This role is ideal for a senior-level product manager who thrives in high-stakes "0 to 1" environments. You should have at least 6 years of PM experience, with a proven track record of launching new products from scratch in highly regulated industries like Fintech or Tax. The hiring team is specifically looking for an "AI-native" builder who knows how to leverage GenAI and Machine Learning to automate workflows and create modern user experiences. The position offers a strong compensation package with significant geographic flexibility, though it does require a hybrid commitment (2-3 days in-office) if you are near one of their hubs. You will be joining an empowered, lean team within a subsidiary that functions like a startup but has the massive scale of a parent company protecting over 64 million workers' paychecks. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have successfully launched and scaled a new product in a regulated category (Fintech, Legal, or HR Tech). * Are comfortable with ambiguity and enjoy "getting your hands dirty" with prototyping and design. * Can demonstrate how you’ve used AI tools to increase team velocity or improve product features. * Want the autonomy to lead long-term strategy and define market positioning for a new business line.
