Principal Product Manager - WFM

Moorepay is building a Platform for Workforce Operations - a single system on which Payroll, HR and Workforce Management run on one data model, one workflow engine and one experience. Payroll and HR are the first capabilities on that foundation. Workforce Management (“WFM”) is the next - and we’re hiring the person who will own its vision, strategy and roadmap ahead of the build phase.

This is a rare opportunity to shape a strategic capability from first principles: the commercial thinking, the customer problems, the product direction, and the roadmap that a dedicated delivery team will build against. It is the kind of product work most people only get to read about.

The Opportunity

We run an AI-first product and engineering operating model. Product strategy is set at the top and delivered by small, autonomous, cross-functional AI Pods - Engineering, QA, UX and Product - each accountable for measurable outcomes rather than feature output.

As the Managing Principal Product Manager for WFM, you own the strategic layer. You are accountable for the vision, the commercial case, the requirements and the roadmap, rather than the mechanics of delivery. Your job is to undertake the discovery and market analysis, decide what gets built and why it matters; the pods turn your prioritised workstreams into a working product. The clarity of your strategy and your briefs will be critical to our success.

WFM covers the operational rhythm of the workforce - scheduling, time and attendance, and absence - for the manufacturing, logistics, retail and professional-services employers Moorepay serves, many of them running mobile, shift-based and deskless teams. It is the capability that extends the platform from managing people to running workforce operations in the fullest sense.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the WFM strategy - Define the product strategy and narrative for WFM: the market context, the customer problems, the product vision and the strategic direction for the capability.
• Own the commercial case - Build and defend the commercial rationale, value proposition and business case for WFM. Understand the mid-market buyer, the competitive landscape, and where the value is - and let that shape the roadmap.
• Set outcome-based OKRs - Work with the Chief Product Officer to translate the strategy into measurable outcome commitments anchored to strategic themes, not feature lists.
• Own and sequence the roadmap - Order WFM workstreams by value and sequencing logic and match them to pods. The prioritised backlog is your primary control mechanism - pods pull from it; they do not define it.
• Scope workstreams for delivery - Author the workstream briefs that hand work to the pods: what is being delivered, what is in and out of scope, the target outcome, and the open questions. Delivery sits with the pod; the precision of the brief is yours.
