About the role

Baselayer is building the identity layer for institutions across the United States, combining multiple data sources into a real-time business identity graph. The Sr. Product Manager will own new product definitions targeting verticals beyond financial institutions, own the current product surface roadmap, and drive cross-functional execution with engineering, design, and GTM.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the scoping of new products targeting verticals beyond financial institutions, from initial thesis through detailed product spec
  • Translate market opportunity into product requirements, including target user, core workflows, success metrics, and what's explicitly out of scope
  • Build artifacts that align the company: PRDs, one-pagers, wireframes, decision logs, and launch criteria
  • Own the 'what' and the 'why' so eng and design can own the 'how'
  • Write specs that engineers can build from without a dozen follow-up questions
  • Produce wireframes and flow diagrams that make tradeoffs concrete and force decisions early
  • Partner closely with design on UX, with strong opinions on craft and a clear bar for what ships
  • Run spec reviews that surface ambiguity before it becomes rework
  • Own the roadmap for Baselayer's current product surface, sequencing what gets built and what waits
  • Make the daily prioritization calls that keep engineering focused on the highest-leverage work
  • Build a planning cadence that's predictable for the team and legible to the rest of the company
  • Kill work that isn't pulling its weight
  • Drive execution across engineering, design, and GTM (Sales, Marketing, CS, Growth)
  • Run the launch process: scope lock, build, beta, GA, with clear handoffs and ownership at each stage
  • Be the connective tissue between what's being built and what's being sold, supported, and marketed
  • Operate with founder-level ownership and urgency. You'll be trusted to make calls and held to the outcomes

Qualifications

  • 5+ years in product management, with at least one zero-to-one product you scoped, shipped, and grew into material revenue
  • Track record working closely with senior engineering leadership (CTO, VP Eng, founding engineers) as a true thought partner
  • Strong written communication. You write specs, briefs, and one-pagers that move decisions forward without a meeting
  • Strong opinions on UX and product craft, with the ability to defend them and the humility to update them
  • Operates with founder-level ownership and urgency. You don't wait to be told what's broken
  • Comfortable with technical concepts. You can hold your own in architecture conversations without needing to write the code yourself
  • Bias toward shipping. A v1 in market beats a v3 in a doc
