What are the responsibilities and job description for the Founding Product Manager (Staff Level) position at Greenboard?
Company Description
Greenboard is building “Rippling” for financial compliance and operations. Our goal: enable regulated financial firms to run their back office at a higher standard with half the headcount. We’re starting with financial compliance.
We’re an in-person team based in Flatiron, NYC. Our founding team includes engineers who scaled products at Amazon, Google, and several unicorn startups. We’re backed by Y Combinator, General Catalyst, Base10 and other fantastic investors, and have now raised $20M (Series A). We’ve found product-market fit and are focused on scaling the business, accelerating platform adoption, and preparing for Series B and beyond. Brand-name financial institutions already rely on Greenboard, and we’re growing quickly.
Why we need you
We’ve moved from PMF → repeatable growth and now need a founding Staff Product Manager to own the product strategy that allows Greenboard to operate and innovate at scale. You will define platform-level priorities, build product processes and metrics, drive cross-functional execution, and hire and mentor product talent as we expand into broader enterprise accounts and new product lines.
We'll click if you...
- Bring 6–10 years of product management experience at B2B SaaS companies (fintech, compliance, or mission-critical enterprise software a plus), with demonstrable success scaling products from early customers to scale.
- Have owned platform/scale problems — you can point to concrete outcomes (ARR growth, NRR, gross retention, reduced time-to-value, latency/throughput improvements, or operational cost reductions).
- Translate high-level go-to-market and commercial goals into product roadmaps that move metrics (expansion motion, packaging, pricing experiments, self-serve vs enterprise splits).
- Design for scale: you prioritize multi-tenant architecture tradeoffs, data schemas, API surface, permissions/roles, provisioning, and observability for thousands of users and millions of events.
- Develop product processes and OKRs — you hire and coach PMs, introduce scalable discovery rhythms, and run rigorous experimentation and A/B testing programs.
- Partner fluently with engineering leads on technical tradeoffs and sales/CS to understand the business.
- Lead customer discovery with enterprise compliance teams and legal stakeholders — you convert regulatory nuance (SEC/FINRA requirements) into usable product constraints and compliant UX.
- Ship product with a bias for measurable outcomes — clear PRDs, telemetry, launch playbooks, and postmortems that improve cycle time and quality.
- Protect sensitive customer and commercial information with absolute discretion.
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience. Technical degrees are a strong plus.
Benefits
- Competitive salary ($200k - $300k) meaningful equity (you’re early—you’ll feel it).
- 401(k) with 5 % company match.
- Medical, dental & vision
- 15 days PTO 10 company holidays flexible sick time.
- Off-sites & team retreats. Front-row seat to building the operating backbone of modern finance.
Salary : $200,000 - $300,000
