Product Manager

Handle is a technology company building software for the U.S. construction industry across credit risk, payments, and lien rights. The Product Manager will be a foundational product team member responsible for taking a new product from discovery and customer research through launch, delivery, and iteration. The role partners closely with engineering, design, leadership, and go-to-market teams to define requirements, prioritize the roadmap, and ship customer-focused products.

Responsibilities:

• Take a new product from zero to one. Own the direction, the scope, and the outcome, from first concept through launch and the iterations after it
• Live close to the customer. Run discovery with suppliers, contractors, and prospects, and turn what you hear into a sharp point of view on what to build and why
• Get hands dirty. Scope, draft, design, and prototype the product yourself, putting working concepts in front of customers and engineering rather than handing off documents
• Make the calls. Turn that point of view into detailed technical requirements your engineering team can build from, a prioritized roadmap, and clear decisions about what ships now versus later
• Ship and iterate with your pod. Partner tightly with a small, dedicated engineering team to get to production fast, then measure, learn, and improve what is live
• Keep everyone aligned. Bring engineering, design, and leadership along with clear, frequent updates on progress, risks, and decisions

Requirements:

• Three to five years in product management, including time in a fast-paced startup environment
• Technical fluency to write detailed requirements and partner closely with engineering to ship high-impact products
• Strong understanding of the B2B fintech and payments value chain, with the judgment to turn it into prioritization decisions
• Fluency with AI tools across your work, from drafting and pressure-testing PRDs to competitive and domain research to front-end prototyping
• Strong customer empathy and a track record of working directly with customers and prospects to scope and design products
• High agency and sound product judgment; you form and defend a point of view, not just execute a backlog
• Prior experience building a new product from scratch
• Background in credit/lending, order-to-cash, or B2B fintech
• Construction or fintech industry experience
