Lead Technical Product Manager

ADP is hiring a Lead Technical Product Manager

 

We’re hiring a 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, and 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 comfortable with ambiguity, rapid change, and hard constraints: every decision needs to hold up under real-world scale and desirability.

You’re energized by new problems, able to defend your product decisions, and ready to push for technical, design, and market excellence.

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

 

• You'll start each day working with teams to understand responsibilities, identify any issues, and communicate priorities. You'll continue to have meetings throughout the day as you collaborate across the organization to create and organize your roadmap and backlog.
• Research & Requirements. You'll work closely with design and technical SMEs. You’re excellent at writing sharp 1-page design briefs with the key ingredients to inspire and guide the solutioning process. You'll document and prioritize product features, working backwards from a prototype, scope, or positioning document to break down user stories and specifications that development teams depend on to execute. You're always learning and researching new industry trends to make our products better. You'll incorporate what makes sense into your product roadmap based on our clients, the market, ADP's goals, and what impact the future of tech will have on your products.
• You'll create strong alliances with varied stakeholders and ensure everyone is in this together. You continually drive progress and innovation with technical and non-technical partners, inspiring everyone to make the product the best it can be.
• You always work backwards from a vision for the future, including definitions of success. To ensure your product is on the right track and delivering the value you intend (for both clients and ADP), you routinely measure product effectiveness, report outcomes, and drive priorities to get fulfill the potential of the team and the technology.
• Variety of work. There is no typical day. You could be working with UX and UXR on journey maps in the morning, defining a backlog of upcoming enhancements in the afternoon, and creating the first draft of a brand new business case before logging off for the day. Best part? You'll get to see those ideas come to life.
• Presentations & Persuasion. You'll speak to internal and external stakeholders to communicate and defend ideas while answering critical questions. You’re capable at persuading and influencing partners with varying seniority and technical expertise.
• HCM covers too many domains for any one team (even a gigantic one) to fully build out its own solutions.You will partner with internal or external partners/vendors to help fill in some product gaps, and debate the merits of various integration approaches. Engaging with external partners, you will play a central role with teams including Business Development, Procurement, OpSec, as well as the vendor teams throughout the contracting and onboarding phase, and into delivery.
