About the Role

We’re hiring a Product Manager for our Mid-Market Activation squad — one of three squads inside Float’s Spend Management pillar, reporting to the Head of Spend Management.

The mission is simple to state and hard to do: put a Float card in the hands of every employee who should have one, and get them spending fast. Today, too many mid-market accounts sign with Float and then sit at a fraction of the employee coverage they should have — because issuing cards is manual, onboarding is manual, and nothing tells an admin who is missing a card.

Your job is to remove every manual step between “an employee exists” and “that employee has spent.” You’ll own active cardholder penetration — the share of employees at each account holding and actively using a Float card. It’s one of two terms that multiply into Float’s card volume, and it’s yours alone.

This is a role for a PM with solid fundamentals who wants to own a real number with real scope, alongside senior product leaders. You’ll work with a designer and four engineers, plus Product Ops/Analytics, Sales, and CX.

What You’ll Own

Surface area

• Card issuance and provisioning — templates, bulk create, and the workflows admins use to get cards out

• HRIS and SCIM integrations — new hire in the HR system triggers a card, with no admin action

• The Overview page and Action Items — the surface that tells an admin what to do next, plus the framework other squads publish their items into

• Onboarding and activation nudges — everything between card issued and first successful transaction

• Reimbursement-to-card conversion — turning out-of-pocket spend into a signal for who needs a card

• Activation-window declines — first-transaction failures on brand new cards, which are usually a configuration problem at issuance rather than a limit problem

Outcomes you’re accountable for

• Active cardholder penetration

• Median time to first spend for a new cardholder

• Share of mid-market accounts with a live HRIS/SCIM connection

• Share of new cards issued through automated provisioning rather than manual create

What You’ll Be Responsible For

Product execution and delivery

• Own features end-to-end, from discovery through launch and iteration.

• Translate customer and business problems into clear requirements and user stories that engineering can estimate against.

• Partner closely with Design and Engineering to ship intuitive, high-quality workflows on time.

• Manage dependencies, scope trade-offs, and delivery risks with clarity and accountability.

Roadmap ownership

• Own your squad’s roadmap within a defined mission and metric. Candidate initiatives are pre-populated; sizing, sequencing, and cuts are your call, with support from the Head of Spend Management.

• Defend that sequencing in pillar prioritization conversations, with trade-offs and impact stated plainly.

• Balance speed, quality, and commercial priorities within your scope, and re-cut the plan when the data says the current one is wrong.

Customer-focused development

• Talk to admins, HR, and ops teams — the people doing the provisioning — and to Sales and CX about where accounts stall.

• Identify and remove high-friction steps in B2B workflows: permissions, bulk actions, integrations, onboarding.

Data-driven decision making

• Define and track success metrics for everything you ship.

• Set baselines with Product Ops early, and instrument Action Item completion, which doesn’t exist today.

• Analyze funnels and experiments to guide iteration, and improve measurement clarity in your area.

AI-enabled product and workflow thinking

• Use AI tools to accelerate research, documentation, analysis, and planning.

• Identify responsible, high-leverage AI use cases in provisioning and activation, and evaluate risks, data requirements, and guardrails when proposing them.

What Success Looks Like (6–12 Months)

• You independently own and deliver against your squad’s roadmap with minimal day-to-day direction.

• Active cardholder penetration is measurably up at mid-market accounts, and automated provisioning has displaced a meaningful share of manual card creation.

• Time to first spend is down, and first-transaction declines on new cards are down.

• Action Item completion is instrumented, baselined, and improving.

• You’re seen as a reliable, coachable, high-growth PM who consistently raises the bar.

What We’re Looking For

• You have strong product fundamentals. 3+ years of hands-on B2B SaaS product management in a startup or scale-up. You’ve owned features end-to-end and can point to measurable impact.

• You put customers first. You start from real workflow friction and care deeply about usability. You can tell a high-friction B2B workflow from a low-friction one.

• You act like an owner. You take responsibility for outcomes, not output. You escalate risks with options and follow through on commitments.

• You’re analytically strong. Comfortable with metrics, funnels, and experimentation, with SQL familiarity or a strong partnership with data teams. You use evidence to decide and change your mind when the data is clear.

• You have good product judgment. You can differentiate good from bad design, you think in workflows and edge cases, and you partner well with Design and Engineering.

• You’re coachable with a high growth slope. You seek feedback, learn quickly, and improve your craft. You’re resilient in ambiguity and energized by growth.

• You’re curious about AI. You use modern tools to improve your productivity and clarity, and you’re open-minded about how AI can improve both the product and how PMs work.

• Nice to have

  • Fintech, spend management, or financial operations product experience

  • SMB or mid-market focused B2B SaaS

  • Exposure to integrations (HRIS, SCIM, SSO), provisioning systems, permissions, or bulk operations

  • Experience with activation, onboarding, or growth-style product work

This Role May Not Be a Fit If

• You prefer heavy direction rather than operating independently within a defined scope.

• You struggle to connect product work to measurable outcomes.

• You avoid analytical work, or decision-making based on data.

• You resist new tools, feedback, or evolving workflows.
