Product Manager

Handle.com is a Y Combinator backed technology company that is focused on revolutionizing how money flows through the $1.5 trillion dollar US construction industry. Handle has established strong product-market fit by landing some of the largest logos in the industry. Our customers include Fortune 500 and publicly traded companies whose users make our SaaS solution an essential part of their daily workflow.

We’ve just closed our Series A funding round and are continuing to grow rapidly month over month. We’ve accomplished this with a small but mighty team, so you will still be getting in on the ground floor. In the next year, we plan to build on the success of our product suite and continue our path of innovation.

The founders are serial entrepreneurs with a proven track record (2 companies, one successful exit to LivePerson (Nasdaq: LPSN), and the other profitably operating for over 20 years). They are also experienced fundraisers that have raised over $50M from top tier firms such as Andreessen Horowitz.

Who We Are

Handle is changing how money moves through the $2 trillion U.S. construction industry. We build the tools construction participants rely on to get paid, spanning credit risk, payments, and lien rights, and bringing transparency, confidence, and control to every decision.

Our software sits in our customers' daily workflows, from Fortune 500 suppliers to publicly traded contractors, and we've found real product-market fit in a market most software has overlooked. Backed by leading financial and strategic investors in our space, we're accelerating growth and expanding from one strong product into a multi-product platform.

About the Role

We're hiring a Product Manager to be a foundational early member of our product team and take a new product from zero to launch. This is hands-on and high-ownership: you'll own the work end to end, from discovery and customer research through requirements, delivery, and iteration, partnering closely with engineering and go-to-market along the way. You'll turn ambiguous problems into shipped product and help set the bar for how we build. If you're energized by early-stage, 0-to-1 work and want to own an outcome rather than a backlog, we'd like to hear from you.

What You'll Do

• Take a new product from zero to one. Own the direction, the scope, and the outcome, from first concept through launch and the iterations after it.
• Live close to the customer. Run discovery with suppliers, contractors, and prospects, and turn what you hear into a sharp point of view on what to build and why.
• Get hands dirty. Scope, draft, design, and prototype the product yourself, putting working concepts in front of customers and engineering rather than handing off documents.
• Make the calls. Turn that point of view into detailed technical requirements your engineering team can build from, a prioritized roadmap, and clear decisions about what ships now versus later
• Ship and iterate with your pod. Partner tightly with a small, dedicated engineering team to get to production fast, then measure, learn, and improve what is live.
• Keep everyone aligned. Bring engineering, design, and leadership along with clear, frequent updates on progress, risks, and decisions.

What You'll Bring

Required

• Three to five years in product management, including time in a fast-paced startup environment.
• Technical fluency to write detailed requirements and partner closely with engineering to ship high-impact products.
• Strong understanding of the B2B fintech and payments value chain, with the judgment to turn it into prioritization decisions.
• Fluency with AI tools across your work, from drafting and pressure-testing PRDs to competitive and domain research to front-end prototyping.
• Strong customer empathy and a track record of working directly with customers and prospects to scope and design products.
• High agency and sound product judgment; you form and defend a point of view, not just execute a backlog.

Preferred

• Prior experience building a new product from scratch.
• Background in credit/lending, order-to-cash, or B2B fintech.
• Construction or fintech industry experience.

Why Join Us

We’re building something ambitious from the ground up - with a small, smart, and highly collaborative team. You’ll get to shape core architecture, make big technical decisions, and see your work directly impact how our customers interact with our platform.

• Opportunity to work with a dynamic and innovative team.
• Professional growth and development opportunities.
• Collaborative and supportive work environment.
• Company-funded health benefit options (Medical, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance)
• 100% Paid Parental Leave
• Unlimited PTO
• Home office stipend for the equipment you prefer
• Company equity in a fast-growing Series B company
• And more

Handle is adding a new product line. You will lead its development and build the MVP. We have a unique spin on this concept which makes it interesting but will not go into more detail here on this public job post.

1. It’s a new product. You get to architect it. You don’t have to clean up an existing codebase.
2. You’ll be one of the first five engineering hires in the company and report to a co-founder/CTO.
3. It’s a hybrid role, you’ll need to talk to customers to learn about the pitfalls of their current solution and research how to solve several challenges. At the same time, you’ll need to get the MVP done primarily on your own.
4. You will get to hire additional developers for this project.

Requirements:

• 5+ years professional programming experience
• Ability to split time between an individual contributor role and product manager role
• Ability to present well to customers
