Staff Product Manager

The posting, as Ashby wrote it

Hi, I’m Geo, Ashby’s VP of Product. I joined Ashby August ‘26; read more about why I joined here. https://www.ashbyhq.com/blog/all/a-letter-from-chris-geoghegan-on-joining-ashby I’m hiring for multiple Product Managers who will report directly to me. More on the specific product areas below.

At Ashby, we have a unique approach to building products https://www.ashbyhq.com/blog/culture/ashbys-operating-principles. As a PM, your primary goal is to eliminate frustration and bring delight to our customers. You’ll work with engineers who deeply understand the customer and business problem and own the solution end-to-end. This means that you spend less time writing detailed specs and more time with customers and doing deep product thinking.

Our unique approach is working. We’re growing >100% year over year and have notable customers such as Notion, Linear, OpenAI, Shopify, and Snowflake. Our growth and retention metrics are best in class among our peers. We’re backed by amazing investors like Y Combinator, Elad Gil, Lachy Groom, and many more!

PRODUCT AREAS

From day one, we have aimed to build "all-in-one and best-in-class" software for Talent teams. In addition to building a multi-product foundation from day one, we have also focused on enabling customizability and power-user features while keeping Ashby easy to get started with. Doing both is an ambitious undertaking!

We want to continue down this ambitious path in future and add multiple new products, which means we:

• Are not just building a product, we’re building a platform
• Need to find a balance between re-usable building blocks and feature-specific behaviour
• Blend enterprise customizability and ease of use

We also want to continuously delight users. We hear "I never thought one could fall in love with an ATS" quite often, and we want to keep that true for all future products we build.

We are looking for Product Managers who can own the roadmap and strategy for the following areas:

• Product Platform: Ashby was designed from the beginning as a multi-product platform. We’re looking for a PM to establish this team and own the shared building blocks, foundational capabilities, and APIs that let product teams move quickly.
• Great fit if you:
• Bring strong technical product judgment and enjoy working on APIs, shared systems, and foundational capabilities
• Know how to balance reusable building blocks with polished, customer-facing product experiences
• Like creating leverage by helping teams ship quickly and consistently while improving what customers directly see and use
• AI Platform: You’ll own the Ashby Assistant, Ashby MCP, and the AI platform used across many product surfaces. You’ll help drive shared primitives, such as AI memory and context.
• Great fit if you:
• Have experience building AI-powered products, especially agents, copilots, or workflow automation
• Enjoy shaping sha

BENEFITS

• 10-year exercise window for stock options. You shouldn’t feel pressure to purchase stock options if you leave Ashby —do it when you feel financially comfortable.
• Unlimited PTO with four weeks recommended per year.
• Twelve weeks of fully paid family leave in the US. We plan to expand this to employees in other countries as situations arise.
• Generous equipment, software, and office furniture budget. Get what you need to be happy and productive!
• $100/month education budget with more expensive items (like conferences) covered with manager approval.
• $250/month tool budget plus access to Claude, Cursor, and Codex with generous token budgets.
• If you’re in the US, we offer top-tier health insurance for you and your dependents, with 100% of premiums covered by Ashby. In other countries, we provide high-quality supplemental health insurance for you and your dependents, which is also fully covered by us.

Ashby’s success hinges on hiring great people and creating an environment where we can be happy, feel challenged, and do our best work. We’re being deliberate about building that environment from the ground up. I hope that excites you enough to apply.
