Product Manager

St. Pete, FL
Full Time
Mid Level

Location: Remote (select states)
Candidates must currently reside in one of the following states:
Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, or Virginia.

Position Overview

The Product Manager owns end-to-end prioritization, scoping, and delivery for a core area of the company's platform. This role sets the standard for what "ready for engineering" means, drives the backlog from ambiguous business requests to buildable, well-defined work, and keeps engineering, client services, and business stakeholders genuinely aligned rather than working around each other. The role partners closely with engineering, client services, marketing, sales, and operations to identify priorities, scope solutions, and keep delivery moving without sacrificing quality.

Key Responsibilities

Product & Conversion Ownership

  • Own backlog health and refinement — tickets arrive at planning with clear acceptance criteria, right-sized scope, and no ambiguity left for the room to untangle live.
  • Prioritize the team backlog by balancing client/business requests against technical debt and platform health, and make tradeoffs explicit to stakeholders rather than implicit.
  • Partner with client services and business stakeholders in analyzing requests, client feedback, and operational pain points to identify and prioritize opportunities.
  • Track outstanding requests proactively — nothing sits blocked on an external party without a named owner and a follow-up cadence.

Requirements & Specification

  • Translate business ideas into clear technical requirements — most requests arrive as a business problem, not a deliverable, and it's in this role to determine what's actually needed and who else needs to weigh in.
  • Write and maintain requirements, acceptance criteria, and edge cases precise enough that engineering can build against them without re-litigating scope in every meeting.
  • Support engineering by clarifying open questions, unblocking ambiguous requirements, and making scope decisions when tradeoffs arise mid-build.

Process & Standards

  • Define and continuously improve how refinement, sprint planning, and stakeholder acceptance work for the team, fitting the team's size and delivery cadence.
  • Maintain consistency in how tickets are written, scoped, and tracked across the backlog, so quality doesn't depend on who happened to write a given ticket.
  • Partner with engineering to keep documentation and decision records accurate as systems evolve, so past decisions don't need to be re-derived from scratch.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Collaborate with leadership and stakeholders across engineering, client services, marketing, sales, and operations to align priorities with business rules, compliance needs, and support workflows.
  • Facilitate cross-functional decisions that don't belong to any single team — surfacing who needs to weigh in (legal/compliance, engineering feasibility, business priority) before a direction is chosen.
  • Represent the user/client perspective in cross-functional discussions, surfacing risks and identifying opportunities to improve product and client experience.

Scope & Leadership

  • Serve as a primary point of contact and decision-maker for prioritization and scoping questions across the team.
  • Operate as a peer and partner to engineering — holding the line on scope and quality while staying genuinely collaborative when priorities shift or new information surfaces.
  • Champion a culture of clear communication and evidence-based decision making, bringing data and stakeholder input into planning rather than relying on whoever asked most recently or loudest.

Additional Responsibilities 

  • Perform other related duties, ad hoc tasks, and special projects as assigned to support departmental and organizational goals.

Required Qualifications

  • 3+ years of product management experience, ideally in a B2B SaaS, CRM, or insurance/fintech environment.
  • Demonstrated ability to run backlog refinement and sprint planning with engineering teams.
  • Strong written communication — able to turn a messy conversation into a clean, unambiguous story.
  • Experience working directly with client-facing teams (sales, client services, support) on external integration or feature requests.
  • Familiarity with Jira or a comparable tool for backlog/sprint management.
  • Comfortable pushing back on both engineering and stakeholders when scope or requirements aren't ready.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
