What You'll Do:

This role will lead the discovery, definition, and delivery of high-impact product features that drive value for our merchants and their customers. As a Product Manager, you will act as the bridge between business goals, technical constraints, and user needs, leading cross-functional teams to ship scalable solutions in a fast-paced startup environment.

• Support Product Strategy: Collaborate with leadership to define the product roadmap, prioritizing initiatives that align with Extend’s mission to revolutionize the post-purchase experience.
• Own Feature Outcomes: Drive the end-to-end product lifecycle for specific features—from initial discovery and requirement gathering (PRDs) to launch and post-launch optimization.
• Collaborative Execution: Partner closely with Engineering, Design, and stakeholders to deliver persona-first, data-driven solutions while navigating technical trade-offs and business goals.
• Decide with Data: Leverage user research, product analytics and A/B testing to iterate on features and advocate for the best user outcomes.
• Accelerate with AI: Identify opportunities to integrate AI-assisted tools and workflows to enhance the merchant experience and automate internal processes.
• Customer Advocacy: Actively engage with internal Customer Success teams to gather feedback, identify pain points, and translate them into actionable product requirements.
• Refine the Roadmap: Participate in sprint planning, backlog grooming, and retrospective meetings, providing clear direction and ensuring the team is focused on the highest-priority tasks.

What We're Looking For:

• Experience: 4+ years of professional experience in product management, with a track record of shipping successful B2B or consumer-facing software products.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Business, CS, Engineering, or a related field—or equivalent professional experience showing a strong grasp of product fundamentals.
• Core Competency: We need a PM who is an execution powerhouse. You should demonstrate the ability to take complex, ambiguous problems and break them down into clear, executable steps for engineering and design teams.
• Analytical Prowess: Strong proficiency in using data to tell a story. You are comfortable writing SQL or using analytics platforms to track KPIs and measure the success of your features.
• Communication: A clear and persuasive communicator who can explain the "why" behind product decisions and manage expectations across diverse stakeholder groups.
• Technical Literacy: A solid understanding of API integrations, cloud architecture, and modern software development lifecycles to ensure feasible and scalable product handoffs.
• Entrepreneurial Mindset: Thrives in a high-growth, fast-paced environment. You are a self-starter who is comfortable wearing multiple hats and taking extreme ownership of your domain.

Nice-To-Haves:

• Fintech or E-commerce Fluency: Prior experience working with payment gateways, checkout flows, or insurance-tech products.
• Merchant Experience: Experience building dashboards or tools specifically for SMB or Enterprise retailers.
• API Product Management: Background in managing developer-facing products or third-party integrations.
