Lead Product Manager

✨ One platform, a whole world of opportunity

The best jobs have always clustered in a handful of the world's wealthiest cities. But talent is everywhere. Oyster set out to close that gap - building a global employment platform that lets companies hire, pay, and care for brilliant people anywhere.

We're proof that a high-performing culture doesn't need an office. Distributed across 60+ countries since 2020, we've built something the industry keeps noticing:

Ranked #10 of 250 on TIME and Statista's 2026 list of America's Top WorkTech Companies

Named one of America's Greatest Startup Workplaces 2026 by Newsweek

A G2 Spring 2026 Leader across Employer of Record, Global Employment, Multi-country Payroll, and HR Compliance

The only B Corp-certified global employment platform ~ independently verified since 2023

Two of those rankings measured our business impact from the outside. One measured how our own people feel about working here. They landed in the same place ~ because at Oyster, culture and performance aren't separate conversations. They're the same one.

And we're just getting started. If you want to do the best work of your career alongside people who care as much as you do, we'd love for you to apply.

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 two Lead Product Managers with the same scope, level, and expectations, supporting two different product domains: Hire & Onboard and Benefits .

By applying to this role, you'll be considered for either opportunity. Throughout the interview process, we'll introduce you to both domains, discuss where your experience and interests align best, and determine together which role is the strongest mutual fit.

As a Lead Product Manager , you will own the product vision, strategy, and execution for a critical area of Oyster's platform. Whether focused on Hire & Onboard or Benefits , 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.

Represent the Hire & Onboard or Benefits domain in senior stakeholder forums, clearly communicating trade-offs, progress, risks, and impact.
