We are seeking a highly skilled Product Manager to lead our HR & Payroll Compliance initiatives. This role requires expertise in payroll processing and multi-jurisdiction compliance, with a focus on integrating AI tools to enhance product development and compliance accuracy.
Responsibilities:
Bring deep domain expertise in payroll processing, wage and hour law, tax withholding, and multi-jurisdiction compliance (federal, state, and local).
Apply hands-on HR background across benefits administration, onboarding, time and attendance, and employee lifecycle management to ground product decisions in real practitioner workflows.
Use AI tools to accelerate requirements gathering by drafting specifications, user stories, and acceptance criteria from stakeholder input, then refine them with domain judgment for compliance-sensitive accuracy.
Leverage AI for research by monitoring evolving regulations (FLSA, IRS/SSA reporting, ACA, garnishments, unemployment, state-specific mandates), synthesizing statutory changes, and surfacing their product impact quickly.
Integrate AI across the SDLC, from discovery and backlog grooming to spec writing, test-case generation, and release documentation, to increase velocity while preserving quality.
Serve as the subject-matter authority for engineering, QA, and support teams on payroll calculation logic, pay cycles, deductions, and year-end processing (W-2, 1099, quarterly filings).
Partner with government and public-sector clients to understand their unique payroll and HR compliance needs, including union rules, step/grade pay structures, and public retirement systems.
Apply AI-assisted analysis to customer feedback, support escalations, and usage data to identify patterns and prioritize the backlog against regulatory deadlines and technical feasibility.
Champion responsible, human-in-the-loop use of AI by validating AI-generated output for compliance-critical features where accuracy is non-negotiable.
Define and track success metrics tied to payroll accuracy, filing timeliness, reduction in compliance errors, and gains in delivery speed from AI adoption.
Requirements:

Experience with AI tools in product management.
Ability to synthesize regulatory changes and assess product impact.
