Job description

About Buckstop

Founded in 2025, Buckstop is building the intelligence layer for the circular economy. Our mission is to create a sustainable end-of-life for every electronic device on Earth, transforming yesterday's waste into tomorrow's resources.

We're reimagining how enterprises manage electronic assets by creating a platform that identifies, tracks, and maximizes the residual value of devices at scale. In a fragmented industry where value is lost through layers of intermediaries, Buckstop provides a single source of truth and execution.

Our founding team brings together leaders from manufacturing, logistics, reverse supply chains, energy, mining, and technology who have experienced the industry's challenges firsthand and are building the future of asset recovery and circular commerce.

Key Responsibilities

User Management & Insights

• Act as the voice of the user by establishing close feedback loops with enterprise customers, key stakeholders, and early adopters.
• Translate customer pain points, market opportunities, and complex operational requirements into clear product vision and feature roadmaps.
• Drive product adoption, track user journeys, and identify friction points across the platform.

Product Analytics & Technical Strategy

• Build and oversee our product analytics stack, synthesizing data from platforms like Mixpanel and Google Analytics to extract actionable behavioral insights.
• Define and measure core product metrics, funnels, and feature usage to inform roadmap prioritization.
• Work closely with the engineering team to establish tracking taxonomies and evaluate feature performance post-launch.

Product Operations & Systems Building

• Establish, build, and optimize core product management workflows and systems (e.g., in Asana) from scratch.
• Standardize product documentation, sprint planning, roadmap visibility, and release processes across the organization.
• Instill a high-velocity, highly structured product culture within the team.
• Bring strong UI/UX instincts to product definition, shaping intuitive user workflows and clean UI patterns for complex enterprise tools.
• Partner tightly across Buckstop to translate product requirements into wireframes, prototypes, and enterprise-grade user experiences.
• Use AI to rapidly generate and prototype product ideas.
• Ensure feature releases balance operational complexity with a frictionless user journey.

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications

• Three years of PM experience, shipping B2B or enterprise SaaS products, ideally in a startup or 0 to 1 environment.
• Hands on experience standing up product analytics from scratch (Mixpanel, Amplitude, or Google Analytics), including defining event taxonomies, not just reading dashboards someone else built.
• Direct experience building product operations infrastructure at a company that didn't already have it.
• Comfort operating with significant ambiguity: this is a startup; process here is something you build, not something you inherit.
• Excellent written and verbal communication; able to translate between enterprise customers, engineers, and leadership without losing precision in either direction.
• Experience in the energy, insurance, appraisal, or finance industry.

Preferred Qualifications

• Strong UI/UX instincts, evidenced by a portfolio or work samples of wireframes, prototypes, or shipped interfaces for complex or enterprise tools.
• Fluency with AI tools for rapid prototyping (e.g., generating mockups or product specs with AI rather than waiting on a design queue).

Who You Are

• You are comfortable presenting a point of view, not just a menu of options.
• You think in systems: workflows, taxonomies, and funnels, not just individual features.
• You enjoy working directly with founders, engineers, and customers.
• You thrive in ambiguity and build structure where none exists.
• You take ownership and operate with a builder mentality.

Why Buckstop

• Founding team level influence on the product function itself.
• Direct collaboration with founders and engineering leadership.
• Opportunity to define the analytics and operations backbone of an emerging category leader.
• Significant ownership and visibility across the company.
• Work on meaningful problems in the energy transition.
