2B SaaS or HR-tech/fintech products: payroll, compliance, integrations, or financial operations
• Strong product fundamentals. You manage your product, not your backlog.
• Excellent stakeholder management skills. You cross bridges without burning them.
• You practice concise communication. No corporate slop. A 5 year old can explain your PRDs to your engineering team.
• You’ve worked on platform-level products with real system complexity: data models, integrations, cross-service dependencies and you know how to reason about trade-offs across product, operations, and engineering
• Strong operational instinct: you understand how payroll accuracy, reporting reliability, and partner connectivity connect to customer trust
• You define success metrics before scoping and revisit them when things aren’t moving
• Comfortable operating in ambiguous, cross-functional environments — you drive clarity rather than waiting for it
• You’ve worked in a high-trust, autonomous team structure; you need context, access to customers, and clear business goals, not a feature list
• You know how to leverage AI as a force multiplier without outsourcing your judgement
• Hands-on experience with payroll partner integrations or global compliance data is advantageous
