Hi, I’m Geo, Ashby’s VP of Product. I joined Ashby August ‘26; read more about why I joined here. I’m hiring for multiple Product Managers who will report directly to me. More on the specific product areas below. At Ashby, we have a unique approach to building products . As a PM, your primary goal is to eliminate frustration and bring delight to our customers. You’ll work with engineers who deeply understand the customer and business problem and own the solution end-to-end. This means that you spend less time writing detailed specs and more time with customers and doing deep product thinking. Our unique approach is working. We’re growing >100% year over year and have notable customers such as Notion, Linear, OpenAI, Shopify, and Snowflake. Our growth and retention metrics are best in class among our peers. We’re backed by amazing investors like Y Combinator, Elad Gil, Lachy Groom, and many more!
From day one, we have aimed to build "all-in-one and best-in-class" software for Talent teams. In addition to building a multi-product foundation from day one, we have also focused on enabling customizability and power-user features while keeping Ashby easy to get started with. Doing both is an ambitious undertaking! We want to continue down this ambitious path in future and add multiple new products, which means we:
We also want to continuously delight users. We hear "I never thought one could fall in love with an ATS" quite often, and we want to keep that true for all future products we build. We are looking for Product Managers who can own the roadmap and strategy for the following areas:
During the interview process, we’ll determine which role you're best suited for. We’re also advertising this opening as Senior Product Manager . Both titles describe the same position; please apply once using the title that best reflects your experience.
At Ashby, the role of Product Managers is different from what I’ve seen in most product orgs. At a high level, PMs are responsible for shipping impactful product changes at high velocity, consistently and over an extended period. When we think about impactful product changes, our primary goal is to remove frustration and add delight. At many organizations, PMs are required to write detailed specs that handle every edge case. Designers are required to mock up every pixel. At Ashby, it’s different. We believe individual contributors do their best work when they have a deep understanding of the end user and the business, and ownership of the solution. This is reflected in the engineers Ashby hires: they own projects end-to-end and deeply understand the problems they are solving. PMs are expected to give significant white space in their specs. As a result, PMs can spend less time managing tickets and more time with customers and thinking deeply about the product strategy. At Ashby, PMs need to be the pace-setters for their product areas. This means they bring a healthy level of impatience and time-paranoia to the table. This does not mean cutting corners or demanding that engineers work unreasonable hours. As a PM, you can help engineers by managing the project scope well, identifying when it’s appropriate to bring in help, or being ruthless about prioritization. For PM roles at Ashby, we believe great products are built through deep thinking and a clear understanding of user needs. A major part of your role involves conducting thorough user research to uncover underlying customer problems and translating those insights into well-reasoned product strategies. Finally, Ashby isn’t simply an ATS. Right from the foundations, it was designed to be much more than that. It’s a platform modelled around how organizations (from early-stage startups to massive enterprises) think about recruiting, managing, and retaining top talent. As a PM at Ashby, you should, over time, get familiar with our most common building blocks. You’ll invest not only in product improvements but in platform thinking.
If this also sounds exciting to you, please apply. We review every application and aim to get back to candidates within 2-3 days. For candidates that advance to the interview process, here is what you can expect:
