Who are we looking for?

Senior Product Managers at CareerPlug obsess over delivering value that our clients and partners love and works for the business! We’re looking for someone who’s technical enough to dig-in, very client-focused, business-savvy, and skilled at guiding teams through continuous discovery, shaping, testing, iterating, and launching.

This role is for someone who thrives in the most meaningful parts of product work: turn messy problems into clear, outcome-focused objectives, transforming insights into opportunities, driving continuous learning, shaping value (not features), and keeping squads aligned, unblocked, and moving forward.

If you love product work in its full complexity and get energized by digging in and figuring things out this might be the perfect fit. We’re looking for someone who thrives in ambiguity, learns continuously (Keep Growing is one of our Core Values) and brings the rare mix of curiosity, thinking deeply about problems that matter, and is a storyteller at heart.

Key Responsibilities

Connect insights to opportunities and maintain a clean, accurate strategic backlog by ensuring every insight is processed, tagged, and linked to the right opportunity
Use data to influence decisions, validate assumptions, and shape product strategy
Maintain Airfocus as a single, discoverable product source of truth
Transform feedback into actionable insights that strengthen decision-making
Shape high-quality opportunities and guide squads toward delivering meaningful outcomes
Stay deeply connected to the needs, struggles, and motivations of clients and partners by participating in client interviews
Create alignment, remove blockers, and keep your squads moving forward confidently by ensuring every teammate knows what’s most important, why it matters, and what’s happening next
Ensure the product team stays close to clients by sourcing testimonials and discovery conversations
Track plan expansion and upgrade metrics, understanding what drives increases or declines – and guide clients toward the right plan through behavioral signals and value realization
Provide the storytelling, context, and clarity needed for company-wide launch success
Drive clear, timely, transparent communication during product incidents
Champion clarity and belief in the product’s direction and evolution

Job Requirements

6+ years of experience in Product Management at a SaaS company
Experience in franchising and/or HR tech is a huge plus!
Experience leading continuous discovery: interviewing customers, running assumption tests, validating problems, and shaping opportunities
Strong collaboration skills with engineering, design, and go-to-market teams – you know how to create alignment
Excellent communication and storytelling skills
A mindset of continuous learning and experimentation – you iterate and embrace feedback!
You’re comfortable working in complex domains – ambiguity, competing priorities, and imperfect information don’t slow you down
Ability to manage multiple streams of work with clarity and calmness, even when the stakes are high
People like working and partnering with you. And you help create an environment where collaboration feels easy and people can do their best work.
