The posting

The Senior Director, Product Management is a strategic product leader responsible for defining product vision, roadmap strategy, and business outcomes for our Benefits and HR Product Domains. Reporting to the Chief Product Officer, this role is accountable for building and leading a world-class product management organization while maintaining hands-on ownership of a key product area during the team-building phase.

This is not a sit-behind-a-desk-and-direct position. This is a roll-up-your-sleeves role that creates visibility for you and your team within CoAd, across the customer base, and in the market. You will lead discovery and delivery, establish product operating models, coach emerging PMs, and drive outcomes. We are a fast-paced organization and expect this role to keep up or go faster.

The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in HCM, Benefits administration, and Talent management, enabling them to proactively identify market opportunities, anticipate customer needs, and shape product investments that strengthen CoAd's competitive position. You will partner closely with the Business and Technology stakeholders to ensure your product domain delivers measurable customer and business value.

Why This Role Matters

The Senior Director of Product Management shapes the customer experience, revenue potential, and market differentiation within a critical product domain. Success requires a leader who combines deep HCM and Benefits expertise with strong product leadership, strategic thinking, and an obsessive focus on delivering measurable customer and business value.

This leader will set the agenda for what your product domain builds next - driving the product investments, platform capabilities, and customer experiences that position CoAd as the provider of choice in the HCM and payroll market. As you scale from an individual contributor mindset to a leader of leaders, you will establish the PM operating model, hire and develop emerging talent, and create a culture of customer obsession and accountability. CoAd is competing to lead this market, not follow it, and this role is critical to getting there.

● Serve as the relentless voice of the customer; champion customer needs and market insights across all product decisions

● Establish and embed scalable feedback loops—direct customer interviews, support ticket analysis, NPS research, usability testing, and competitive intelligence—into your product rhythm

● Identify opportunities to improve customer outcomes, employee experience (EX), market differentiation, and competitive positioning

Cross-Functional Leadership & Execution

● Partner closely with Business and Technology leadership to ensure product strategy aligns with engineering capacity and technical direction

● Build strong relationships with Operations, Sales, Customer Success, Marketing, Finance, and Executive Leadership

● Drive organizational alignment around product priorities and business outcomes; remove obstacles and accelerate decision-making

People Leadership & Team Development

● Recruit, onboard, and develop a team of product managers; establish role expectations, competencies, and career ladders

● Establish accountability frameworks, decision-making processes, and governance within the product function

● Coach PMs through 1:1s, roadmap reviews, and structured feedback; elevate PM craft and product discipline across the organization

● Build a culture of customer obsession, data-informed decision making, ownership, and accountability

Product Governance & Performance Management

● Define and monitor product KPIs and success metrics aligned to business outcomes (delivery velocity, feature adoption, NRR impact, PEPM expansion, module attach rates)

● Monitor roadmap execution and product performance; hold teams accountable to delivery commitments

● Ensure teams remain focused on delivering measurable customer and business value

AI-Enabled Product Innovation

● Partner with the Head of AI to identify and prioritize AI-enabled product opportunities within your domain

● Incorporate AI capabilities into product strategy and roadmap planning to drive customer outcomes and competitive differentiation

● Support the development of intelligent, scalable customer experiences that reduce client churn and expand PEPM

Required Skills & Experience

● 10+ years of progressive Product Management experience, with demonstrated success in HCM, payroll, benefits administration, workforce management, or complex multi-product B2B SaaS environments

● 5+ years in people leadership roles with direct P&L responsibility and proven success hiring, developing, and coaching product managers

● Deep expertise in Human Capital Management (HCM), payroll, benefits administration, and related HR/workforce technology workflows

● Proven ability to establish or significantly elevate a product management operating model from the ground up

● Strong player-coach: credible in the details of customer discovery and product delivery, while building and managing a team

● Exceptional cross-functional leadership skills; proven ability to align Engineering, UX, Architecture, Finance, and GTM around shared outcomes

● Strong business acumen and data literacy; ability to frame trade-offs, risks, and ROI clearly for executive audiences

● Experience developing product strategy, defining roadmaps, and leading complex product portfolios within SaaS or enterprise software environments

● Understanding of modern product operating models, agile methodologies, and software development lifecycles

Preferred Skills & Experience

● Experience scaling a product organization from early-stage to mid-market or enterprise

● Track record managing product portfolios with multi-product roadmaps and complex dependencies

● Experience leading product organizations within a PEO, payroll provider, HCM platform, or benefits administration company

● Experience building and supporting AI-enabled products, automation initiatives, and digital transformation programs

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
