About the Team / Product at Justworks
The Justworks Product team advances our mission by building products that extend levels of personal care and deep expertise that our customers have never experienced before. They craft innovative solutions that guide users through the most complicated challenges of running (and working for) a small business, with ease. They deeply understand complex regulatory spaces like FinTech, Healthcare, and HRTech, and have a keen intuition for how to connect threads across our customers’ needs and our business’ risk management and commercialization strategy.

By joining us, you’ll be part of an experienced team of Product Managers who have a proven track record of building large-scale software products that impact small businesses worldwide.
We’re looking for teammates who will help shape Justworks’ future and make a profound impact on our business. As a Product Manager, you’ll be working across complex spaces (Fintech, Healthcare, HR Tech - all with serious policy/regulatory environments). That will require you to have a keen intuition for customer needs, risk management, and commercialization. Care is at the center of everything we do, and you’ll need to love talking with customers and engaging with our Customer Success, Sales and Marketing teams to make sure that care is coming through in every part of our customers’ experience. You’ll be joining a diverse community of craftspeople who are passionate about learning, uphold exceptionally high standards of quality, and foster an environment of strategic thinking where product people can reach new heights.
About the Role / What You’ll Work On
The Partnerships team's mission is to build the integrations and partner ecosystem that drives retention and growth for Justworks' core customer segment. We connect small and mid-size businesses to the tools they depend on, and get Justworks in front of the right buyers at the right moment through the integrations our customers need, the platform that makes those integrations possible, and the strategic partnerships that expand our distribution.
The Lifecycle Domain, where the Partnerships mission team sits, is responsible for underpinning the end-to-end experience of Justworks’ customers—ensuring that every interaction, from shopping to graduation, is frictionless, straightforward, and deeply trustworthy. We build and scale experiences and services that handle our increasing set of customers and their growing needs across more and more stratified workforces. We succeed when our customers discover and pick the right mix of Justworks products for their individual needs, receive best-in-class support to run their business confidently, and utilize comprehensive tools to manage their workforce.
As a Senior Product Manager at Justworks, you'll play a high-impact role driving the roadmap of one or more pods focused on Partnerships. The work spans platform infrastructure, product integrations, and distribution, and the interesting work is in how they connect. You'll focus on scoping and prioritizing new initiatives with research-backed case development and work through the complete product development lifecycle to successful delivery. A meaningful part of this role is working directly with revenue and commercial stakeholders. You'll need to bring data-backed points of view into those conversations, push back when warranted, and translate partner and product decisions into business impact.
As a champion for your team's focus and productivity, you'll remove obstacles and develop team camaraderie to ensure maximum, high-quality output that aligns with Justworks' business objectives. Though not yet actively teaching product management, you'll operate independently within your scope and clearly articulate the reasoning behind your decisions to your peers and cross-functional stakeholders.
You'll own execution across Justworks' partnerships roadmap, working directly with external partners on technical and commercial specs and driving projects from scoping through delivery.
Day-to-day, you'll work closely with engineering to drive integration quality, partner experience, and platform extensibility, and with partners, revenue stakeholders, and internal teams to understand what integrations customers need most, how to prioritize them, and how to turn partner relationships into business outcomes.

They craft innovative solutions that guide users through the most complicated challenges of running (and working for) a small business, with ease. They deeply understand complex regulatory spaces like FinTech, Healthcare, and HRTech, and have a keen intuition for how to connect threads across our customers’ needs and our business’ risk management and commercialization strategy. Our Product Managers lead highly collaborative creative endeavors, bringing together stakeholders across engineering, design, data services, operations, and customer-facing teams to deliver tangible value. By joining us, you'll be part of an experienced team of Product Managers who have a proven track record of building large-scale software products that impact small businesses worldwide.
About the role
We’re looking for a Product Operations Manager who brings product thinking to the internal systems that power our Product organization. This is a highly leveraged, builder-oriented role focused on how work gets done – not just what gets built.
You’ll operate across domains (FinTech, Healthcare, HR Tech), partnering closely with Product, Engineering, Design, and GTM teams to identify where friction exists in how we plan, build, and scale. Rather than managing processes, you’ll design and implement the infrastructure – tooling, workflows, and knowledge systems – that makes great product work repeatable across the organization.
Care is central to how Justworks operates, and here, that extends to how we support our own teams. You’ll help ensure that PMs and cross-functional partners can spend more time on high-judgment work and less on coordination overhead, by building systems that are intuitive, scalable, and increasingly AI-native.
While this role is primarily operational, there will be moments where you step into a PM mindset – particularly when building internal tools and systems. You’ll define problems, design solutions, and iterate based on feedback, just as you would for a customer-facing product – with the product organization itself as your user.
Responsibilities
- Own and evolve the product development lifecycle as a system – using AI to diagnose breakdowns, redesign workflows, and continuously improve how we build
- Build AI-powered workflows that reduce the administrative layer of product work – including spec-to-GTM translation, synthesis of customer signals, QA scenario generation, and automated progress reporting
- Build and maintain the product organization’s knowledge layer and sources of truth – including roadmap data, decision logs, and project status – structured for both human and AI consumption
- Own and evolve the product tooling ecosystem – driving consistency, standardization, and thoughtful adoption across teams
- Drive adoption, enablement, and upskilling across the Product organization – ensuring teams effectively use the systems, tools, and AI workflows you build
- Scale what works – identify high-impact workflows and patterns emerging within teams and turn them into shared standards through tooling, documentation, and enablement
- Own PM hiring infrastructure and product ops metrics – including hiring design and onboarding, and defining and tracking the metrics that inform product leadership decisions
What you'll need
You’re a builder who applies product thinking to internal systems. You’re comfortable working across the Product organization and partnering with leadership to turn fragmented ways of working into scalable, durable infrastructure.
- 5+ years in product operations, product management, strategy/operations, or a related role — with a track record of building systems and tooling, not just managing processes
- Deep fluency with AI as a core part of your workflow — you use it instinctively in your own work and know how to design systems that meaningfully leverage it
- Strong product judgment applied internally — you approach operational problems with the same rigor as customer-facing ones, with a bias toward simple, scalable solutions
- High data fluency — able to define meaningful metrics, instrument systems, and translate insights into action
- Strong systems thinking — you can distinguish between process issues and structural problems, and know when to optimize vs redesign
- Clear, direct communication — able to surface what’s working and what isn’t, and influence across teams, including senior leadership
Nice to have
- Experience building or scaling a product organization’s operating system (e.g., PDLC, knowledge management, tooling, hiring, onboarding)
- Experience in a high-growth environment, ideally within a regulated domain (fintech, healthcare, HR tech)
The base wage range for this position based in our New York City Office is targeted at $127,000.00 to $173,300.00 per year.

About the role
The Tax team provides entrepreneurs the connective tissue with the government without the overhead of maintaining it all themselves. Billions of dollars reconciled across millions of paychecks and then paid to thousands of jurisdictions - that is the incredible scale of taxes and we see our mission in three-folds:
- Accuracy & Compliance: To efficiently and accurately calculate, deposit, and file payroll taxes, and manage compliance
- Customer Experience: To serve more small businesses and delight existing customers by streamlining tax setup, improving tax communications, and reducing confusion around complex regulatory requirements
- Operational Scale: To empower our internal Tax Operations teams to have outsized impact by building tooling, reporting, and reconciliation capabilities that enable them to efficiently scale
Our job is to bring visibility and confidence in customer tax management across federal, state and local agencies but most importantly, free them from concern so they can focus on their missions and make this world a better place.
As a Senior Product Manager on the Tax team, you'll play a high-impact role by driving the roadmap of one or more pods focused on Tax. You will work closely with engineers that like to regularly achieve their sprint goals, exceed their story point capacity, and still have the ambition to delight our customers and be excited to come to work with you. You are welcome to try to beat them at geoguesser or other games we play when we finish refinement early – likelihood of winning is low but effort is rewarded with camaraderie which we live through team lunches and never letting you feel alone when a challenge arises.
Equipped with this team, you’ll get to own business critical areas like tax calculation accuracy, filing operations, compliance workflows, and reconciliation tooling. You'll bring the ability to rally the team to solve complex problems with design, operations, engineering and compliance. They will in turn bolster your knowledge and capability to deliver. There will be a focus on scoping and prioritizing new initiatives with research-backed case development and work through the complete product development lifecycle to successful delivery. You don’t need to be an expert in compliance but you do need to know how to ask great questions of your working partners and balance both product and platform compliance.
As a champion for your team's focus and productivity, you'll remove obstacles and develop team camaraderie to ensure maximum, high-quality output that aligns with Justworks' business objectives. Though not yet actively teaching product management, you'll operate independently within your scope and clearly articulate the reasoning behind your decisions to your peers and cross-functional stakeholders.
Responsibilities
- Embrace complex platform and experience related stakeholder problems
- Partner with design to understand user pain points around tax filing, tax reporting, rate setup, and tax communications—especially in areas where regulatory language creates confusion
- Demonstrate expertise in deploying a product strategy and effectively tie insights to roadmap outcomes
- Scope, prioritize, and execute projects to deliver measurable business impact while ensuring clarity on objectives, leverage, and accountability for outcomes
- Partner deeply with Design and Engineering peers and organize and lead effective team processes and routines
- Own tax accuracy and compliance as product outcomes—understanding that errors have direct financial and regulatory impact on customers
- Demonstrate a rich understanding of engineering concepts, concerns and tradeoffs, and effectively communicate them to manage stakeholder expectations around deadlines and scope
- Drive camaraderie with your team while demonstrating effective collaboration with PMs across other pods/teams
What you’ll need
- Minimum of 5 years of product management experience in a modern technology business
- Excellent stakeholder management and ability to influence your working partners without authority
- Interest in leveraging generative AI to alleviate daily tasks and expedite delivery while retaining critical thinking and knowledge on core concepts
- Experience leading complex, cross-team initiatives from ideation to execution
- Track record of shipping continuous product improvements to an existing product portfolio at-scale
- Strong problem-solving skills, capable of breaking down complex problems for team execution against business needs
- Deep user empathy and a high bar for user experience
