Runs payroll and HR for small businesses
At Justworks, you’ll enjoy a welcoming and casual environment, great benefits, wellness program offerings, company retreats, and the ability to interact with and learn from leaders in the startup community. We work hard and care about our most prized asset - our people.
We’re helping businesses get off the ground by enabling them to focus on running their business. We solve HR issues. We’re data-driven and never stop iterating. If you’d like to work in a supportive, entrepreneurial environment, are interested in building something meaningful and having fun while doing it, we’d love to hear from you.
We're united by shared goals and shared motivations at Justworks. These are best summed up in our company values, which are reflected in our product and in our team.
If this sounds like you, you’ll fit right in.
The Justworks Product team advances our mission by building products that extend levels of personal care and deep expertise that our customers have never experienced before. They craft innovative solutions that guide users through the most complicated challenges of running (and working for) a small business, with ease. They deeply understand complex regulatory spaces like FinTech, Healthcare, and HRTech, and have a keen intuition for how to connect threads across our customers’ needs and our business’ risk management and commercialization strategy. Our Product Managers lead highly collaborative creative endeavors, bringing together stakeholders across engineering, design, data services, operations, and customer-facing teams to deliver tangible value.
By joining us, you’ll be part of an experienced team of Product Managers who have a proven track record of building large-scale software products that impact small businesses worldwide.
We’re looking for teammates who will help shape Justworks’ future and make a profound impact on our business. As a Product Manager, you’ll be working across complex spaces (Fintech, Healthcare, HR Tech - all with serious policy/regulatory environments). That will require you to have a keen intuition for customer needs, risk management, and commercialization. Care is at the center of everything we do, and you’ll need to love talking with customers and engaging with our Customer Success, Sales and Marketing teams to make sure that care is coming through in every part of our customers’ experience. You’ll be joining a diverse community of craftspeople who are passionate about learning, uphold exceptionally high standards of quality, and foster an environment of strategic thinking where product people can reach new heights.
The Time and Product Foundations domain owns the infrastructure and experiences that make Justworks' core product work as one system, regardless of how or where an admin completes their job. Within this domain, the Product Foundations mission builds the horizontal layers that other domains depend on: unified communications, analytics and reporting intelligence, core product surfaces, and our member facing mobile experience. We succeed when every other team at Justworks ships faster, their customers complete jobs from wherever they already are (web, mobile, Slack, or embedded workflows), and our platform compounds rather than fragments as the product grows.
As a Group Product Manager at Justworks, you'll lead and advocate for squads that own the systems connecting our product to its customers: the communications platform (transactional messaging, in-app tasks, email), the core product stack (home, nav, search, documents, settings), and our admin facing reporting and analytics suite. You'll leverage your relationships and expertise to empower your cross-functional teams to succeed, overseeing high-impact initiatives that advance Justworks' platform health and business objectives.
While hands-on product management will be part of your day-to-day responsibilities, you'll spend a significant amount of time teaching and coaching your direct reports and cross-functional teams. You'll guide them in devising strategies, honing their craft, and executing with both excellence and speed. Because Product Foundations is a horizontal team by nature, you'll regularly contribute beyond your team's scope by partnering with adjacent domains to define contracts and boundaries, facilitating adoption of shared infrastructure, and developing systems and processes that benefit our larger technology organization.
As a Group Product Manager, how results are achieved is paramount for your success and ultimately result in our success as an organization. In this role, your foundational knowledge, skills, abilities and personal attributes are anchored in the following competencies:

Teamwork and communication - putting our collective best together through documentation, collaboration, relationship-building, listening, empathy, recruiting, and evangelism.

Justworks runs payroll and HR software for small businesses, combining routine workforce administration with access to group health insurance. Its PEO service co-employs customer workers, taking on specified payroll, tax and benefits responsibilities while customers manage their teams. Businesses also buy payroll software separately, with tools for employee onboarding, timecards, paid time off, contractor and vendor payments, and storing employment documents. The platform connects to accounting software, and customers pay monthly subscriptions priced by employee count and selected plan. Justworks was founded in 2012 and is headquartered in New York City.
