The Role

We’re hiring a Senior Product Manager to own the strategy and roadmap for SubBase’s Core Product. This is the foundation of our platform—the place where customer pain points, workflow friction, and UI simplicity converge. In this role, you’ll lead the development of scalable, user-friendly solutions that feel purpose-built, yet generalized enough to work for a range of company sizes and operational models.

You’ll thrive in this role if you bring exceptional customer empathy, a strong sense of product design and usability, and a data-driven approach to decision-making. You will partner directly with our customers, internal teams, and executive leadership to deeply understand the construction procurement lifecycle, identify product opportunities, and deliver elegant, high-utility solutions that drive measurable impact. Expect travel between 5–10 days per quarter for discovery sessions, implementation support, and internal team planning.
