Who You Are

Justworks is seeking a Product Manager to work on a nascent product and budding team. We released a minimally viable product at the end of 2022, and now we're building on those foundations. This is an opportunity to build a product at its core, and shape processes that can evolve with a growing team. Product Managers shape priorities by looking wide and understanding contexts across teams. With an ear in so many spaces, Product folks are well-positioned to problem-solve and enable others’ success. 

This position is based out of the Justworks Labs office (Chelsea, Manhattan), where we focus on innovation and future horizons.
