Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Senior Product Owner - **Company:** Govdocs, Inc. - **Location:** Saint Paul, MN, United States (Remote available) - **Experience:** Expert - **Salary:** $150,000.0 - $165,000.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Software as a Service, Information Engineering, Data Infrastructure, Rapid Prototyping Process, Mixpanel, Amplitude Analytics, Heap (Data Structure), Synthesizing Data - **Published:** August 3, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=7c0cc218f963ffd9 ## About the Role * Product management experience in a SaaS and/or B2B environment, with a track record of owning a product area end-to-end through multiple lifecycle stages - from initial discovery through launch, growth, and maturity. Experience operating in regulated or compliance-adjacent markets is a strong plus but not required. * A strong stakeholder management skill set - you move seamlessly between technical and non-technical audiences, keep stakeholders aligned, manage expectations, and communicate status with clarity and confidence. You've managed executive-level stakeholders, influenced roadmap prioritization at the leadership level, and driven alignment across competing organizational priorities. * Hands-on experience with product and behavioral analytics platforms such as Heap, Mixpanel, Amplitude, or Pendo - including architecting event taxonomies, building dashboards, and translating data into decisions. You can build a measurement framework from scratch for a new product area, or work within an existing one. * Fluency with modern product development methodologies, including agile practices. Familiarity with the Shape Up framework is a plus, but not a requirement. More importantly, you treat methodologies as a buffet -* drawing from what works for your team -* rather than a rigid rulebook. * A customer-first mindset - you're equally comfortable leading a user interview with a Fortune 500 client and presenting on a sales call with a new prospect. * A bias for ownership and service - you'll triage a bug ticket, troubleshoot an issue, or train a non-technical teammate without missing a beat on your current project. No task is beneath you if it moves the team or the customer forward. * Confident with AI-augmented workflows - we actively leverage AI tools to elevate our team's output across pitch writing, customer feedback analysis, data synthesis, and rapid prototyping. * An eye for design - you may not be a designer by trade, but you know good UX when you see it and can articulate why something isn't working. * Clear, confident communication - in writing, in meetings, in Slack. You make complex things simple and keep people informed without being asked. * Executive presentation skills - you're comfortable owning the room. You can take a complex product strategy or roadmap update and present it with confidence to executive leadership, customers, or cross-functional partners - without needing a Director in the room to carry the narrative. You know how to read the audience, land the key takeaway, and handle tough questions on your feet. * A genuine love for the craft -* you've read Torres, Cagan, Perri, Ries, and Singer, have strong opinions about their ideas, and enjoy a spirited debate about the best way to build products. You've formed your own product philosophy through experience - not just from reading.* ## Description We're hiring a Senior Product Manager to help GovDocs continue building innovative products that accelerate customer growth, maintain our best-in-class retention, and solidify our position as a market leader in employment law compliance. In this role, you won't just execute on a roadmap - you'll help set the strategic direction for our products, shape how the team discovers and delivers, and elevate the product practice at GovDocs. From defining multi-year strategy to post-launch measurement and validation, you will lead the decisions that shape what gets built, why it gets built, and whether it achieves the outcome - collaborating closely with engineering, UX design, key stakeholders, customers, and leadership along the way. This is a high-impact, high-ownership role for a senior product manager who thrives on solving complex problems, building great products, and raising the ceiling for the teams around them., * Own the outcome - Take full ownership of our product's success across the entire lifecycle: uncovering market demand, prioritizing customer problems, testing proposed solutions, collaborating with UX design and engineering on the build, and jump-starting go-to-market execution to drive adoption and hit our goals. * Own the "why" - Be the team's north star for prioritization - always prepared to articulate and defend why the team is committing time and resources to a specific problem, grounding every decision in data, customer insights, and business outcomes. * Stay close to the customer - Continuously engage customers through user interviews, surveys, and customer advisory panels to deeply understand their challenges and validate that our solutions solve them. Synthesize and prioritize market problems and opportunities captured from all internal and external sources. * Lead through influence - Guide cross-functional teams of engineers and designers - without direct authority - to build products and features that address the highest-priority customer problems. Extend that influence to the broader product team: provide feedback to other PMs, contribute to shared practices around discovery and prioritization, and help shape how the Product function operates at GovDocs. * Drive product strategy - Partner with the Director of Product to set the multi-year strategic direction for the GovDocs platform. Identify emerging market trends, competitive dynamics, and long-range customer opportunities that inform company-level investment decisions - not just the next cycle's roadmap. * Develop the team - Contribute to a high-performing product team by sharing your perspective on discovery, prioritization, and delivery. Participate in hiring and help establish shared team standards. * Build strong internal partnerships - Cultivate relationships and trust across the organization, including open and proactive collaboration with Customer Success, Marketing, Sales, and Compliance Research. * Define clear goals and measure everything - Operate with a measurement-first mentality. Set clear objectives, establish success metrics before work begins, and use outcomes - not output - to evaluate progress. * Make data-informed decisions - Leverage product analytics to drive roadmap, feature, UX, and go/no-go decisions. Partner with the Data Engineering team to ensure the right instrumentation and data infrastructure is in place today and built for tomorrow. * Write sharp, actionable pitches - Follow the Shape Up methodology to craft concise, well-reasoned pitches that clearly define context, problem, proposed solution, scope boundaries, and risks for new product development initiative. ## Related Videos - [Marketing x Product: How We Stopped Gaslighting Each Other and Built AI Products That Actually Work](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100244-marketing-x-product-how-we-stopped-gaslighting-each-other-and-built-ai-products-that-actually-work) - [Beyond Dashboards: Fixing Text-to-SQL with Semantic RAG](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2036-beyond-dashboards-fixing-text-to-sql-with-semantic-rag) - [From Global Capability Centers to AI-Powered Command Centers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100096-from-global-capability-centers-to-ai-powered-command-centers) - [Data: The Deciding Factor in AI Success](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100310-data-the-deciding-factor-in-ai-success) - [Stop Renaming Teams, Start Product Thinking: A PM's Guide to Platform-as-a-Product](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100342-stop-renaming-teams-start-product-thinking-a-pm-s-guide-to-platform-as-a-product) - [Swapping a Data Warehouse at Runtime: Zero-Downtime Migration Without Changing a Single Client](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100311-swapping-a-data-warehouse-at-runtime-zero-downtime-migration-without-changing-a-single-client) ## Related Articles - [Never delegate the understanding](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/749-never-delegate-the-understanding) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [The Most Important Concept Every Developer Should Know](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/344-the-most-important-concept-every-developer-should-know) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [What is product discovery and why do developers need it?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/517-what-is-product-discovery-and-why-do-developers-need-it) - [Why developer experience matters](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/514-why-developer-experience-matters)
