Job Level

Lead

About the role

  • Shape and own the platform roadmap - balancing near-term delivery against long-term re-architecture.
  • Translate business goals and engineering constraints into a clear strategy that enables speed, scale, and reliability.
  • Drive alignment with engineering and cross-functional product teams on sequencing and tradeoffs.
  • Own product direction for foundational capabilities - including the data layer, API ecosystem, authentication and permissions, and developer-facing infrastructure.
  • Define what "good" looks like and hold the team accountable to getting there, without crossing into engineering's lane on implementation decisions.
  • Drive measurable improvement in platform efficiency - processing automation, submission quality, and time-to-value for customers.
  • Balance investment in new capability against keeping existing systems reliable and improving.
  • Champion the experience of everyone who depends on the platform - enterprise integrators, suppliers, internal teams, and operations.
  • Lead and develop a mixed-seniority team of product managers. Set clear expectations, model accountability, and build a culture that reflects our values.
  • Partner closely with Engineering, Data Science, Operations, and Customer Success to ensure the platform is understood, trusted, and adopted across the organization.

Requirements

  • 8+ years in product management, with at least 3 years in a platform or developer-facing PM role in B2B SaaS
  • Proven people leadership - this is a management role, and a player coach who is hands on and leads by example
  • Strong grasp of platform fundamentals: APIs, data architecture, authentication, integration patterns
  • A track record of delivering in environments where legacy systems and new architecture coexist
  • AI fluency - you use AI tools actively in your day-to-day work; experience building AI-powered products is a strong plus
  • Comfortable in ambiguity - you hold a long-term vision while making pragmatic near-term calls
  • Strong communicator - you make technical tradeoffs legible to business stakeholders and business priorities legible to engineers
  • Enterprise B2B background; experience with data-intensive platforms preferred
Benefits
  • Flexible working arrangements
  • Family-friendly policies
  • Charity initiatives and donation matching
  • Hybrid work model
