This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Canada.
• Establish the reporting and insights strategy: Outline the vision and roadmap for a comprehensive reporting system that encompasses in-app report creation, dashboards, scheduled distribution, exports, APIs/connectors, embedded partner interfaces, and AI/agent interactions.
• Gain a deep understanding of customer reporting requirements: Develop empathy for payroll, finance, HR, executives, managers, internal operators, and partner/builder personas — translating various workflows, trust factors, and AI readiness levels into distinct product priorities.
• Create reliable reporting foundations: Take ownership of payroll-grade reporting functionalities, including standard reports, customizable report creation, GL/journal exports, variance analysis, reconciliation, definitions, permissions, lineage, auditability, and observability.
• Foster intelligent insights experiences: Determine where AI, anomaly detection, driver analysis, and proactive suggestions can assist users in understanding changes and subsequent actions — while ensuring outputs are explainable, source-supported, and compliant.
• Achieve results through effective cross-functional collaboration: Collaborate with Data, Engineering, Design, Security, Legal, Sales, CX, Finance, Operations, and partners to transform customer needs into technically robust, scalable reporting solutions.
• Evaluate and enhance impact: Set KPIs for adoption, engagement, trust, report accuracy, usage distribution, retention, expansion, and internal leverage; continuously utilize feedback and data to refine the product.
• Senior-Level Experience: Proven experience as a Product Manager with a strong emphasis on reporting, analytics, data platforms, workflows, or insights products.
• Proficiency in Cursor and/or Claude Code (Required): Must be capable of independently building, debugging, and deploying functional code and prototypes — not just writing specifications. Should understand data schemas, query patterns, analytics code, and AI-assisted workflows in a hands-on manner.
• Data Understanding & Fluency (Required): Strong end-to-end data literacy encompassing models/schemas, lineage, and report generation. Comfortable with grain/joins/aggregations and aware of common issues (double-counting, currency/timezone adjustments, effective dating, late-arriving data).
• Ability to read/write SQL to validate outcomes, investigate inconsistencies, and ensure metrics are well-defined, reconciled, and reliable. Collaborate effectively with Data/Engineering to address definition and modeling challenges.
• Customer Focus: Strong empathy for customers and a clear understanding of their daily workflow priorities.
• Stakeholder Management: Ability to align cross-functional stakeholders, navigate trade-offs, and keep teams concentrated on what is most important for customers.
• Strong UX Sensibilities: A passion for creating seamless experiences. You believe that complex data, reporting, and insights workflows should be perceived as simple, reliable, and beneficial to the end user.
• Outstanding Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills. Capable of explaining intricate data, reporting, AI, and compliance trade-offs to non-technical executives and clearly conveying value to both customers and internal stakeholders.
• Language: Business-level proficiency in written and spoken English.
• Domain Expertise (nice to have): Experience in HR Tech, payroll, finance, compliance, or B2B SaaS products. Familiarity with data models, reporting needs, compliance constraints, and common workflow challenges in this domain.
