What you’ll do

• Lead and execute end-to-end delivery of high-priority product programs across different teams within Checkr, from early access with external customers through GA exit criteria and post-launch follow-through

• Run the quarterly and annual product planning cadence with Product, Design, and Engineering leadership

• Define, track, and report on product KPIs, operational metrics, and SLAs alongside product managers, engineers, and data scientists

• Build agentic workflows and processes using tools like Claude Skills and Cowork to raise engineering velocity and launch quality

• Own cross-departmental initiatives without a single owner, such as internal tool rollouts and PRD templates, and turn launch retros into better defaults

• Track record of leading complex, cross-functional launches or multi-quarter programs from strategy through rollout and adoption

• Familiarity with enterprise B2B SaaS, phased rollouts, or compliance-driven environments (FCRA, EEOC, GDPR, CCPA) is a plus

• An A-player mindset with a strong bias for action: you raise the bar, move with urgency, stay resilient through ambiguity, and take ownership to deliver meaningful outcomes
