    Highlights

    This is a player-coach role reporting directly to the CEO: you will set product strategy alongside the founders, lead and grow a unified team of PMs and designers, and stay hands-on enough to prototype, critique, and ship. Define the interaction model for agentic software: how users hand work to EMMA, watch it happen, and come away feeling the product is magical rather than opaque.

    About Niural

    Niural is the AI-native global PEO for the modern workforce. Our mission is to give every growing company enterprise-grade payroll, benefits, and compliance without the enterprise overhead. Built from scratch rather than retrofitted onto legacy systems, Niural combines payroll, PEO/ASO, global EOR, benefits, and vendor payments into one intelligent platform. Powered by EMMA, our AI coworker that executes — not just advises — Niural runs payroll and compliance across 150+ countries with near-perfect accuracy. Backed by a $52M Series A and $200M+ in annualized gross revenue on our PEO product alone, we're building the financial infrastructure that companies run their businesses on.

    About the role

    We are hiring a Director of Product to own the end-to-end product experience at Niural. This is a player-coach role reporting directly to the CEO: you will set product strategy alongside the founders, lead and grow a unified team of PMs and designers, and stay hands-on enough to prototype, critique, and ship.

    What you will do

    • Own the product vision and roadmap across payroll, PEO/EOR, benefits, and payments as a single, coherent experience

    • Set the taste bar for the company: every screen, every interaction, every word in the product reflects your standard

    • Define the interaction model for agentic software: how users hand work to EMMA, watch it happen, and come away feeling the product is magical rather than opaque

    • Use AI-native building as your default workflow: prototype in hours, test with real users in days, and expect the same velocity from your team

    • Lead, hire, and develop a unified product and design team where PMs have design sensibility and designers think in product outcomes

    • Run tight discovery loops with customers, from founder-led startups to enterprise HR and finance leaders, and turn insight into shipped product

    • Partner closely with engineering on prioritization and quality; make tradeoffs explicit and decisions fast

    • Own delight and correctness together, including the edge cases in tax, compliance, and money movement where the details are the product

    • Contribute to the company narrative: your work will show up in fundraising, sales, and how the market understands AI-native payroll

    What we are looking for

    • 5+ years across product management, with 2+ years leading teams; you have shipped complex B2B or fintech products at scale

    • True dual fluency, not adjacency: you can pressure-test a PRD and give a substantive design critique in the same meeting, because to you they are the same conversation

    • Demonstrated taste: a portfolio or shipped work that makes people say "this feels different," even in an unglamorous domain

    • You build with AI daily. You have shipped or prototyped with modern AI tools and believe the leverage they create raises the standard for craft rather than lowering it

    • Strong opinions about what makes agentic and LLM-powered products feel trustworthy and magical rather than gimmicky

    • Experience in payroll, HR tech, fintech, payments, or another regulated, correctness-critical domain is a strong plus

    • Comfort operating with ambiguity, owning outcomes, and communicating crisply with founders, customers, and investors

    • Track record of hiring people with taste and helping them get better

    Nice to have

    • Founding design or founding product experience at an earlier-stage company

    • Global product experience (localization, multi-country compliance, cross-border payments)

    • Enterprise and SMB dual-audience experience
