- Experience working cross-functionally with Engineering, Design, Sales, and Marketing teams
- Proven ability to translate regulatory and compliance requirements into clear, actionable product capabilities
- Demonstrated experience adopting AI tools to enhance product development, including rapid prototyping, research, and customer validation
- Familiarity with modern AI-assisted workflows (e.g., using tools like Claude Code or Replit) to quickly test ideas, build prototypes, and iterate on solutions
- Strong interest in or experience with agentic systems and AI-driven product experiences, particularly in automating complex workflows or decision-making processes
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence and align stakeholders at multiple levels
- Comfortable operating in ambiguity and balancing near-term customer needs with long-term platform strategy
What the job involves
- We're on the hunt for a Sr. Product Manager to lead the charge on our core product experience, from owning the design systems to coordinating with other teams to ensure a seamless rollout of cross-cutting user experience upgrades
- In this pivotal role, you'll work closely with our dedicated design and engineering teams to build foundational capabilities across our product portfolio. In addition, you'll be the driving force behind communicating value and facilitating product and client adoption. Finally, your expertise will ensure on-time delivery and mitigate risk and dependencies
- As the go-to person for product questions, you'll work closely with our Sales, Marketing, Customer Service, Design, and Engineering teams, providing invaluable support for all aspects of product development. This role is a unique opportunity to work on a high-impact team and make a real difference in the success of AuditBoard

- Partner with product leadership to define and execute the compliance product strategy and roadmap

- Act as a connective layer between customers and internal teams, ensuring solutions are usable, compliant, and deliver meaningful business impact
- Champion continuous improvement through feedback loops, metrics, and iterative product delivery
- Drive adoption of AI across the product development lifecycle, leveraging tools such as Claude Code, Replit, and Loveable to rapidly prototype ideas, validate concepts, and accelerate time-to-value
- Explore and define agentic capabilities within the compliance domain, including opportunities to automate workflows, assist with regulatory interpretation, and enhance user productivity through AI-driven experiences
Our take
Optro (formerly AuditBoard) provides risk and compliance software for large businesses. The company's founders spent years working at the Big Four and other global enterprises, and realized that many audit activities were still taking place in Excel sheets, or using legacy software like IBM's OpenPages, which hadn't kept up to date with the latest reporting requirements.
The result was an end-to-end platform for managing risk, helping enterprises to streamline internal audit, SOX compliance, controls management, risk management, and security compliance. It's a top-rated cloud-based platform and has won numerous awards, with the company being consistently named the market leader in Audit Management.
Now Optro is focused on expanding its AI-powered GRC platform. Following its rebrand from AuditBoard, the company acquired AI-native SOX automation platform Midship to help audit teams automate repetitive work and focus more on strategic risk analysis. And impressively, more than 50% of the Fortune 500 now use Optro's platform as it continues building AI-driven tools for risk, compliance, and cybersecurity teams.
