Product Manager

Department: Product

Employment Type: Full Time

Location: London

Reporting To: Joe Kanabar-Adams

Description

Hi 👋 I’m Bill, CTO at Pinpoint.

We’re a high-growth HR tech startup building and selling software that helps in-house recruitment teams attract, hire, and onboard the right talent. Today, we have a strong foundation in place, with a mature product, rapid growth, strong product-market fit, and happy customers.

With that growth comes more complexity — across customers, workflows, and teams. To keep scaling well, we’re expanding our Product team and moving to a vertical squad model: small, focused groups that own a specific area of the platform end-to-end. Each squad includes a Product Manager (that’s you), a Designer, and 2–5 Engineers.

In this role, you’ll fully own one of those verticals — shaping strategy, making fast, informed decisions, and leading discovery and delivery in partnership with engineering and design. You won’t just manage a roadmap. You’ll create clarity, drive alignment, and be accountable for outcomes — not just outputs. You’ll also play a key role in enabling the business — helping teams like Sales, Success, and Support understand what’s changing, why it matters, and how to communicate it clearly.

The fine print (but way more exciting):

This is a remote role based in the U.K., with a few in-person team meetups each year. Our HQ is in Jersey, UK, and our 80-person team is spread across the U.K. and U.S
Our Product & Engineering team is 26 people today across the U.K. and EU with plans to expand significantly in 2026
We’re looking for people who’ve worked at startups like ours — or companies slightly ahead of where we are today — and are excited about helping us grow into the next phase.
Regarding salary—we’re flexible. This is an important hire, and finding the right people matters most. We’ll talk through expectations early and make sure we’re fully aligned before final stages. No surprises
Our values actually matter here. We hire people who reflect them in how they work, collaborate, and make decisions

Key Responsibilities

Product Strategy: Define and maintain a clear strategy, vision, and narrative for your vertical; translate company goals into measurable product goals, KPIs, and north-star metrics; ensure your area supports broader platform and company objectives
Product Discovery: Lead customer and internal interviews, research, and analysis; leverage usage analytics, competitive insights, and market trends; identify high-value problems and opportunities using evidence, not assumptions
Requirements & Specifications: Write clear specs, user stories, acceptance criteria, and success metrics; ensure engineering and design understand the “why” behind each requirement; maintain a well-documented, healthy backlog
Prioritisation & Decision-Making: Use frameworks such as RICE or MoSCoW to make transparent prioritisation decisions; balance customer value, technical complexity, business impact, and strategic alignment; make and defend tough calls with clarity
Design & Delivery Oversight: Lead direction, sequencing, and delivery within the squad; understand architecture, constraints, and trade-offs; ensure shipped work solves real problems — not just matches a spec
Go-to-Market & Internal Enablement: Create supporting materials (release notes, help guides, one-pagers, internal docs) and lead product briefings to enable Sales, Success, and Support. Help them understand what’s shipping, why it matters, and how to position it clearly with customers.
Continuous Improvement: Monitor adoption, performance, reliability, and feedback; drive iterative improvements; own the long-term clarity and consistency of your product area

Process & Team Leadership: Run the operating rhythms for your vertical (refinement, planning, reviews, release coordination); keep your squad predictable, unblocked, and aligned; partner with engineering and design leads for technical quality and consistency

A detailed overview of our benefits can be found here.

We’re changing the way companies hire, and rewriting the rules of recruitment.

We’re a high-growth HR tech company building software that makes hiring faster, fairer, and more human, fixing the broken processes that make it hard for great candidates and great companies to find each other.

Founded in 2018, we bootstrapped our way to 500+ customers and $5M ARR before raising private equity funding in 2023 to support our next stage of growth. Today, we’re a 90-person team across the U.K. and U.S., serving more than 1,000 organizations worldwide. We scale deliberately, with sensible unit economics and no layoffs, because we’re building for the long term—not the next funding round.

Our product is deep and configurable enough to support complex hiring workflows, yet simple enough for teams to love using every day. That balance is what makes Pinpoint different. We back it up with genuine care: fast (under 90 seconds), human support and honest answers, every time.

Our culture is built on genuine transparency and values we actually use to make decisions. Even as we’ve moved past early-startup noise, everyone here still shapes how we operate—taking ownership, staying curious, and solving problems proactively. As we scale, we balance structure with flexibility while holding ourselves to a high bar for respect and kindness.

If you want to move quickly, solve meaningful problems, and work with kind, smart people—while helping change the way companies hire—this is the place to do it.
