About the Role:We are seeking a Product Manager to join our Incubation & Innovation team. This role is responsible for identifying, validating, and launching new AI-driven product capabilities that address real customer needs and create durable business value. This role is well-suited for a product manager who understands how to innovate within a scaled SaaS environment and translate experimentation into impact. 
About the Team:You will work within a small, cross-functional incubation team, operating with clear goals, fast learning cycles, and high accountability. While this role focuses on early-stage discovery and experimentation, success is measured by outcomes—validated demand, scalable solutions, and clear paths to revenue, retention, or efficiency gains. 

What You’ll Do

  • Identify high-value opportunities where AI can improve hiring outcomes, platform differentiation, and customer ROI 
  • Lead structured discovery and validation efforts, including customer interviews, market analysis, and rapid experimentation 
  • Define product hypotheses, MVPs, success metrics, and decision frameworks to evaluate investment and scale potential 
  • Partner with Engineering teams to deliver high-quality prototypes and early product iterations 
  • Translate emerging AI capabilities (e.g., LLMs, automation, decision support) into commercially viable, customer-ready solutions 
  • Balance speed with rigor—ensuring solutions are reliable, explainable, and aligned with customer expectations 
  • Communicate product vision, progress, learnings, and business impact to senior stakeholders and leadership 
  • Contribute to repeatable incubation and innovation processes that support ongoing growth and portfolio expansion 

What You Bring:

  • 5–8+ years of product management experience in B2B SaaS environments 
  • Experience leading early-stage or 0→1 product initiatives within a scaled organization 
  • Hands-on experience delivering AI-powered products or working closely with AI/ML teams 
  • Strong analytical and decision-making skills, with a focus on measurable outcomes and tradeoffs 
  • Ability to operate effectively in a PE-backed or results-driven environment with clear expectations and accountability 
  • Excellent communication skills across technical teams and executive stakeholders 

It's a plus if you have:

  • Experience in hiring, HR tech, or workforce technology 
  • Familiarity with responsible AI, governance, and enterprise compliance requirements 
  • Experience balancing innovation with platform stability, security, and scale 
Why You’ll Love Working Here: Make an impact: Your work will directly shape how thousands of employees experience total rewards at Employ — ensuring programs that attract, engage, and retain top talent across the globe. Meaningful, mission-driven work: Join a team where operational excellence in HR directly supports Employ’s mission to improve hiring outcomes for both people and businesses. Remote-first culture: Work from where you’re most productive while staying connected to a collaborative, high-energy team through virtual-first rituals and regular
