Our Values
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. We craft innovative solutions that guide users through the most complicated challenges of running (and working for) a small business, with ease. We 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.
About the roleThe Benefits team empowers small businesses to easily offer the health insurance, wealth benefits, and perks that help them attract and retain talent while promoting their teams’ well-being. We build intuitive, guided experiences that simplify complex decisions and streamline administration across a robust suite of competitive benefit offerings.
As a Product Manager of Benefits, you’ll play a high-impact role by driving the roadmap of a team core to the delivery of our mission. You’ll focus on scoping and prioritizing new initiatives with research-backed case development and work through the complete product development lifecycle to successful delivery.
