Role
Who you are
- 8+ years of product management experience, with at least 3 years in a dedicated PLG, growth, onboarding, or activation role at a B2B SaaS company
- Proven ownership of the full PLG funnel — signup, onboarding, activation, free trial conversion — with quantifiable results (e.g., "improved signup-to-activation rate by X%")
- Deep familiarity with PLG mechanics: freemium models, self-serve funnels, trial experiences, and in-app upgrade flows
- Hands-on experience with behavioral analytics tools such as Amplitude, Mixpanel, or similar; comfortable building and interpreting funnel reports, activation cohorts, and retention curves without needing a data analyst to do it for you
- Demonstrated experimentation chops — has designed and shipped A/B tests, understands statistical significance, and can articulate what they learned and changed as a result
- You’ve built or shipped AI-powered product features and understand how to evaluate AI outputs
- Strong stakeholder management and cross-functional influence — has worked directly with Engineers and Designers as primary stakeholders (not marketing or ad teams) and can align executives around a growth vision without direct authority
- Data-driven decision maker — lives in the metrics, can tell the story of a funnel from top to bottom, and knows when to trust data vs. qualitative signal
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager, Growth, to own and scale our customers’ first 30 days with Homebase
- You’ll drive the strategy, vision, and execution of onboarding and activation experiences that accelerate time-to-value, maximize engagement, and unlock long-term revenue impact
- This is an AI-first, data-rich role: you'll be expected to ship AI features and prove they actually work through rigorous evaluation, not just intuition
- This is a high-visibility, high-impact role, designed for a product leader who can balance strategy, execution, and cross-functional influence
- Own the end-to-end first 30-day customer experience — defining the product strategy, vision, and roadmap to accelerate onboarding, activation, and early engagement for both business owners and their employees
- Drive signup-to-activation conversion, reducing drop-off across the free trial funnel (pre-trial, freemium, and paid conversion stages)
- Design and optimize self-serve onboarding flows, in-product guidance, progress checklists, interactive product tours, and contextual tooltips that drive users to their "aha moment" faster
- Own and improve key growth metrics, including activation rate, trial-to-paid conversion rate, time-to-value, and customer acquisition cost (CAC)
- Run a high-velocity experimentation program — design A/B tests, analyze results, and iterate rapidly on onboarding and activation hypotheses using behavioral analytics tools (Amplitude, Statsig, etc.)
- Define and execute an AI-first product strategy for onboarding
- Partner cross-functionally with Engineering, Design, Marketing, Sales, and GTM leadership to align PLG initiatives with go-to-market motions and new customer revenue goals
- Collaborate with Marketing and GTM on lifecycle messaging and in-product nudges that re-engage users who have gone dark during their trial period
- Bring a strong point of view on freemium model optimization — understanding how to move users from free to paid through product experience, not just sales or marketing
Our take
Homebase provides employees and businesses with time tracking applications, with a range of other HR functionality built in. Homebase automates the process of managing employee scheduling and also helps companies improve internal communications.
The company contributes to the reduction of paperwork in an office by turning an array of devices into time clocks that track hours and overtime, while also providing payroll support. This makes it easier for companies to remain in sync, running a more efficient operation as a result.
Given that Homebase's customer base of small businesses is not able to pay a lot for its product, scale is the key driver in the company's future success. With over 100,000 customers already, its significant venture capital backing will ensure that the company will be able to grow (notably, it's investing in Canadian talent) to provide its services on a profitable scale.
