Senior Product Manager
About Slate
Slate is the workspace for modern product teams. We bring planning, documentation, and delivery into one calm place, with an intelligence layer called Atlas that understands the full state of your work and surfaces what matters before you ask. Teams use Slate to think, write, and ship together without the work scattering across a dozen tools.
About the Role
We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to own meaningful parts of Slate and help decide where the product goes next. This is a role for someone who thinks deeply about the problem, has the judgment to know what's worth building, and the discipline to keep the team focused on it. You'll work at the intersection of design, engineering, and the people who use Slate, turning shipped work into what feels coherent and considered.
You'll work in an async, globally distributed team, with regular time alongside the team from our hub in Europe. We trust you to set direction, make the call, and stay close to the work as it ships.
What you'll be responsible for
Own the strategy and roadmap for significant areas of Slate, from early problem definition through to shipped, measurable outcomes.
Decide what's worth building and, just as importantly, what isn't, keeping the team focused on the work that matters.
Partner closely with design and engineering, contributing to the craft of the product rather than managing from a distance.
Stay close to the people who use Slate, turning their needs and friction into a clear, well reasoned point of view.
Define how success is measured for your work, and use what you learn to steer the next decisions.
Help shape the broader product vision and the principles that keep Slate calm and coherent as it grows.
You might be a good fit if you
Have several years of product management experience, with a track record of shipping products that people genuinely value.
Combine strong product judgment with the rigor to back your decisions and the clarity to communicate them.
Are comfortable owning ambiguous problems end to end, from framing the question to shipping the answer.
Have worked on complex, collaborative, or technical products, or are excited to go deep on the problems they involve.
Use AI tools in your daily work to research, prototype, and move faster.
Are happy working async and independently in a distributed team, and you write clearly and persuasively.
Move fast without sacrificing craft, and you know when good enough is good enough.
