You'll partner closely with Engineering, Design, Data Science, Marketing, and Sales to optimize the employer acquisition journey, improve re-engagement, and build scalable product experiences that drive new paying employers and long-term customer growth.

Key Focus Areas:

  • Act as an Owner: Take full accountability for your product domain, from high-level KPI setting to the nuances of daily execution.
  • Lead Core Product Areas: Direct the product roadmap for your aspects of the SMB product to improve customer value and product effectiveness.
  • Run rapid growth experimentation: You will experiment frequently with new ideas to supercharge our PLG motion and acquisition of new employers.

  • Partner closely with GTM: Coordinate with the GTM team to ensure the product-led growth motion ties into marketing and sales.
  • Voice of the User: Serve as the voice of the SMB customer to the rest of the team, constantly talking to your users, doing product discovery, and conducting user research.

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Proven Leadership: 5+ years of proven success in product management, with a record of delivering results
  • Deeply Analytical: You are a data-obsessed problem solver who doesn't just look at dashboards but interrogates the "why" behind the numbers.
  • B2B Expertise: Deep experience building business-facing products at scale
  • AI/ML Fluency: You aren’t just a fan of AI; you understand how to leverage Machine Learning to solve user problems and have experience building AI-powered product features.
  • Customer-obsession: You have a passion for speaking directly with your users and personally conducting user research.
  • Strategic Versatility: You are a "smart generalist" who can be thrown at any complex problem—whether it’s a technical architectural hurdle or a brand-new market opportunity—and figure it out.
  • Self-Motivation: You are highly driven and thrive in an environment where you are given the autonomy to drive massive impact.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Marketplace Experience: Previous experience at a two-sided marketplace (e.g., jobs, real estate, rideshare).
  • SMB product experience: Previous experience leading products specifically geared towards SMB customers.
