Role
Who you are
- If you've been looking for a role where you can combine startup-level ownership with the reach and resources of an established platform, this is it
- A builder – You have a proven track record of taking products from concept to scale. You thrive in ambiguity, move fast, and know how to find signal in noise when there's no playbook
- An AI-native practitioner – You use AI to fundamentally accelerate how you do product management from discovery to delivery. You stay on the frontier and bring others along with you
- A B2C product thinker – You deeply understand high-volume, self-serve, low-touch consumer platforms. You think in terms of funnels, engagement loops, activation flows, and retention mechanics
- A force multiplier – You raise the bar beyond your own product. You coach other PMs on AI-native practices, shape how the broader product org works, and serve as a thought partner to R&D and Product leadership on how to level up
- A decisive, data-driven leader – You use data and rapid experimentation to make high-quality decisions at velocity. You have strong product sense and the conviction to push back on senior leaders when the evidence points a different direction
- Relentlessly curious about users – You are motivated by deeply understanding user behavior and building products that genuinely improve people's lives. You will pioneer Greenhouse's first-ever direct relationship with jobseekers
- 8+ years of product management experience, with 5+ years in B2C or consumer environments
- Demonstrated success building, either at a startup or launching a net-new product line within an established company
- Deep experience with high-volume, self-serve consumer platforms — you understand the dynamics of low-touch onboarding, product-led growth, engagement loops, conversion optimization, and marketplace mechanics
- Hands-on experience building and shipping AI/ML-powered products that generated measurable user value
- Mastery of experimentation and growth practices — A/B testing, funnel optimization, behavioral analytics, and data-informed prioritization are second nature to you
- Strong product sense and strategic thinking — you know what to build next and can articulate a compelling "why" to executives, engineers, and cross-functional partners alike
- Exceptional communication skills — you win hearts and minds across diverse stakeholders and can educate and influence senior leaders with clarity and conviction
- Proven ability to operate in high-ambiguity environments — you make good decisions fast, stay resilient through setbacks, and keep teams oriented toward outcomes
- Experience with AI-native product development workflows and tools (e.g., AI-assisted prototyping, vibe coding, AI-driven user research synthesis)

- Pioneer a new discovery motion with jobseekers — build the research, feedback, and insight infrastructure to create a continuous learning loop between users and the product
- Shape the broader MyGreenhouse vision — serve as a key thought partner to MyGH leadership, the Product Management Leadership Team, and the CEO on where MyGreenhouse is headed, bringing deep product sense and user insight to the strategic conversation
- Partner with Engineering, Design, and Product Marketing — work closely with your triad and GTM partners to align on technical feasibility, design excellence, and go-to-market strategy
- Elevate the product org's AI capabilities — model and teach AI-native PDLC best practices across the PM team; serve as a key thought partner to the R&D leadership team on Greenhouse's overall AI product strategy
- Additional projects and responsibilities as business needs evolve

Our take
Quality candidates are in demand and have options. It's not easy for companies to make the perfect hire. They face recruitment challenges. Firstly, they have to find the right people to interview. And secondly, they have to demonstrate that they have the right job for them.
Greenhouse is a hiring software company that helps companies optimize their recruitment and become great at it. With over 7,500 customers, the company supports some of the world's most successful companies such as Buzzfeed, Booking.com, HubSpot, and J.D. Power.
In January 2021, TPG Growth acquired a majority stake in Greenhouse with an investment of approximately $500M to support their commitment to improve diversity and reduce inequality in the hiring process.
Since the acquisition, Greenhouse has experienced significant growth, increasing revenues from $86.4M in 2021 to $266.3M in 2024. Its fair to say, the company is seeing great success and it doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime soon.
