Job description

Fancy working with an established, growth-stage UK Software product company (B2B SaaS), who are building their own HRIS payroll system from the ground up? If so, we are looking for an experienced Product Manager / Owner to take the lead! The build is well-advanced, but it needs someone with genuine product discipline in a B2B SaaS environment to to take it forward, as the official release approaches. This is a newly created role, and you would be the first person to bring professional product ownership to it.

Location: Remote with occasional time required in the office (Central / SE UK) So will consider people from across the UK, in general. Very flexible location wise though.

Salary: £65,000 to £75,000 basic, plus benefits package.

What you'll be doing

• Own the payroll product end to end: requirements baseline, backlog, roadmap and release plan
• Work day to day with engineering and the internal payroll team of experts, testing changes yourself where needed
• Act as the go-to authority for the teams, from a Product point of view.
• Shape the long-term product strategy & roadmap.

What you need to bring

• Prior experience on HRIS systems: Workforce Management, HCM, Payroll, etc.
• Demonstrable product management experience in software: discovery, requirements, backlog ownership and shipping releases
• Experience moving between systems, including data migration, parallel running and reconciliation would be ideal.
• Strong written communication - comfortable producing specifications others can act on without you in the room

Why you'll love this job

• Genuine ownership - you're the first person in this seat, shaping the product from spec through to market leadership
• A rare, genuinely differentiated proposition: workforce management and payroll combined natively in one system
• A small, direct team backed by equity investment, where decisions move fast and the person who owns a product really owns it

If you combine real HRIS systems knowledge with strong SaaS product craft and want to build something new, we'd love to hear from you.
