About the opportunity
As an Associate Product Manager for the Platform Security team, your objective is to bring the next generation of platform security capabilities to life.

In this role, you’ll translate complex, highly technical concepts into clear, actionable content—developer documentation, update decks, and enablement materials that make Dayforce security features easy to understand, adopt, and love. You’ll help coordinate internal and external communications for launches, gather feedback from customers and field teams, and track adoption signals to inform future improvements. Along the way, you’ll build hands-on product skills in discovery, prioritization, and execution while learning how enterprise security and great UX come together at scale (think SSO/MFA, provisioning, permissions models, and auditability).

We believe in working hard and having fun. If you want to be part of a team where innovation fuels your world and career growth is abundant, choose Dayforce.
