Senior Product Manager

Hi! 👋

At Factorial, we're rebuilding HR software on a simple bet: AI isn't a feature you bolt on—it's how the product gets built, shipped, and improved. We're on the lookout for a Senior Product Manager who wants to own a real piece of that.

The Role ✨

You'll own a key product area at Factorial—end to end, with full autonomy over strategy and execution. This isn't a feature factory: you set the direction, make the calls, and own the outcome. You move fast without losing the long-term vision.

You'll join our Product team, led by Emma Sesmero, our VP of Product, working shoulder to shoulder with an exceptional group of engineers, designers, and data folks to shape what modern, AI-native HR software actually looks like—for tens of thousands of companies worldwide.

What You'll Be Doing

As a Senior Product Manager at Factorial, you will:

• Own the outcome, not the backlog: Define the vision, roadmap, and success metrics for your area—and own the business result (adoption, retention, revenue), not just the features you ship.

• Decide where AI actually earns its place: Find the workflows where AI creates real leverage, and be honest about where it adds risk or noise. Then prove it with evaluation frameworks—hallucination, failure modes, whether it holds up unattended. You're not shipping blind.

• Make the hard calls—and defend them: Prioritization, build-vs-integrate, what to kill. You'll make these in ambiguity and stand behind them with leadership and customers.

• Partner cross-functionally: Work with customers, Customer Success, Marketing, and Sales to understand the HR space deeply and turn that understanding into real value.

• Be the DRI: Set the hypotheses and metrics before launch, own them after. If it works, it's because of decisions you made and can defend.

What We're Looking For

We care more about the shape of your judgment than the shape of your CV. Some of our best PMs came into product from engineering, journalism, search, venture, or founding something—not from a linear PM track. Here's what actually matters, in order:

• You've built something from close to zero—and owned the outcome: A new area, a 0→1 product, a bet you defined and drove, with a result you can name (revenue from nothing, adoption from nothing, a market you moved). "I executed someone else's roadmap well" isn't it—you set the direction and stood behind it.

• You've done it where the ground moved under you: Hyper-growth, or a domain with real depth and stakes—shifting priorities, problems no one had solved, scale that broke last quarter's assumptions.

• You can make AI reliable, not just impressive: You understand LLM capabilities and failure modes (hallucination, bias, silent errors), and you've either shipped AI to production or thought rigorously about how to evaluate whether it truly works—quality, tone, trust, the handoffs. This is our core bet; it matters here more than almost anywhere.

• Your scope has compounded over time: Whatever your starting point, your trajectory shows you being trusted with bigger, more ambiguous bets—and delivering on them.

• You communicate with force: You're confident pitching, influencing, and advocating for your vision—internally and with customers and senior leadership.

• You speak fluent English (additional languages such as Spanish, French, Italian, or German are highly valued).

Bonus Points if You:

• Have worked in HR tech, payroll, compliance, or another domain with real regulatory and data complexity.

• Have hands-on experience shipping AI-powered features to production—and killing the ones that didn't earn their place.

• Have strong technical intuition: comfortable discussing system design, data flows, and integration trade-offs with engineers. (Useful, not a gate—we care more about judgment than depth.)

• Have familiarity with integration architectures, API design, or marketplace dynamics.

• Have experience in hyper-growth environments where things move fast and change is constant.

Compensation 💰

The salary range for this position is between €75,000 (€60,000 fix + €15,000 based on performance, paid quarterly) and €87,500 (€70,000 fix + €17,500 based on performance, paid quarterly). We focus on skills and impact, not years on the clock.

On top of that, you'll get stock options (ESOPs)—we want you to own a piece of what you build. We're transparent about exactly how they work: our ESOP Bible is public, so give it a read.

How We Work 💻

At Factorial, we believe the best products are built when people come together—in person—to collaborate, challenge ideas, and move fast. That's why our Product team follows an office-first, flexible approach.

We work on-site several days a week (80%), using that time to connect, align, and innovate as a team. However, we also understand the importance of focus and flexibility, so we support remote work when it makes sense (20%)—whether for deep work, personal needs, or just a change of scenery.

This balance helps us stay agile, creative, and closely connected—while giving everyone the space to do their best work.

About us 🚀

Factorial is the AI for Business that knows companies, connects how work happens across the business, and turns that context into action.

Founded in Barcelona in 2016, we now have +1,700 employees serving more than 16,000 companies across 112 countries.

Factorial started with a simple idea: companies were spending too much time managing processes and not enough time doing the work they were hired to do: their best work.

But as companies grow, work gets more disconnected. More people, more tools, more information, and more time spent connecting the dots. Generic AI can answer questions, but it doesn’t know your company. Every time, you have to give it the context.

Factorial is different. Because it’s inside the company, it already knows how it works, including its people, processes, policies, and data. So you can ask it to do real work, from screening candidates and managing expenses to answering questions and creating reports.

AI isn’t the goal. Giving people back their time is.

When work changes, so do we.
