Job Description

\n Our Purpose\n

Here at Datacom we connect people and technology in order to solve challenges, create opportunities and discover new possibilities for the communities we live in.

About the Role\n

Join a fast-growth payroll SaaS leader where you will own the vision and execution of our data and integration platforms, translating complex payroll challenges into scalable, value-driven solutions for customers and their employees. You'll shape the platform strategy, set ambitious roadmaps, and mentor a cohort of product managers while representing the product at the executive table. In this senior role you'll drive end-to-end ownership, from discovery to commercialization and continuous improvement, balancing strategic bets with hands‑on delivery in a data‑rich, API-driven environment. Expect to unite engineering, design, marketing, customer success and sales around a shared vision, champion a servant leadership culture, and deliver outcomes that accelerate adoption and revenue growth. The ideal candidate has a proven track record delivering data or platform products in SaaS, ideally in payroll/HR data; exceptional executive communication; a data-driven, outcomes-focused mindset; and the ability to influence across multidisciplinary teams. This is your chance to shape platform strategy, accelerate your leadership career, and make a tangible difference in the way organisations pay and empower their people.

• Partner with Go‑to‑Market, Professional Services and Customer Success teams to drive platform adoption and ensure customers realise full value
\n
• Facilitate discovery, prioritisation and alignment sessions with diverse stakeholder groups including customers, partners and internal teams

• Mentor and support the development of product managers within the team
\n
• Set clear expectations for product management standards, practices and behaviours
\n
• Foster a high-performance team culture that values curiosity, collaboration, customer empathy and continuous learning
