Boulevard is a client experience platform designed for appointment-based self-care businesses, aiming to empower customers through innovative technology. As a Staff Product Manager for Shared Services, you will own the foundational platform that supports all Boulevard products, focusing on enterprise readiness, developer experience, and establishing success metrics.
Responsibilities:
- Drive Enterprise Readiness: Boulevard's upmarket ambitions depend on granular permissions, comprehensive audit trails, and identity infrastructure that enterprise customers trust. You'll own the decisions that get us there — working closely with sales and solutions engineering to understand what's blocking deals and building the capabilities that remove those blockers for good
- Be the Connective Tissue: Every product team at Boulevard builds on what Shared Services owns. You'll develop a deep understanding of their needs and shape the platform to let them move faster — without requiring them to reinvent auth, eventing, compliance, or AI infrastructure on their own. Developer experience is a core product responsibility here
- Define and Measure Success: You'll establish the metrics that matter for a platform team — reliability, developer velocity, internal platform adoption, and enterprise capability delivery — and use that signal to sharpen the roadmap over time
- Own the Roadmap: Your roadmap will reflect both near-term business impact and long-term architectural integrity. You'll make build-versus-buy decisions across the stack with a clear view of what gives Boulevard the most leverage. And you'll take customer-facing capabilities like audit logging and permissions all the way through launch — including pricing, packaging, and go-to-market
Requirements:
- Platform PM experience: 8–10 years in product management, significant time at Staff or Principal level owning shared services (auth, permissions, audit logging, eventing, or similar) that other teams build on
- Technical fluency: You can discuss authentication protocols, event-driven architectures, GraphQL, and access control models without engineers translating — and you hold your own in architecture reviews
- Enterprise execution: You've translated enterprise requirements into platform decisions that move deals, and you know how to build security, access control, and compliance capabilities that become a genuine competitive advantage
- AI platform depth: You've built or contributed to foundational AI infrastructure in a SaaS environment — agent authentication, rate limiting, audit logging for AI workflows, or similar primitives
- Metrics mindset: You define what success looks like for infrastructure — tracking developer velocity, platform adoption, reliability, and enterprise capability delivery — and use those signals to sharpen the roadmap
- Cross-functional leadership: You influence work across many teams, maintain shared vision and roadmap coherence, and create alignment that compounds rather than requiring constant re-negotiation
- Experience with enterprise security and compliance frameworks (SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI) and how they translate into platform requirements
- Fluency with AI tools as part of your own practice — using them to accelerate discovery, sharpen tradeoff analysis, or communicate complex technical decisions
- Experience in vertical SaaS, services-industry platforms, or multi-tenant B2B environments
