Are you a Product Manager who wants real ownership of the product roadmap, not just a backlog to groom? Have you shipped payments or transactional features that customers actually use, and helped shape where the product roadmap goes next? Do you want to be the Product Manager driving a payments push at a fast-growing platform? If you're a Product Manager, Senior Product Manager, or Product Owner ready to be fully empowered as a PM, please read on.

This company builds vertical SaaS for the high school athletics world, managing everything from athlete registration and eligibility to scheduling and payments. After a decade of dialing in product-market fit, it is at a real growth inflection, expanding deeper into its existing customer base with a major new payments and transactions push. The product is moving into its next generation, and this hire steps in as the first PM hire (aside from the VP) with direct access to the founders who hold the product vision and an engineering team that ships continuously.

What You Will Own

• Take over day-to-day product execution and planning sessions
• Build a customer discovery and feedback loop/pipeline from scratch
• Run customer interviews, synthesize themes, and validate direction
• Direct the UI/UX team (and keep them ahead of fast-moving engineering)
• Translate customer needs into clear specs and acceptance criteria
• Set engineering team deliverables (moving towards AI-assisted dev)
• Drive the next-generation payments experience forward

Plus Skills

• Payments or registration product experience
• Edtech, K-12, or school athletics exposure (or has been a coach!)
• Comfort working alongside AI-assisted development
• Located in the south with ability to be in office on occasion

What You'll Get

• Competitive Compensation: base pay plus bonus
• Strong benefits (health, dental, 401k) and an INCREDIBLE culture (think startup without the crazy hours)
• Excellent growth opportunity
• High-ownership and direct access to the founders
• Remote-friendly, with an optional in-office day for local candidates
