Company mission
To help companies distribute meaningful benefits that support the personal and professional well-being of their team.
Role
Who you are
- 6+ years of PM experience, ideally in a startup or fast-moving environment
- If you have fewer years but can show exceptional ownership, execution, and product thinking, we’d love to hear from you
- Strong communicator who can write clear specs and updates
- Comfortable with ambiguity and translating messy inputs into actionable plans
- Organized, detail-oriented, and able to keep multiple threads moving
- Exposure to commercial/product tradeoffs (support, compliance, GTM)
- Proficient with modern tools (Figma, Linear, Notion, and AI tools)
- Excited to roll up your sleeves — no task too big or too small
What the job involves
- We’re looking for someone to join us as one of our first product hires and help shape how we build, launch, and scale new features
- You’ll be responsible for scoping and driving features through the product lifecycle: from research and requirements to execution and launch
- You’ll use AI tools to accelerate your work — generating first drafts of competitive analysis, customer insights, and design artifacts — and then partner with design and engineering to refine and ship high-quality projects
- You’ll shape and deliver features end-to-end, with roadmap strategy owned by the Head of Product. Your insights and advocacy will play a big role in defining what we build
- Translate customer, market, and internal inputs into clear specs and requirements
- Partner with design to define user flows, edge cases, and success metrics
- Drive execution: track progress, flag risks, and coordinate across eng and cross-functional teams
- Own QA checklists and launch readiness collateral for new features
- Leverage AI tools to speed up research, analysis, and mock generation
- Advocate for feature ideas that improve customer experience and business outcomes
Our take
The US labor market is creating higher demand for top tier talent, and many companies are looking to improve their benefits as a way of staying competitive. Strong health insurance and holiday policies, however, no longer cut it. Benepass is a benefits administration company looking to help companies stay ahead in this new landscape.
The basic Benepass premise is that pre- and post- tax benefits should be flexible and accessible for employees. As things stand, tax-advantage benefits are hugely under-leveraged by employees: they’re either unsuitable for individual employees, or are procedurally complicated or difficult to use. Benepass’ app centralises and simplifies the process, allowing employees to explore, track, and exercise benefits from a single platform and VISA card.
Building Benepass’ product around a card is a nice twist. Platforms like Zestful and Compt, who are similarly directed towards simplifying communication and education around employee benefits, don’t yet offer the same tangible feature. They’re also not as focused on the more complex area of tax-advantage benefits - which make substantial savings for employers as well as employees. Benepass’ solution is an easy win/win, and in today’s labor market conditions an increasingly necessary one.
