About the Role

As Baselayer's first dedicated Sr. Product Manager, you will own the creation, design, and full scoping of new products that expand Baselayer beyond financial institutions into new verticals. You will define product strategy, write detailed product specifications, create wireframes, and partner closely with design and engineering teams. This role also involves managing the existing product surface, setting priorities, and ensuring the engineering team ships the right features.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the scoping of new products targeting verticals beyond financial institutions, from initial thesis through detailed product spec.
  • Translate market opportunity into product requirements, including target user, core workflows, success metrics, and what's explicitly out of scope.
  • Build artifacts that align the company: PRDs, one-pagers, wireframes, decision logs, and launch criteria.
  • Own the 'what' and the 'why' so engineering and design can own the 'how'.
  • Write specs that engineers can build from without a dozen follow-up questions.
  • Produce wireframes and flow diagrams that make tradeoffs concrete and force decisions early.
  • Partner closely with design on UX, with strong opinions on craft and a clear bar for what ships.
  • Run spec reviews that surface ambiguity before it becomes rework.
  • Own the roadmap for Baselayer's current product surface, sequencing what gets built and what waits.
  • Make the daily prioritization calls that keep engineering focused on the highest-leverage work.
  • Build a planning cadence that's predictable for the team and legible to the rest of the company.
  • Kill work that isn't pulling its weight.
  • Drive execution across engineering, design, and GTM (Sales, Marketing, CS, Growth).
  • Run the launch process: scope lock, build, beta, GA, with clear handoffs and ownership at each stage.
  • Be the connective tissue between what's being built and what's being sold, supported, and marketed.
  • Operate with founder-level ownership and urgency. You'll be trusted to make calls and held to the outcomes.

Requirements

  • 5+ years in product management, with at least one zero-to-one product you scoped, shipped, and grew into material revenue.
  • Track record working closely with senior engineering leadership (CTO, VP Eng, founding engineers) as a true thought partner, not a ticket-writer.
  • Strong written communication. You write specs, briefs, and one-pagers that move decisions forward without a meeting.
  • Strong opinions on UX and product craft, with the ability to defend them and the humility to update them.
  • Operates with founder-level ownership and urgency. You don't wait to be told what's broken.
  • Comfortable with technical concepts. You can hold your own in architecture conversations without needing to write the code yourself.
  • Bias toward shipping. A v1 in market beats a v3 in a doc.
