Role
Who you are
- 2-4 years of experience in product management at a B2B SaaS company, or 2-3 years in a commercial generalist role before transitioning into tech or product
- You've shipped software products and can point to specific outcomes you drove
- You're comfortable with technical concepts - you can discuss APIs, data pipelines, and system architecture with engineers
- You're a structured thinker who can take ambiguous problems and break them into clear, actionable product decisions
- You have strong customer instincts, and you'd generally rather spend an hour with a customer than an hour in a planning meeting
- Scrappy and creative: when faced with an obstacle, you will either overcome it by pure determination (i.e., by hand), or find an unconventional approach or ‘hack’ to navigate it
- Persistent: you may not always find the right answer or person immediately, but you're motivated to keep on trying until you do so. You’ll go the extra mile - including Flying to Gainesville - if that’s what it takes
- Pilot not passenger: at a fast-growing company like Heron we need people who jump on opportunities unprompted and drive them to a great outcome, rather than folks who wait to be told what to do
- Excited to work in a fast-paced, high-growth, team-based environment: we aim to move quickly and decisively, but together. You’ll be a great team player and do what it takes for the team to succeed
What the job involves
- We're hiring a Product Manager to help us build the future of automated document workflows at Heron. You'll own a product vertical end-to-end - from customer discovery to shipping features that eliminate hours of manual work for our customers every day. If you love talking to customers, shipping fast, and working at the intersection of AI and financial services, we'd love to hear from you
- We're hiring a Product Manager to take ownership of one of our core verticals. You'll talk to customers, define what to build, ship it with engineering, and measure whether it's working. You'll have real influence over the roadmap and the autonomy to make calls. This is a hands-on IC role - no layers between you and the problem
- Own a product vertical end-to-end: Run discovery, write specs, prioritize the backlog, and work with engineering to ship improvements that customers love
- Be the voice of the customer: Build deep relationships with customers in your vertical, run regular feedback sessions, and translate their pain points into product opportunities
- Ship and iterate: Move fast, measure impact, and iterate. We care about outcomes, not output - a shipped feature that moves a metric beats a perfect spec that sits in a backlog
- Set product strategy: Build and present a clear product strategy grounded in customer data, competitive insight, and business impact
- Collaborate across the company: Work closely with engineering, deployment, sales, and customer success to make sure what we build lands well
Application process
- Initial conversation (20 minutes) - conversation to discuss what you're looking for, what Heron offers, and to see if there's a good fit
- Take-home challenge (~3 hours) - a task which represents the work we would expect from you
- Team interviews (~3 hours in total) - mix of technical and behavioral conversations with Heron teammates and founders. You'll get a feel for the people you'll work with and how we approach problems, and we'll get to know how you collaborate, communicate, and think. Sometimes split over 2 rounds
- References - 2 references from people you've worked with who can speak to your impact, working style, and contributions in a professional setting
Our take
NY-based Heron Data uses advanced AI and LLMs to automate document-heavy workflows. It stands out in the automation market for this laser-focus on handling documents - which traditionally cause problems for businesses looking to reduce manual work.
The company's flagship product is capable of streamlining underwriting for small business lenders and specialty finance companies. It integrates into existing CRMs directly, enabling customers to easily deliver their services faster, more accurately, and fairly.
With over 150 clients across industries like fintech, insurance, and law, the future is an exciting one for Heron. It already handles over 350,000 documents a week, for FDIC-backed lenders to leading insurers, which puts it in an ideal position for expansion.
