What Product Management is like at Symmetry:

• Our Product team is lean, which means you’ll have a high degree of impact and ownership. We believe in smaller, empowered teams that move quickly with less overhead. You’ll pair sharp product judgment with fluency in AI tools — automating what slows teams down and amplifying what makes them creative and high‑performing.
• We’re builders. Lines between roles are intentionally blurred, and our PMs do whatever it takes to deliver outcomes. You’ll prototype, automate, design, and ship — using AI as your co‑builder to turn problems into durable solutions that deliver customer value with urgency and care.
• We’re here to serve the payroll industry. Our technology impacts over 64 million paychecks in the US each year. We’re driven by deep customer empathy and a relentless desire to innovate.
• We’re comfortable with change. Our environment moves fast, and PMs here thrive in ambiguity — blending curiosity, experimentation, and AI‑native craft to shape how products (and work itself) are built at Symmetry.

About the Role:

We’re looking for a product leader to own the development of new business lines for payroll tax products. This 0 to 1 focused role will have broad autonomy to lead discovery, strategy, and execution for new products in payroll tax.

  Partner across Product, Engineering, Compliance, Legal, CX, Marketing, Sales, and Operations to uncover insights, validate assumptions, and build alignment. You’ll help create shared context and ensure cross‑functional teams are set up to deliver.
• Accelerate Execution
  :
  Step into the highest‑priority gaps that stand in the way of success. Whether it’s clarifying requirements, kicking off strategic initiatives, or embedding with a team to drive execution, you’ll help advance the work by creating clarity, building momentum, and enabling others to succeed.
