Please Note: This is a Utah-based hybrid position which will require some regular in-office days each week. Additionally, employment with BambooHR is contingent on passing both a background and credit check. AI at BambooHR At BambooHR, we’re all about setting people free to do great work, and we believe AI is a powerful partner in that mission. We’re leaning into intelligent tools to streamline our workflows, giving us more time for high-impact innovation. We look for curious, forward-thinking people who are ready to explore how AI can elevate their work and help us reimagine the future of HR. Essential Job Duties We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to drive the strategy and execution of BambooHR's core data platform: the foundational layer that defines how every system, integration, and AI experience understands our data. You'll play a key role in shaping how BambooHR represents its data internally and how that foundation powers the AI-driven experiences our customers depend on. This is not a traditional product role. You won't own a customer-facing UI. You own the layer underneath: the data definitions, contracts, and adoption process that make every product team faster, every integration simpler, and every AI interaction more accurate. Your customers are primarily internal, and when the platform is right, every team benefits. As the Senior Product Manager for this space, you'll coordinate across product and engineering teams to define and evolve the canonical data model, partner with architects to make hard technical tradeoffs, and connect foundational platform work to real customer outcomes. You will: * Drive alignment on data definitions across product and engineering teams, resolving conflicts and locking decisions that the rest of the organization can build on. * Coordinate a multi-team, multi-quarter effort without direct authority over the teams doing the work. * Partner closely with principal architects and engineering leads to make principled data modeling tradeoffs and communicate the implications broadly. * Ensure the data platform is easy to build against: clean APIs, well-documented contracts, and a clear upgrade path as the model evolves. * Build the internal case for platform investment by connecting foundational decisions to real outcomes for integrations, AI features, and customer-facing products. * Own the data catalog and validation process, ensuring coherence as new domains are onboarded and new entities are proposed. * Measure adoption and coverage. Know at any point how complete the model is, where gaps exist, and what is blocking progress. * Work closely with AI platform teams to ensure the data model serves as a reliable foundation for AI-driven experiences. If you are an experienced Senior Product Manager with a passion for data infrastructure and a track record of driving complex, cross-team alignment, we encourage you to apply. Join us in building the data foundation that powers BambooHR's next generation of AI products. What You Need to Get the Job Done * You feel aligned with the BambooHR values * 5+ years experience as a Product Manager, with a proven track record of shipping impactful products * Technical depth in data modeling, API design, or data infrastructure. You do not need to write the schema, but you need to read it, challenge it, and make principled decisions about what belongs in the model and what does not. * Proven ability to drive alignment across teams and stakeholders you do not directly control. * Comfort with ambiguity at the architectural level. You are energized by hard, unsolved problems, not slowed down by them. * Clear, direct communication with both technical and non-technical audiences. * You are entrepreneurial. You do not need direction. You identify the next constraint and move toward it. * Deep experience working with qualitative stakeholder feedback and quantitative data to inform platform decisions. * Nice to have: background in master data management, canonical data modeling, or developer platform product management in a SaaS environment. AI or ML infrastructure context is a plus. What You'll Love About Us * A Great Company Culture that has been recognized by multiple organizations like Inc, and Salt Lake Tribune * Comprehensive health, life, and disability insurance * Generous leave policies that include 4 weeks of vacation, 12 company holidays, parental leave, and volunteer time off so you can enjoy quality of life * 401k plans with up to 6% company match * $2000 Paid-Paid Vacation bonus * EAP through Headspace * Check out all our benefits that benefit you About Us At BambooHR, we're building something different: we're building a people intelligence platform that transforms HR and sets people free to do great work! We're a proven market leader driving innovation while building lasting success through thoughtful, sustainable growth. Here, you'll find a place that champions growth: both professional and personal, both individual and collective. We invest in potential, giving you the space to stretch your capabilities and turn good ideas into reality while providing the safety net of a supportive, values-driven culture. Our approach combines meaningful work with meaningful lives, offering competitive benefits, professional development, and the flexibility to thrive both in and outside the office.
