Position OverviewDocuments are at the heart of how entertainment productions get made and how production companies pay their people — and we’re reimagining what document management can look like at scale. We’re seeking a visionary Product Manager to own our Document Management Platform and lead the charge in building its next generation. This is a rare opportunity to shape a greenfield platform from the ground up while stewarding a mission-critical capability that touches every corner of our payroll and workforce management ecosystem. You’ll work closely with Engineering, UX, Payroll Operations, and Legal to define a future where documents are intelligent, instantly accessible, and built for the compliance demands of a dynamic industry.
Core Responsibilities
Own and drive the product vision and roadmap for the Document Management Platform — setting a bold direction for next generation capabilities while ensuring the reliability and performance of current systems.
Lead the end-to-end discovery, design, and execution of a next generation document management system, guiding the architecture for document ingestion, storage, retrieval, versioning, access control, and retention at scale.
Deeply understand current document workflows across our ecosystem and use those insights to inform a smarter, more intuitive platform that eliminates friction for both internal teams and external customers.
Partner with Engineering, Data, and Architecture teams to define and deliver platform-level capabilities — including document indexing, intelligent search, metadata standards, and integration APIs.
Collaborate with Payroll Operations, Legal, and Compliance stakeholders to ensure the new platform meets evolving regulatory requirements, including audit trail integrity and records retention obligations.
Translate product vision into clear, detailed requirements and acceptance criteria that give engineering teams the confidence to build and ship quickly.
Champion a culture of continuous improvement by leveraging data, user research, and feedback loops to measure impact and accelerate iteration.
Regularly present strategy, roadmap, and results to leadership and business stakeholders, building excitement and alignment around where the platform is headed.
Key Qualifications
5+ years of product management experience, with a track record of owning complex, foundational platform products from strategy through execution.
A builder’s mindset — energized by greenfield opportunities and experienced in translating ambiguous problem spaces into clear, actionable product direction.
Domain familiarity with document management, content services, or records management in an enterprise or regulated industry context.
Strong technical fluency with the ability to engage confidently with engineering and architecture teams on platform-level decisions, including APIs, storage systems, and data models.
Understanding of compliance and regulatory requirements relevant to document retention, access control, and audit logging — experience in payroll, HR, or entertainment production industries a plus.
Proven ability to write clear, detailed product requirements and collaborate iteratively with engineering teams in an agile environment.
Exceptional communication and storytelling skills — equally comfortable in deep technical discussions and executive-level presentations.
Curiosity and enthusiasm for AI/ML capabilities such as intelligent document processing, semantic search, and generative AI, and a drive to apply them in ways that create real user value.
Thrives in fast-paced, transformation-focused environments — energized by the challenge of building what’s next while keeping today running smoothly.
