About the role
Oyster is a global employment platform that lets companies hire, pay, and care for brilliant people anywhere. Distributed across 60+ countries since 2020, Oyster is the only B Corp-certified global employment platform.
As Senior Director of Product for the Employer of Record offering, you will own the product vision, strategy and execution across the full EOR employment lifecycle, from onboarding and documentation through time off, benefits, pay and offboarding.
As part of Oyster's senior leadership team, you will shape strategy beyond your own teams, set direction across multiple product development teams and lead through real change.
What you'll do
- Own the product vision, strategy and roadmap for EOR, and connect team-level work to company outcomes.
- Be accountable for the end-to-end performance of the platform, including the downstream operational reality, not only what ships.
- Turn highly localised, complex regulation into scalable, automated workflows rather than manual workarounds held together by operations teams.
- Prioritise across new capability, regulatory requirements, technical debt and operational improvement, across several teams at once.
- Coach and grow a team of product managers and group product managers, moving them from delivering features to owning problems and outcomes.
- Partner with Engineering and Design leadership as a real counterpart, holding proper tension on trade-offs without dominating or giving in too easily.
- Partner with Operations, Legal and Finance to shape where this business goes, including the margin and risk picture.
- Build an AI-first way of working in the product organisation: how we discover, prototype and learn, not just what we ship.
What they're looking for
- 10+ years in product management, including 5 to 7 years leading other product managers, with measurable business and customer outcomes.
- Experience in operationally or legally complex B2B or Fintech.
- A systems thinker who starts from first principles and diagnoses before proposing.
- Hands-on experience using AI to change how your team works, not only what it ships.
- Able to set product vision at business-unit level and generate real buy-in when priorities shift.
- Proven people leadership: coaching product managers into leaders, holding a clear bar, having the difficult conversation early.
- Experience leading through structural change, and comfort with ambiguity as an opportunity rather than a risk.
- Communication strong enough to influence senior stakeholders, backed by a mechanism that turns agreement into delivery.
- A reliable home internet connection, or be able to get one.
- Fluent English language skills.
Nice to have
- HR tech, EOR, payroll or compliance experience is ideal, though the complexity matters more than the sector.

The hot takeJeff's read on Oyster
When I say I'm looking for perfect clarity from a company on their remote policy, Oyster sets the standard. They allow you to work from anywhere (including a beach), but make it clear if certain roles require specific timezones in order to align with the company. The are under no delusions that employees have lives outside of work and need to thrive there AS WELL as in front of the laptop to do well in life. Further, they give employees 40 days of PTO per year, which I actually PREFER to unlimited PTO. Oyster is a no-doubter for me.
