Product Manager - Core HR

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
