One Opportunity, Two Product Domains

Location: While this position is posted in a specific location, all of Oyster's positions are fully remote, you can work from home, forever. To create the best experience for our new hire, this role requires you to be based within UTC +3 to UTC -5.

We're hiring Lead Product Managers for our Employer of Record (EOR) product and its sub-domains.

As a Lead Product Manager, you will own the product vision, strategy, and execution for a critical area of Oyster's platform. You'll lead customer-facing experiences, internal tools, and operational workflows that help companies employ talent globally with confidence, compliance, and simplicity.

You are an AI-first product thinker, comfortable applying automation and AI to solve meaningful customer and operational challenges. You bring strong product judgment, a structured approach to problem-solving, and the ability to balance user needs, regulatory complexity, and business outcomes.

In this role, you'll operate at the intersection of product strategy, execution, and cross-functional leadership. You'll drive complex initiatives in partnership with Engineering, Design, Legal, Compliance, Finance, Operations, and Go-to-Market teams. Strong ownership, clear communication, and the ability to build alignment across diverse stakeholders are essential to success.
