Job summary

Deel is seeking a Senior Product Manager II to own the product strategy, roadmap, and execution for payroll onboarding automation. You will partner with engineering, design, compliance, and GTM teams to deliver scalable automation across thousands of customer variations.

Balance strategic vision with pragmatic execution in a fast-paced, remote-first environment operating across the EMEA region. You will influence product decisions with cross-functional teams and drive a platform rebuild to

Qualifications

• Minimum 5+ years of product management experience in fast-paced, high-complexity environments (scaleup, fintech, regulated industries, or infrastructure-heavy products strongly preferred).
• Proven experience shipping in regulated or high-stakes domains where precision, compliance, and multi-stakeholder accountability are core to the work.
• Strong systems and process thinking, comfortable with problems that have interconnected parts, multiple stakeholders, and ambiguous solutions.
• Pragmatic mindset: able to identify which problems need perfect solutions and which need "good enough" solutions; comfortable making trade-offs with conviction.
• Independent and autonomous leader, thrive owning strategy and execution in less-structured environments; comfortable escalating decisions but not waiting for perfect information.
• Technical credibility: understand engineering constraints, collaborate effectively with technical leaders, and own product-engineering trade-offs (coding not required).
• Comfort with velocity and ambiguity, energized by high-speed environments where priorities shift and you're expected to move fast while staying rigorous.

Responsibilities

• Build and own a clear product vision and strategy for your area; communicate that vision upward, laterally, and into the execution team with conviction
• Drive the full product development lifecycle, from problem definition through design, engineering collaboration, launch, and measurement, with a bias toward shipping impact quickly
• Own the automation strategy: define what scalable automation actually means in a space where every customer's setup is different; measure progress in ways that reflect real customer impact
• Collaborate with engineering leadership and technical teams to navigate complex trade-offs between handling customer variation, maintaining compliance, and moving fast; push back on estimates and own product-engineering decisions
• Work cross-functionally across entity setup, contract setup, and infrastructure teams to align on shared requirements and surface where one domain's decisions cascade into another's complexity
• Synthesize customer escalations and edge cases to identify patterns; use those patterns to inform which automations unlock the most value and which problems need configuration-driven solutions
• Manage in ambiguity and high-velocity contexts: make decisions with incomplete information, communicate uncertainty clearly, and course-correct quickly as you learn
• Partner with go-to-market and customer success teams to understand customer needs, gather feedback, and ensure product-market fit during a significant platform rebuild
