Care.com is a consumer tech company with heart. We're on a mission to solve a human challenge we all face: finding great care for the ones we love. We bring together innovators, self-starters, and big thinkers to solve universal challenges and connect people in meaningful ways. Leveraging data analytics, AI, and cutting-edge technologies, we empower families and caregivers through impactful solutions.

What We're Looking For

Care.com is seeking a highly motivated Senior Product Manager to own the supply side of our two-sided marketplace on our Core Product team. You'll own the end-to-end journey for care providers on our platform, building the products and systems that help them find families, grow their businesses, and deliver great care. The ideal candidate is data-driven, acts with curiosity and urgency, and can empathize deeply with our providers while balancing the needs of the broader marketplace. You're equally comfortable shaping a long-term product vision and rolling up your sleeves on implementation details.

This is a hybrid position. We are in office Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday with offices in Austin, TX and Dallas, TX.

What You'll Be Working On

  • Product vision & roadmap: Contribute to and drive the product vision and roadmap for Provider Experience, identifying the problems to solve for caregivers and care businesses, and how solving them moves the marketplace forward.
  • Product development: Work closely with engineering, design, and other cross-functional partners to develop, launch, and iterate on provider-facing products. Translate strategy into clear requirements and decisions that keep work moving in the right direction.
  • Data, analysis & metrics: Define and track KPIs that reflect the health of the provider experience. Use data, experimentation, and competitive research to identify what's working, surface opportunities, and make a case for prioritization.
  • Communication: Maintain the right level of documentation, user stories, briefs, requirements
  • Customer focus: Build for providers first. Partner with marketing and strategy teams to test and optimize how we message, onboard, and engage caregivers and care businesses across the platform.

Who You Are

  • You are deeply curious about what makes your users tick-what motivates them to engage, convert, and stick around, and you use that empathy to build products that genuinely solve their problems.
  • You drive complex, cross-functional initiatives from discovery through launch with clear project plans and seamless execution.
  • You excel at driving clarity in ambiguity, rallying cross-functional partners, and making decisions that balance provider experience, marketplace health, and business growth.
  • Your product instincts are matched by technical depth, you collaborate closely with engineering to design scalable systems and navigate tradeoffs.
  • Above all, you lead with ownership and empathy. You inspire trust, drive accountability, and elevate the people and products around you.

What You'll Need to Succeed

  • Experience: 6+ years in product management with demonstrated success leading complex, cross-functional initiatives from concept to scale.
  • Strategic leadership: Proven ability to define and execute multi-quarter product strategies aligned with company objectives and measured by meaningful outcomes.
  • Marketplace fluency: Experience with two-sided marketplaces, B2B2C products, or supply-side platform work is a strong plus.
  • Technical fluency: Deep comfort partnering with engineering and engaging in technical discussions to inform architecture and prioritization.
  • Data-driven mindset: Strong experience defining KPIs, running experiments, and using internal and external data to make decisions and validate hypotheses.
  • Cross-functional influence: Adept at navigating organizational dynamics and driving alignment across engineering, marketing, operations, and leadership.
  • Communication: Strong written and verbal communicator-able to translate complex product thinking into crisp requirements, clear narratives, and compelling vision.

About the Company

C

Care.com, Inc.

Care is a global need without geographic or demographic boundaries. At some point, every person and every family will have care needs, be it for children, seniors, pets or even homes. Our mission is to improve the lives of families and caregivers by helping them connect in a reliable and easy way. Our solutions help families make informed decisions in one of the most important and highly considered aspects of their family life: finding and managing quality care for their loved ones. In providing families a comprehensive marketplace for care, we are also building the largest global destination for quality caregivers to find fulfilling employment and career opportunities. We strive to help our members - families and caregivers - pursue their passions and fulfill the basic human need of caring for each other.

Founder and CEO Sheila Lirio Marcelo wanted to transform the way families and businesses around the world address their care needs. Care.com launched in the U.S. in 2007 and today, we are the world's largest online marketplace for finding and managing family care, with more than 30.8 million members, spanning over 20 countries.

Care.com's premise is simple: Our consumer matching solutions allow families to search for, qualify, vet, connect with, and ultimately select caregivers in a low-cost, reliable and easy way. Our platform also provides caregivers with solutions to create personal profiles, describe their unique skills and experience, and otherwise differentiate themselves in a highly fragmented marketplace.

We understand that care is an exceptionally personal matter and impacts the most important aspect of families' lives which is why we provide an array of services and resources to help families make safer and more informed hiring decisions. The Care.com Safety Center offers a comprehensive Safety Guide, which details numerous tools, resources and tips to assist families through the search and hiring process. Through third-parties, we also offer three tiers of background checks which vary in comprehensiveness.

Care.com's global footprint began to expand in 2012 when we launched in the UK and Canada, followed by the acquisition of Berlin-based Besser Betreut, the largest online care portal in Europe. In every territory in which we operate, the fundamental service remains the same but is tailored to meet the unique cultural needs of its membership.

As Care.com has grown, so has the scope of the products and services we offer. Our consumer payments solutions enable families to not only electronically pay a caregiver but also subscribe for tax preparation services through our Care.com HomePay product. We have also expanded our marketplace beyond the direct family-to-caregiver interaction. We currently serve employers by providing access to our platform to more than 600,000 employer-sponsored families, and we enable care-related businesses, such as daycare centers, nanny agencies and home care agencies, to market their services to our care-seeking families and recruit our caregiver members.
