AI at BambooHR

At BambooHR, we’re all about setting people free to do great work, and we believe AI is a powerful partner in that mission. We’re leaning into intelligent tools to streamline our workflows, giving us more time for high-impact innovation. We look for curious, forward‑thinking people who are ready to explore how AI can elevate their work and help us reimagine the future of HR.

Essential Job Duties

This role sits at the center of BambooHR’s Compensation and Benchmarking strategy within our HRIS product management team. You will own the product strategy and execution for experiences that help customers benchmark roles, manage compensation structures, guide pay decisions, and report on compensation with confidence.

You’ll build for multiple user groups: HR and People leaders who need trusted data and flexible workflows, managers who need clear context and guardrails for compensation decisions, and business leaders who need visibility into compensation trends, consistency, and budget impact.

You’ll work closely with Engineering, Product Design, Data, Customer Experience, Product Marketing, and adjacent BambooHR product teams to ensure compensation experiences are deeply connected to core HRIS data and people workflows. This is a high‑autonomy role on a collaborative team for a PM who enjoys solving sensitive, data‑rich workflow problems and turning them into elegant, scalable product experiences.

You will:

• Define the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for Compensation and Benchmarking within BambooHR.
• Build intuitive workflows for compensation planning, pay changes, approvals, pay ranges, and compensation review cycles.
• Create benchmarking experiences that help customers match roles, understand market pay, and make informed compensation decisions.
• Connect compensation workflows to core HRIS data and lifecycle moments, including employee records, job and level changes, location data, manager relationships, and other people workflows.
• Strengthen data, permissions, and reporting foundations by improving visibility into pay positioning, benchmark coverage, compensation changes, approval history, and auditability while protecting sensitive information.
• Partner with Engineering and Product Design to turn customer needs into clear requirements, prioritize tradeoffs, and deliver high‑impact solutions.
• Use data, research, and experimentation to improve product adoption, administrative efficiency, decision confidence, and customer value.
• Apply AI thoughtfully to reduce administrative effort, improve matching and insights, and surface relevant compensation context where it adds real value.

• 3+ years of PM experience, ideally in B2B SaaS, HR tech, compensation, benchmarking, workforce planning, analytics, finance, or other data‑rich workflow software.
• Domain fluency in compensation, HR, finance, workforce planning, or other operational workflows. You understand customer problems around pay ranges, market benchmarking, compensation planning, approvals, and reporting.
• Experience balancing administrator, manager, and leadership experiences. You can build powerful configuration, planning, and reporting tools while also giving decision‑makers the context they need.
• Strong product craft in systems‑rich environments. You’re comfortable with data models, permissions, workflow automation, reporting, and integrations.
• Experience working with sensitive data and designing trustworthy, permission‑aware experiences.
• AI as a practical tool. You use AI to accelerate your own work and think thoughtfully about where AI can create better product experiences.
• Analytical and customer‑centered. You use data, research, and experimentation to prioritize opportunities and measure outcomes.
• Entrepreneurial drive. You create clarity, move through ambiguity, and lead well across functions.

What Will Make Us REALLY Love You

• You are building with AI coding agents and love exploring the future of building great software.
• You’ve built products in HR tech, compensation, benchmarking, workforce planning, finance, analytics, or other decision‑support domains.
• You’ve worked on data‑rich B2B workflows where accuracy, trust, and permissions are critical.
• You’ve worked with market data, job architecture, role matching, or benchmarking systems.
• You’ve shipped products that connect data to customer action, such as recommendations, approvals, ranges, planning workflows, or reporting.
• You’ve worked with HR admins, compensation leaders, managers, finance partners, or executives as primary users and understand their competing needs.
• You’ve improved visibility into compensation planning, approval history, sensitive reporting, or auditability.
• You’ve explored AI‑assisted matching, summarization, anomaly detection, or decision support in a practical customer‑facing product.
