At Wave, we help small businesses to thrive so the heart of our communities beats stronger. We work in an environment buzzing with creative energy and inspiration. No matter where you are or how you get the job done, you have what you need to be successful and connected. The mark of true success at Wave is the ability to be bold, learn quickly and share your knowledge generously.
Wave’s Payroll business is a core pillar of our mission to make finance effortless for small business owners. As the Senior Product Manager, Payroll, you will own the strategy, roadmap, and execution for critical Payroll experiences and underlying platform capabilities. You will shape how entrepreneurs onboard, run payroll, stay compliant, and trust Wave to handle their most sensitive financial workflows.
You will drive the long-term vision for Payroll, translate customer and regulatory insights into durable product strategy, and lead cross-functional teams across Engineering, Design, CX, Operations, Risk, Finance, and Compliance. You will balance strategic clarity with operational excellence—ranging from conceptualizing entirely new capabilities to managing the scalability, reliability, and regulatory soundness of our existing systems.
This role is ideal for a senior leader who can operate at multiple altitudes: visionary enough to chart the future of Payroll at Wave and pragmatic enough to guide teams through ambiguity, complexity, and rapid iteration.
