Associate Product Manager

As an APM at Merge, you will be the end-to-end owner of an entire unified API vertical (think ATS, HRIS, accounting, and more). You will work closely with sales, engineering, design, and product marketing to drive forward a clear, concise vision and roadmap of features that revolutionize the way our customers operate.

We believe there is immense potential to expand our platform, both with deeper integrations in existing verticals, and horizontally into brand new ones. As an APM at Merge, you will sit at the heart of the business, driving 0 —> 1 product launches that thrill our customers and shape the future of our company.

What you will do:

• Become an expert in your vertical (and you’ll probably own more than one). Proactively identify new use cases and propose new API updates, collaborating effectively across the company to ensure that your vertical’s development aligns with the company’s broader strategic goals.
• Assume end-to-end ownership of your vertical’s roadmap, using customer feedback, market research, and close collaboration with stakeholders to appropriately prioritize product features. You will be rolling up your sleeves and jumping in directly, helping build out integrations when necessary. We’re scrappy and move quickly.
• Be the loud, energetic champion of your space, communicating regular progress updates, informing the team about broader industry trends, and maintaining crisp, clear documentation of what we’ve built and why we’ve built it.
• Embrace and navigate ambiguity, driving growth forward as your vertical’s visionary owner and champion. Surface key questions to leadership, clearly articulating available options along with your recommendation when irreversible decisions are on the line. Think in tradeoffs.
• Maintain exceptionally high standards, both in your work and in the broader team’s work. Respond to inquiries, triage feature requests, and ensure effective resolution. Work closely with sales and post-sales to ensure our customers are happy.

The ideal candidate will have:

• 2+ years of experience in product management, engineering, data science, or similar technical fields.
  • A software engineering background or CS degree is a major plus
• Strong technical understanding of modern API design and data integration processes.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with impeccable attention to detail.
• Excellent analytical skills and a talent for creative problem-solving.
• Keen interest in industry trends and overall product innovation.
• Proven ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and influence decision-making.
• Passion for delivering exceptional customer experiences through efficient and reliable integrations infrastructure.
