Responsibilities

• Own the product strategy and roadmap for your area, from problem definition through delivery and iteration

• Lead discovery with Payroll, Operations, and partner teams, ensuring we solve manual bottlenecks, avoid calculation errors and create trust with our customers

• Partner with engineering and design as a true triad, facilitating problem discovery and solution design as a team

• Improve how payroll calculation issues, reporting gaps, and partner connectivity problems are surfaced and resolved, reducing escalations and rework for Ops and Payroll teams

• Own the payroll calculation and reporting layer; ensure outputs are accurate, clear and understandable

• Build and maintain our country-specific payroll and compliance knowledge base, keeping it accurate as rules change

• Maintain robust partner connectivity across payroll partners, ensuring data flows correctly and integrations don’t break downstream reporting

Requirements

• 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
