Your Role at impact.com

We’re hiring a technical Associate Product Manager for the Action Processing (AP) and Contracting Squad — one of impact.com’s most foundational domains: how brands and partners define terms, commissions, lists, and contract workflows that power revenue on the platform.

You’ll partner closely with a Senior Product Manager and Engineering to ship customer value in a complex, data-heavy domain. This is not a “project coordinator” APM role. You’ll write crisp requirements fast, dig into how systems behave, use AI tools as part of how you work, and grow ownership quickly under structured coaching.

What You'll Do

You’ll own focused feature slices with coaching from your Senior PM, with scope expanding as you prove out execution and judgment.

• Partner with Engineering through build: surface risks, blockers, and acceptance gaps early.
• Write and iterate Markdown requirements that live adjacent to the GitHub repo (alongside eng context), and co-lead pre-spec and spec reviews — with short time from ambiguous ask to eng-ready draft.
