Job description

Deputy is a global SaaS remote-first workforce management company with hubs in Sydney, Melbourne, San Francisco and London, plus team members working remotely across the United States. Our platform serves over 1.5 million workers and 375,000 workplaces across 100+ countries. We are backed by top global investors and recently achieved Unicorn status.

At Deputy, we’re improving the world of work, one shift at a time, for 80% of the world’s workforce: hourly workers. These are the dedicated employees who keep our world running – from baristas to nurses, cleaners to delivery drivers, florists to factory workers. Despite their vital role in society, most workplace technology has focused on those workers who sit behind a desk, but at Deputy, we transform the frontline. When businesses use Deputy, their workplaces thrive – the business is more profitable, compliant, and productive, while the workers are more engaged and happier at work.

If you’re passionate about creating solutions that put people first and helping businesses and their teams thrive, join us at Deputy and make an impact where it matters most!

Deputy is on a mission to simplify shift work, and we’re taking it to the next level with Gen AI. We’re looking for a Strategic Product Leader to drive the 0 to 1 development of an agentic automation engine that delegates key business tasks to AI-powered agents—freeing up time for busy managers to focus on what matters. This role is perfect for a hands-on product leader who thrives at the intersection of AI, automation, and workforce management.

Responsibilities

• Define the vision, strategy, and roadmap for Gen AI agents that automate complex workforce management tasks.
• Lead the end-to-end product development of the MVP—validating hypotheses, iterating quickly, and shipping impactful solutions.
• Collaborate with engineering, design to build scalable, intelligent automation.
• Partner with customers to deeply understand pain points and design AI-driven workflows that add real value.
• Balance innovation with practicality—prioritizing features that deliver business impact while managing technical constraints.
• Work cross-functionally to integrate AI agents seamlessly within Deputy’s platform.
• Track success with clear KPIs, continuously refining and improving based on user feedback and adoption

Skills & Experience

• 7+ years in product management, with a strong track record in AI, automation, or enterprise SaaS.
• Experience building and launching 0 to 1 AI/ML-powered products, ideally in a B2B environment.
• Deep understanding of LLMs, agentic workflows, and automation frameworks (prior technical exposure is a plus).
• Exceptional problem-solving and product-thinking skills, with the ability to turn ambiguity into action.
• Strong customer empathy, with a passion for improving the lives of shift-based and hourly workers.
• Data-driven mindset—able to define success metrics and make informed decisions quickly.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders and drive alignment.
