Senior Product Manager, Remote Build

About Remote: Remote is solving a huge challenge for global organizations: compliantly employing anyone, anywhere. We make it possible for businesses to employ a global team by handling global payroll, benefits, taxes, and compliance. We're backed by A+ investors and our team is world-class, literally and figuratively - we're scattered around the world working together within a culture of kindness and excellence. We encourage folks from all ethnic groups, genders, sexuality, age and abilities to apply. If this job description resonates with you, we want to hear from you!

How we work: While we love working async we have live interactions too. We aspire to minimize meetings and encourage you to create your own schedule based on when you're able to do your best work. We empower ownership, proactivity, and default to action. We operate based on treating each other with kindness and support each other as a team.

The position: This is an exciting time to join Remote and shape a new business as the Senior Product Manager, Remote Build. Remote Build is Remote's move on the agentic shift: as AI agents proliferate across HR and Finance stacks, they need to route through the employment infrastructure layer — labour law across 100+ countries, payroll, entity structures, the compliance rail. Remote product teams develop the core; Remote Build delivers the rest with customers — deploying standard connectors, building bespoke ones, co-building custom apps and agents on top of Remote's APIs, MCP, and CLI, and running managed services after launch. This is a 0→1 role. Your mission: make every Build engagement compound — deciding which stay bespoke and which evolve into capabilities Remote owns, maintains, and improves long-term. You'll report to a Senior Group Product Manager and work closely with the Remote Build Principal (business, P&L) and Technical Lead (delivery, scoping).

General requirements:

• AI / agents fluency: You have shipped agent-facing or AI-native product surfaces and you have a clear point of view on what changes when agents — not humans — are the primary consumer of an API. Proficiency in Cursor and/or Claude Code is required. You must be able to autonomously build, debug, and ship functional code and prototypes — not just write specs.
• Senior-level experience: as a Product Manager, with a track record on platform, API, or developer-facing products. You have shipped surfaces other people build on.
• 0→1 builder: You have stood up a new product line or business from nothing. You are comfortable with ambiguous scope, unset baselines, and P&L thinking.
• The "product-biz" mindset: Proven ability to think commercially. You understand how a connector, an SDK, or a managed-service line shows up in revenue, gross margin, and retention.
• Outstanding customer-facing communication: Build trusted customer relationships, lead discovery and working sessions, translate needs into clear requirements, and align cross-functional stakeholders to deliver high-quality outcomes.
• Technical fluency: Familiarity with APIs, REST, Webhooks, OAuth, and the design choices that make a platform safe for external builders. You can read a partner's docs and identify the risks.
• Strong UX sensibilities: Great UX for the user, always. A connector, a custom app, or an agent should feel effortless to the person on the other side — every time.
• Great judgment-making: strategic (what to prioritize) and tactical (feature scope) decisions.
• Language: Business-level proficiency writing and speaking English.
• Domain advantage (nice to have): experience with HRIS, payroll, or fintech platforms (Workday, HiBob, Personio, BambooHR, Greenhouse, Netsuite, Merge, Finch, or similar).

Key responsibilities:

• Own demand signals and unit economics. Aggregate what customers are asking for across engagements, and own the packaging and pricing that make Remote Build services repeatable and profitable.
• Standard integrations — fast, fixed-fee deployments. Make deploying Remote's existing standard connectors fast, predictable, and fixed-fee.
• Custom integrations — build and productize new connectors. Remote Build builds the bespoke connectors customers ask for that don't yet exist. Decide which of those graduate from one-off into reusable connectors.
• Custom apps and agents — run the engagement model and outputs. Remote Build builds custom apps and agents with customers, on top of Remote's APIs, MCP, and CLI. Codify the patterns that repeat — reference architectures, agent templates, and starter kits.
• Managed services — productize the playbook. Turn the recurring services line into a product. Reusable processes, customer-facing surfaces, and the tooling that lets managed services scale on leverage, not headcount.
• Own the handoff from delivery into steady-state. Connect the dots across functions. Partner with the Remote Build leadership group, platform product teams, GTM, and customer success so every engagement is set up to succeed — commercially and technically.
• Give platform and feature teams insights. Turn Build engagements into clear, actionable feedback for platform and feature teams — what to add, fix, and productize across the APIs, MCP, CLI, and the product overall.
