You will own the product lifecycle for Core HR, driving discovery, roadmap development, and requirements for employee data models and lifecycle workflows. You will also act as the primary bridge between engineering, design, and business stakeholders to ensure features align with market needs and compliance standards.
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.
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
