Senior Product Manager - Equity

Deel is the all-in-one payroll and HR platform for global teams. Our vision is to unlock global opportunity for every person, team, and business. Built for the way the world works today, Deel combines HRIS, payroll, compliance, benefits, performance, and equipment management into one seamless platform. With AI-powered tools and a fully owned payroll infrastructure, Deel supports every worker type in 150+ countries—helping businesses scale smarter, faster, and more compliantly.

As a Senior Product Manager, you will own the execution and evolution of Deel’s Equity product, a fast-growing and strategically important area within our Core Data organisation. You’ll work closely with senior leaders, engineers, and cross-functional partners across compliance, payroll, and compensation to deliver a best-in-class global equity experience.

This role sits at the intersection of fintech, payroll, HR, and compliance. You will be responsible for translating complex equity concepts into scalable product solutions, helping power one of Deel’s most important and rapidly expanding revenue lines.

Equity is a critical component of how companies attract, retain, and reward talent globally, yet it remains highly complex, fragmented, and manual — especially when you go global. At Deel, we are building a global equity platform that connects equity data, payroll, and compliance into a seamless experience.

You’ll join at a pivotal moment: owning execution for a high-growth product with low market penetration, strong demand, and a clear path to scale.

What you’ll do:

• Own the day-to-day execution of the Equity product, working across both equity data and equity services.
• Drive delivery of a roadmap focused on AI, automation, scalability, and global compliance.
• Partner closely with engineering (distributed across EMEA and APAC) to ship high-impact features quickly.
• Work cross-functionally with compliance, payroll, and compensation product teams to ensure seamless integration.
• Define how Deel ingests and models equity data from external systems (e.g., stock administration platforms like Carta, Shareworks, Fidelity, and more).
• Build and improve workflows around key equity events (e.g. vesting, reporting, compliance handling).
• Identify and prioritise opportunities to reduce manual processes and operational overhead.
• Support expansion of the equity product into new geographies and additional worker types.
• Contribute to connecting equity into Deel’s broader ecosystem (e.g. total compensation and rewards).
• Communicate progress, priorities, and trade-offs clearly to stakeholders across product and business teams.
• Operate in a fast-paced, high-ownership environment where speed and execution are critical.

What success looks like in 12 months:

• Delivery of a clear and well-executed roadmap focused on AI, automation, and product expansion.
• Reduction in manual operational processes through scalable product improvements.
• Increased adoption of the equity product across new worker types and geographies.
• Strong collaboration with compliance, payroll, and compensation product teams.
• Measurable growth in product usage and contribution to revenue within the Equity service.

What you’ll bring:

• 5 years of experience in Product Management.
• Strong execution skills with the ability to deliver quickly in a fast-moving environment.
• Experience working in fintech, payroll, compliance, or other complex regulated domains (highly preferred).
• Solid understanding of financial concepts, or the ability to ramp quickly on equity and compensation structures.
• Experience working cross-functionally with engineering and non-technical stakeholders.
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and owning a product area end-to-end.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to simplify complex topics.
• Experience working in distributed, global teams.

Nice to have:

• Experience with equity management, stock administration platforms, or cap table systems.
• Background in payroll or compliance-heavy environments.
• Experience building products that integrate with external financial or HR systems.
