About the role The Product Foundations & Time domain stewards the core experiences, infrastructure, and workforce tools that underpin how administrators and their employees navigate, track, and manage their work on Justworks. It owns the systems that enable accurate time tracking, PTO and time-off management, mobile access, reporting, navigation, and shared product surfaces, forming the reliable, high-performance foundation that supports every Justworks product and empowers businesses to stay compliant, productive, and connected.
Within Product Foundations & Time, the Time mission team owns how Justworks customers manage workforce time: time off and time worked. Time Off covers leave policies, PTO balances, and the workflows admins and employees use to request and approve time away. Time Worked covers how hours are captured, reviewed, and passed to payroll across Justworks' customer base. As a Product Manager on Time, you'll spend the majority of your time executing against well-defined problem sets. You'll be in high learning mode, obsessing over the needs of our customers, soaking up how the Justworks Product team conducts its work and be expected to execute on all the basic skills of product management with active coaching from your manager. As you gain a richer understanding of our customers and business model, you'll be involved in increasingly complicated bodies of work.
