Role overview
Horizons is a global Employer of Record (EOR) and remote employment platform that enables companies to hire, pay, and manage talent compliantly in 100+ countries. The Senior Product Manager owns a core product area end to end, driving strategy, roadmap, and execution to scale Horizons’ global employment, payroll, and compliance platform.​

Key responsibilities
Define and own product strategy and roadmap for a major product area (e.g. onboarding, payroll, compliance, or growth), tightly aligned with company OKRs and revenue goals.​

Work in a cross-functional squad (Product, Engineering, Design, QA…) to deliver high-velocity, high-quality outcomes, not just features.​

Translate customer, sales, and operations insights into clear product requirements, user stories, and success metrics.​

Prioritize ruthlessly across competing initiatives using quantitative impact models and qualitative insight, maintaining a transparent, data-driven backlog.​

Own the full lifecycle from discovery, problem validation, and solution design through launch, measurement, and iteration for your domain.​

Partner with InfoSec, Legal, and Finance to ensure products meet complex local employment, tax, and payroll regulations across markets.​

Collaborate with GTM teams (Sales, Success, Marketing) to define positioning, packaging, and enablement for new capabilities.​

Monitor product performance, funnels, and customer health, and proactively drive experiments to improve acquisition, activation, retention, and monetization when relevant.​

Act as product evangelist internally and externally, clearly articulating the product vision and roadmap to leadership, stakeholders, and key customers.​

Mentor and provide product craft guidance to mid-level Product Managers and PMs in adjacent areas.​

What success looks like
Material uplift in core business KPIs (e.g. activations, payroll volume, gross margin, churn) attributable to your product decisions.​

Predictable delivery from your squad, with clear trade-off reasoning and minimal scope churn.​

Measurable improvements in user experience and internal operational efficiency in your domain (e.g. reduced onboarding time, fewer support tickets, lower payroll error rate).​

Required experience
6–10+ years in B2B SaaS product management, including 3+ years owning a major product area with significant revenue or regulatory impact.​

Direct experience in HR tech, fintech, payroll, or compliance-heavy domains, ideally at remote-first, global scale-up or startup.​

Proven track record of shipping impactful products in ambiguous environments, with clear before/after metrics.​

Strong product discovery skill: customer interviews, problem framing, hypothesis design, experimentation, and A/B testing where applicable.​

High proficiency with analytics (e.g. Amplitude, Mixpanel, Looker, or similar) and translating data into product decisions.​

Solid understanding of agile product development and how to work effectively with distributed engineering and design teams.​

Excellent written and verbal communication in English and ability to influence senior stakeholders and executives.​

Nice to have
Experience building products used by HR, People Ops, and Finance teams (EOR, global payroll, contractor management, or HRIS).​

Background working with or integrating payment providers and global payout networks.​

Prior experience in fully remote, asynchronous organizations spanning multiple time zones.​
