Senior Principal Product Manager

Come join our Product team

Our Product team is committed to driving forward Karat’s mission to make interviews predictive, fair, and enjoyable. We are focused on providing deeper value to engineering and talent leaders, hiring managers, recruiters, candidates, and Interview Engineers.

What you will do

As Senior Principal Product Manager at Karat, you will own the strategy and outcomes for a major new product line that extends Karat's proven interview infrastructure into new markets and use cases. Reporting to the VP of Product, you will serve as a strategic lead and key decision partner, defining vision, aligning senior stakeholders, and driving execution across engineering, data science, design, and go-to-market to build and scale a category-defining offering.

• Define and own the end-to-end product strategy for a new strategic initiative that leverages Karat's core interview platform, proprietary dataset, and domain expertise to serve new buyer personas and unlock new revenue streams
• Lead the initiative from concept through launch and scale; identify market opportunities, validate demand, define the core value proposition, and ship an initial product that establishes a new category for Karat
• Partner closely with engineering, data science, and UX to deliver sophisticated, enterprise-grade experiences
• Drive alignment across multiple functions and senior leaders to secure resources, resolve trade-offs, and maintain velocity on a high-priority, high-ambiguity initiative
• Set prioritization direction across your domain and influence prioritization decisions across peer leaders and teams
• Serve as the product voice in executive customer conversations, translating complex capabilities into compelling business value for senior engineering and talent leaders at large enterprises
• Shape how Karat's extensive interview performance dataset is leveraged to deliver differentiated value; design products that provide customers with actionable intelligence, benchmarking, and analytics that inform workforce strategy and drive measurable outcomes
• Establish the operational foundations for a new product line, including success metrics, feedback loops, and iteration cadences that enable rapid learning and durable, scalable cross-functional solutions

The experience you will bring

• 10+ years of product management experience in B2B SaaS, with a demonstrated track record of taking products from 0 to 1 through launch, monetization, and scale; entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to build and iterate quickly without compromising quality
• Proven experience defining and leading product strategy for a major customer-facing product area or new line of business, including setting vision and roadmap with minimal oversight
• Deep comfort operating through substantial ambiguity; you thrive when the strategy is not yet defined and can translate uncertainty into clear direction for teams
• Demonstrated ability to influence and align senior leaders across engineering, data science, design, sales, and customer success as a strategic partner
• Experience building products that serve enterprise buyers, ideally engineering leaders, with a strong understanding of how large organizations evaluate, adopt, and expand new solutions
• Strong analytical foundation with experience leveraging data to inform product decisions; experience building customer-facing analytics, benchmarking, or data products is a strong plus
• Ability to set longer-range prioritization aligned to company goals, reduce complexity, and consistently focus the most important work across competing demands
• Strong curiosity about AI and its implications for how talent is evaluated and hired
