Job Description

As a Product Solutions Manager in the Employee Experience team, you will act as a bridge between our customers and Product teams, developing a deep understanding of recruiter, hiring manager, candidate, and operational needs and translating those insights into effective solutions and actionable product feedback.

As a subject matter expert, you will provide guidance on how capabilities can best be applied, identify gaps and opportunities, drive adoption, support implementation and change readiness, and ensure critical customer feedback is communicated to Product teams to influence strategic roadmaps and future investment.
