Product Manager

Fantastic opportunity for a Product Manager to join a VC-funded, remote-first start-up focussed on building the future of multi-country employment & payroll.

Boundless was born from the belief that people should have the freedom to shape their work lives without forfeiting their right to secure employment. We started by looking for ways to offer compliance across borders. It’s what our founders had all struggled with in previous teams, but along the way, we figured that this is about so much more than ticking compliance boxes and not getting in trouble. We have since been raising the bar of what great remote employment looks like. For each new country where we establish our employment & payroll infrastructure and build internal expertise, we try to set the gold standard of remote employment. Currently, 19 people across 7 countries are working hard to make that a reality and help democratise access to well-paid jobs worldwide. Together we are commanding a rallying call to companies that are changing the way work works.

We’re focused on filling the Boundless team with people who ‘get it’. People who have experience working themselves remotely or who have tried to solve this problem before. People who enjoy the quality of life that remote working offers, and want to help others do the same.

People who care.

This is an autonomous role on the product team, reporting to C-Level. You will work alongside all internal stakeholders, advocate for all of our users and help us to run a tight ship. The product team currently consists of our Product Design Lead, Brendan, Product Engineers, Piotr and Matthew and Co-Founders Emily and Eamon. The team is growing and you will help shape that growth.

The Boundless product is more than just the software that onboards and manages payroll for employees; our product offering revolves around delivering compliant employment. For each country that we cover, we provide employment contracts, communicate important employment obligations and guide our customers on how to be a ‘good’ employer based on the culture in that country. Key users of the product are, of course, the customer and the employee but also in-country partners (payroll, benefits etc) and Boundless payroll and HR teams.

We currently have systems in place to get feature requests through the pipeline to design, build and release but we need help in shaping that pipeline and delivering it more efficiently, particularly as the team grows.

Specific responsibilities will include:

• Aligning internal stakeholders on the vision for our product and creating an actionable strategy for bringing it to production.
• Ongoing management of long and short term roadmaps.
• Thoroughly understand the problems you are working on through research and talking to users. Frame these problems for the rest of product team.
• Defining and tracking success criteria for features.
• Translating designs into actionable specifications to feed into the engineering backlog. Implementing phased approaches for larger pieces of work
• Management of feature release in conjunction with the marketing and customer success teams.
• Owning the delivery processes to get features from inception to release.
• Testing and acceptance of features in the short term to inform hiring plan for QA function.
• Shaping your own role as the product team grows.

Interesting projects on the roadmap right now:

• Kick off on product partnerships.
• Rollout of global and in-country benefits.
• Streamlining the internal invoicing and payments systems.
• Always, launching new countries.
