Senior Product Manager

Who you are

• Bachelor's in Computer Science or related field preferred
• 5+ years of product management experience, with a track record of owning strategy and roadmap for a product area with minimal oversight
• Deep fluency with data and analytics; comfortable defining and interpreting metrics like attach rate, conversion rate, and RPR
• Comfortable partnering closely with engineering on technical trade-offs, API/platform decisions, or system constraints
• Strong customer discovery instincts — you talk to customers directly and pair that insight with GTM and research input to build product hypotheses
• Proven ability to write crisp PRDs and specs without manager guidance
• Experience navigating ambiguity and driving cross-functional alignment across GTM, Ops, and Finance stakeholders
• An A-player mindset with a strong bias for action: you raise the bar, move with urgency, stay resilient through ambiguity, and take ownership to deliver meaningful outcomes

What the job involves

• As Senior Product Manager for Checkr's Verifications products, you will own the strategy and roadmap for a core part of the background check experience. You will improve accuracy and speed for employers while reducing friction for candidates, strengthening trust in the hiring process at every step
• You will work closely with Engineering, Operations, and GTM teams to ship market-leading verification products, using data and direct customer input to guide every decision
• Strategy & roadmap: Own strategy & roadmap for Drug & Occupational Health testing services, grounding decisions in customer discovery, GTM input, and data analysis
• Voice of the customer: represent customer needs directly in product and technical design discussions, not just via research reports
• Competitive/market awareness: track competitor moves and market shifts that affect roadmap priorities
• Drive outcomes: Define and drive OKRs, connecting input metrics (attach rate, conversion rate, RPR) to output impact (revenue and profit)
• Implementation: Write clear specs and PRDs independently, and lead ops reviews that keep the team focused on the right metrics. Make implementation trade-off decisions, balancing speed, quality, and customer impact
• Pricing & packaging ownership: partner with Finance/GTM to define pricing and packaging for your product area
• Launch leadership: own go-to-market coordination for releases — enablement, positioning input, and rollout sequencing
• Communicate roadmap, goals, and progress clearly to stakeholders and leadership
• Model Checkr's values and build strong relationships within and beyond your immediate team
