Senior Lead Technical Product Manager

ADP is hiring a Senior Lead Technical Product Manager

 

We’re hiring a Senior Lead Technical Product Manager to join the team working on ADP’s next-generation SMB HCM/Payroll platform. You’ll join a growing team of PMs, designers, engineers, and data scientists combining emerging technologies with ADP’s industry leading HCM expertise to develop first-of-their-kind products in payroll, HR, time, benefits, and compliance.

 

We’re looking for someone who thrives on ambiguity, rapid change, and hard operational constraints. You’ll operate with wide latitude, working across technical, business, and design partners to clarify messy requirements, shape and socialize durable roadmaps, and architect product decisions that build real-world customer trust and confidence. You know your toolbox, but you’re eager to expand it, bringing a repertoire of planning, prioritization, and validation techniques from experience across diverse domains and problems.

 

You’re energized by new problems, able to defend your product decisions, and ready to push for technical, design, and market excellence. You raise the overall craft level by sharing approaches, mentoring junior teammates, and embodying high standards and best practices.

Here's what you can expect on a typical day:

 

• Scrums and keeping momentum:You’ll work with multiple teams (sometimes at once) to clarify responsibilities, anticipate obstacles, and keep priorities moving. You represent in cross-team forums and are often the go-to for gnarlier x-org, vendor, or integration blockers.
• Research & Requirements:Beyond authoring sharp briefs, you scope and pressure-test requirements, incorporating your own primary research, prototypes, or validation experiments as needed. If there’s no test plan for the latest version of the model, or if analytics updates are dragging, you’ll pick up the baton and drive it yourself. You break down vague, multi-path deliverables into testable, deliverable roadmap.
• Relationships:You build alliances in every direction, mentoring junior PMs or designers, leveling up team practices, and educating and collaborating with stakeholders. Your comms are sharp and your thoughtful approach to gaining alignment demonstrates the depth and range of your experience. You adapt formality, volume, and channel to fit your audience and moment.
• Measurement:You work backwards from outcomes. You set objectives up front, ensure the team and the product are set up with analytics and feedback capabilities, and adjust course as evidence emerges. You’re comfortable with various kinds and quality of data, and how to get it… whether analyzing KPIs, querying a database, or running a short user testing cycle.
• Variety of work:You wear many hats: drafting new technical specs for the data model, testing work-in-progress features and integrations, wireframing out rough solutions, investigating partner or internal API specs and SLAs, building business cases, slide-smithing for upcoming reviews and updates. You do whatever advances the product.
• Influence & Persuasion:You present and defend priorities and positions with pressure-testing executives and skeptical teams. In your interactions with stakeholders, you advance by emphasizing product thinking and decision-making discipline.
• Integrations:You lead the charge on (external and internal) partner engagement, from technical diligence to execution and change management with Sales, Marketing, Operations, and Service teams.
