Job Description
About Remote People
At Remote People , we're building the infrastructure to power borderless teams . By handling global payroll, benefits, taxes, and compliance, our technology enables businesses to hire anyone anywhere compliantly at the push of a button.
If you're interested in adding to our vision of enabling people to work in dream jobs, for every company, and from anywhere in the world , apply now!
We're committed to building a global, diverse team representing different and varied backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences. We welcome applications from everyone, regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, civil or family status, age, or disability. Being part of Remote People means being part of a growing, international family.
Responsibilities
Own the product strategy and roadmap for your area, from problem definition through delivery and iteration
Lead discovery with Payroll, Operations, and partner teams, ensuring we solve manual bottlenecks, avoid calculation errors and create trust with our customers
Partner with engineering and design as a true triad, facilitating problem discovery and solution design as a team
Improve how payroll calculation issues, reporting gaps, and partner connectivity problems are surfaced and resolved, reducing escalations and rework for Ops and Payroll teams
Own the payroll calculation and reporting layer; ensure outputs are accurate, clear and understandable
Build and maintain our country-specific payroll and compliance knowledge base, keeping it accurate as rules change
Maintain robust partner connectivity across payroll partners, ensuring data flows correctly and integrations don’t break downstream reporting
Requirements
4+ years in product, with experience owning complex B2B SaaS or HR-tech/fintech products: payroll, compliance, integrations, or financial operations
Strong product fundamentals. You manage your product, not your backlog.
Excellent stakeholder management skills. You cross bridges without burning them.
You practice concise communication. No corporate slop. A 5 year old can explain your PRDs to your engineering team.
You’ve worked on platform-level products with real system complexity: data models, integrations, cross-service dependencies and you know how to reason about trade-offs across product, operations, and engineering
Strong operational instinct: you understand how payroll accuracy, reporting reliability, and partner connectivity connect to customer trust
You define success metrics before scoping and revisit them when things aren’t moving
Comfortable operating in ambiguous, cross-functional environments — you drive clarity rather than waiting for it
You’ve worked in a high-trust, autonomous team structure; you need context, access to customers, and clear business goals, not a feature list
You know how to leverage AI as a force multiplier without outsourcing your judgement
Hands-on experience with payroll partner integrations or global compliance data is advantageous
What it's like working at Remote People
Our service & product . We're a technology company, not an accountancy, payroll provider, recruitment firm or similar. We build a workforce management platform that allows our customers to hire the best talent in minutes, without worrying about compliance, payroll, or HR admin.
Our amazing team and environment . Working at Remote People means you're working on something very exciting: Allowing every person on the planet to have access to equal opportunities in living a fulfilled work and personal life. We believe in hiring from within and going the extra mile to retain top talent. As the company continues to grow extremely fast, you will be given the opportunity to develop and grow alongside.
