Job description

Our mission at Greenhouse is to make hiring work for everyone – so we go to great lengths to hire great people because we believe that they’re the foundation of our success. At Greenhouse, you’ll join a team that collaborates purposefully, fosters inclusivity, and communicates with transparency and accountability so we can achieve our mission.

Join us to do the best work of your career, solving meaningful problems with remarkable teams.

Greenhouse is looking for a Senior Product Manager to lead some of Greenhouse’s most strategic initiatives. In this role, you will act as the glue between business strategy, technology, and user experience. You don’t just manage tasks; you will drive product vision, prioritize the most valuable features, and influence cross‑functional teams without direct authority to deliver products that users love.

Who will love this job

• Customer Obsessed: Puts the user first, practicing continuous discovery and using empathy to identify real pain points rather than just building what sales or internal stakeholders demand.
• Ruthless Prioritizer: Focuses on impactful outcomes over outputs, making the tough calls on what moves the needle and tactfully saying "no" to features that don’t align with the North Star metric.
• Influences Without Authority: Because Product Managers do not manage engineers or designers directly, they lead by building credibility, aligning diverse teams, and clearly communicating the "why" behind the product roadmap.
• Data-Driven Decision Marker: Uses metrics as a critical input to validate ideas, measure success, and iterate, balancing quantitative data with strong product intuition.
• Delivers Impact : Strong understanding of how to quickly deliver impactful products to market and continuously driving growth and adoption to deliver meaningful results.

What you’ll do

• Strategic Discovery: Conduct deep market research, competitive analysis, and customer interviews to uncover untapped opportunities and validate core product hypotheses.
• MVP & Validation: Design rapid experiments (prototypes) to validate ideas quickly, mitigate risks, and define your "Minimum Viable Product".
• Product-Market Fit: Analyze usage data and feedback post-launch to rapidly iterate. Lead the "Go/No-Go" decisions on scaling or pivoting the product.
• Roadmap Ownership: Define the strategic roadmap and North Star metrics, balancing trade‑offs across engineering, design, and business constraints.
• Risk & Issue Management: Identify, assess, and resolve potential roadblocks or risks, executing mitigation strategies when issues arise.
• Cross-Functional Leadership: Lead multidisciplinary, cross‑functional squads of engineers, designers, and data scientists (without direct line management) to ship features rapidly.
• Go-to-Market (GTM) Strategy: Collaborate with Marketing, Sales, and Finance to develop pricing, positioning, and long‑term unit economic models.

You should have

• Experience: 8+ years of Product Management experience, ideally with at least 3+ years focused on 0-to-1 product development, startup environments, or founding PM roles ideally in B2B SaaS or regulated industry (FinTech, HRTech, Healthcare). Previous experience as a Software Engineer is not a requirement but a plus.
• Ambiguity Mastery: Thrives in chaotic, undefined environments where the path forward is not mapped out.
• Lean Methodology: Expert‑level understanding of Lean Startup methodologies, experiment design, and data instrumentation.
• Technical Depth: Ability to collaborate effectively with engineering teams, understand technical architectures, and evaluate technical trade‑offs. This hire must have the ability to help drive and participate in the conversations around technical system architecture, product design, and software development cycles for their area of ownership.
• AI Fluency: Ability to understand AI/ML capacities, limitations, and data requirements to build valuable user features and collaborate closely with technical teams using the latest frontier LLMs and when to use simpler, rule‑based systems instead.
• Storytelling: Strong communication and influence skills, with a proven ability to pitch visions and secure buy‑in from executive stakeholders. Serve as the central communication hub, providing regular status updates to clients, executives, and team.
• Your own unique talents! Your background has given you a unique perspective and set of transferable skills that aren’t always in alignment with a given role - but those are qualities we value at Greenhouse.
