Why should you be part of our success story?

As the fastest-growing Software as a Service (SaaS) company in history, Deel is transforming how global talent connects with world-class companies – breaking down borders that have traditionally limited both hiring and career opportunities. We're not just building software; we're creating the infrastructure for the future of work, enabling a more diverse and inclusive global economy. In 2024 alone, we paid $11.2 billion to workers in nearly 100 currencies and provided healthcare and benefits to workers in 109 countries—ensuring people get paid and protected, no matter where they are.

Our momentum is reflected in our achievements and customer satisfaction: CNBC Disruptor 50, Forbes Cloud 100, Deloitte Fast 500, and repeated recognition on Y Combinator's top companies list – all while maintaining a 4.83 average rating from 15,000 reviews across G2, Trustpilot, Captera, Apple and Google.

Your experience at Deel will be a career accelerator. At the forefront of the global work revolution, you'll tackle complex challenges that impact millions of people's working lives. With our momentum—backed by a $17.3 billion valuation and $1 B in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) in just over five years—you'll drive meaningful impact while building expertise that makes you a sought-after leader in the transformation of global work.

Why this role existsBenefits is one of Deel's fastest growing products. What started as a feature bundled into our core offering has grown into a strategic product area in its own right, and we're now investing seriously in what it becomes next.

We're past the earliest proving phase, but we're nowhere near done. The next chapter is growth and depth: expanding global coverage country by country, and making the experience genuinely great for the companies that administer benefits and the workers who live in them every day. At the same time, we're exploring new product verticals within the benefits space that we believe represent major opportunities for Deel's next phase of growth.

This role owns both tracks:- 1-to-100: Take an early-stage product and build it into something people are proud of by improving depth, reliability, and the global user experience at scale.- 0-to-1: Define and launch a new product vertical within benefits. The ambition is set; the execution is yours to shape.

What you'll actually doOwn the 1-to-100:Work directly with customers to understand where the product falls short and iterate rapidlyEnsure that AI is at the core of your product and user's experience.

Ship experiences where agents do the work the users used to do. Drive product depth — improving integrations, enrollment flows, and the experience for companies and employees managing benefits globallyPartner closely with Ops, Sales, and GTMs to ensure the product can be sold and adopted at scaleMake hard prioritisation calls across a complex, multi-market product with real commercial stakesLead a 0-to-1:Define and ship an MVP of a new product vertical within the first 3 monthsRun structured discovery, frame the problem clearly, and move from insight to shipped product quicklyLeverage Deel's existing infrastructure and distribution where relevant; we have significant assets to build onOperate as a high-agency, technically credible PM:Hold peer-level technical conversations with engineering leads, not as an engineer, but as a PM who understands the constraints and speaks the languageUse AI tools actively in your day-to-day workflow.

Not aspirationally — concretely, specifically, todayNavigate constant prioritisation trade-offs with a CEO who is directly engaged with product decisionsWhat you'll bringNon-negotiable: Real 0-to-1 experience: you have taken a product from a blank page to something in market, and you can tell that story end-to-end including the hard partsProduct taste and war stories: you have shipped enough to have strong instincts about what good looks like, and you can back them with evidenceActive AI fluency:you build products that leverage AI and use AI tools in your workflow today, specifically and concretely.

Not planning to. Not interested in. Actually doing itTechnical credibility: you can hold a peer-level conversation with an engineering lead about APIs, integrations, and data modelsHigh agency from day one: you do not need a clean brief or a finished roadmap.

You are the person who creates structure, not finds itStrongly valued: B2B SaaS experience at a scaling startup or scaleup: managing multiple engineering teams and owning both discovery and deliveryMulti-country product experience: understanding that global compliance is a product problem, not just a legal one7+ years of PM experience with demonstrable Staff-level impactFintech, payments, or embedded finance background — experience building transaction-based or financially complex productsWhat we are not looking for: Deep Benefits domain knowledge as a substitute for product craft: we care about how you build, not which industry you've built inSomeone who needs the environment to be structured before they can operateDelivery-focused PMs without strong discovery instinctsHow Deel works — what you're walking intoQuarterly planning exists but plans change.
