[Hiring] Senior Product Manager @Neighborly Software

Role Description

The Senior Product Manager plays a critical role in shaping the product vision and strategy for the cloud-based technology platform at Neighborly Software. As a Senior Product Manager (SPM), you will own the end-to-end product lifecycle for your areas of the platform — from discovery and definition through launch, adoption, and iteration — with particular focus on the financial operations and platform scalability capabilities our customers depend on.

• Own the end-to-end product lifecycle for assigned areas of the platform — discovery, definition, prioritization, delivery, launch, and post-launch iteration.
• Define the long-term product vision and lead roadmap planning for your areas, ensuring both address customer needs, the competitive landscape, and technological advancements.
• Partner with the Product Lead and senior leadership to align product initiatives with company strategy, and clearly communicate priorities, trade-offs, risks, and progress to executive stakeholders.
• Drive the roadmap for platform workflows — budgeting, disbursements, invoicing, reconciliation, and financial reporting — ensuring accuracy, auditability, and compliance with funder and regulatory requirements.
• Partner with engineering on platform scalability, performance, and integration decisions, so the platform grows with increases in customer volume, data, and program complexity.
• Use AI tools in the day-to-day practice of product management — research synthesis, requirements and documentation drafting, data analysis, competitive scanning, and rapid prototyping.
• Run continuous discovery — regular customer interviews, site visits, and win/loss conversations — and translate what you hear into validated problems, prioritized bets, and measurable customer value.
• Partner with Customer Success to track adoption, engagement drop-off, and at-risk accounts. Translate those signals into platform improvements that reduce churn before it happens.
• Own uptime, latency, and scalability metrics as product outcomes — not just engineering concerns. Define SLAs and work with engineering to hit them.
• Own and optimize cross-module workflows, ensuring customers can execute end-to-end processes seamlessly across the platform without friction, data inconsistencies, or broken handoffs between modules.
• Collaborate with marketing and sales teams to develop go-to-market strategies, positioning, and pricing.
• Drive the successful execution of product development from concept to launch, orchestrating multiple features in flight at once and sequencing dependencies across engineering, design, and go-to-market teams.
• Analyze product performance metrics and conduct market research to identify new market opportunities and threats.
• Performs other duties as required.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of product management or relevant experience with SaaS products.
• Demonstrated experience running the end-to-end product lifecycle, from discovery and definition through launch and post-launch iteration.
• Strong interest in customer value and interview-based discovery, with hands-on experience talking directly to users and turning qualitative insight into product direction.
• Experience supporting platform scaling — growth in users, data volume, integrations, or functional complexity — and the product decisions that come with it.
• Demonstrated ability to work effectively with senior leaders and executive stakeholders, influencing without authority and communicating clearly across technical and non-technical audiences.
• Working fluency with AI tools and a demonstrated ability to apply them to product work, along with a point of view on where AI creates real value for customers.
• Proven track record of successful product launches, having led innovative products from concept through go-to-market and measured adoption.
• Experience with product analytics — instrumenting products, defining success metrics, and using quantitative data to evaluate performance and guide decisions.
• Demonstrated ability to orchestrate multiple features and initiatives running in parallel, managing dependencies, competing priorities, and shifting timelines across several teams at once.
• Proficiency in product management methodologies, agile practices, and product management tools (e.g., JIRA, Confluence).

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in business, Engineering, Computer Science or related functions.
• Familiarity with APIs and system integrations, and comfort partnering with engineering on integration-related product decisions.
• Experience in govtech, public sector, affordable housing, community development, or grant management software.
• Experience with financial, payment, or transaction-based product domains (for example budgeting, disbursements, invoicing, reconciliation, or accounting workflows).
• Tech startup experience.
• Agile Certification.

Physical Requirements

• Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer.
• Must be able to lift up to 15 pounds at times.
