From affiliates and influencers to content publishers, brand ambassadors, and customer advocates, impact.com empowers brands to drive trusted, performance-based growth through authentic relationships. Its award-winning products Performance (affiliate), Creator (influencer), and Advocate (customer referral) unify every type of partner into one integrated platform. As consumers increasingly rely on recommendations from people and communities they trust, impact.com helps brands show up where it matters most. Today, over 5,000 global brands rely on impact.com to power millions of partnerships that deliver measurable business results.\nYour Role atimpact.com:\nWe’re hiring a technical Product Manager for the Action Processing (AP) and Contracting Squad - one of impact.com’s most foundational domains: how brands and partners define terms, commissions, lists, and contract workflows that power revenue on the platform.\nThis is a step up from associate-level execution. Ownership and delivery of value / outcomes are the core of this role: you own feature sets end-to-end, define what success looks like, and are accountable for shipped results - not only clear tickets and on-time delivery.\nYou have already made the shift to building with AI: you use agents and modern AI tooling to ship real artifacts (specs, prototypes, analyses, internal tools, personal projects). You’ll bring that operating system into a systems-heavy product domain and raise the quality and speed of requirements, tradeoffs, and delivery.\nYou’ll partner with a Senior Product Manager and Engineering with meaningful independence: you lead specs, own prioritization within your scope, and bring recommendations - not only options to escalate.\nWhat You'll Do:\nOwnership, outcomes & delivery\nOwn feature development for Action Processing (AP) and Contracting Squad initiatives (e.g. terms/commission behaviors, list and audience rules, contract workflows, and customer-driven requests).\nDefine success up front (metrics / OKRs), ship, and follow through on outcomes - adoption, quality, rework reduction, or business impact - not just output.\nWrite high-quality customer and business requirements that reduce rework and protect engineering focus.\nDevelop Markdown requirements that live adjacent to the GitHub repo (versioned next to eng context, not only in Confluence/docs silos); lead pre-spec and spec reviews and drive release prioritization. Optimize for short time from ask → usable draft → eng-ready.\nPartner with Engineering through build: surface risks early; make crisp tradeoffs under incomplete information and own the recommendation.\nTechnical product craft & AI-native building\nOperate as a technical PM in a systems-heavy domain: map system behavior, data flows, edge cases, and cross-squad dependencies with limited coaching.\nUse AI tools and agents as a core part of how you build - at work or in personal projects - to draft and pressure-test specs fast, synthesize research, prototype flows, explore edge cases, and accelerate analysis. AI should cut time to a good requirement, not inflate polish time.\nWalk through concrete AI-assisted builds you’ve shipped (prototypes, scripts, internal tools, product experiments, side projects): what you built, how agents/tools fit, what you validated, and how quickly others could react.\nRun analyses from source data and convert findings into insights, conclusions, and recommendations that drive prioritization and outcome tracking.\nSquad partnership & operational excellence\nKeep a clear, healthy backlog (ticket clarity, prioritization hygiene, meeting facilitation, and request triage).\nSequence work with Engineering leads; facilitate working sessions across Engineering, Design, Customer Success / Technical Services, and adjacent PMs.\nHold alignment touchpoints that keep priorities clear and reduce coordination drag.\nRoadmap, go-to-market & stakeholders\nShape and communicate the roadmap within your owned scope; connect near-term delivery to outcomes the business cares about.\nPartner with Product Marketing on go-to-market for your launches.\nInvolve the right stakeholders; escalate only when needed - default is a clear recommendation with tradeoffs.\nContribute to vision and strategic initiatives in the domain through owned delivery, not only input.\nHow we work\nBuild deep fluency in AP & Contracting mechanics and how they connect to the broader platform.\nBuild trusted working relationships; brainstorm constructively; participate actively in team forums.\nDemonstrate impact.com’s Operating Principles consistently (customer focus, ownership, trust, getting the right stuff done, innovate & simplify, get better every day).\nWhat You’ll Bring:\nSeveral years of product management experience (typically 3+) with evidence of independent feature ownership and delivered outcomes in a technical or systems-heavy product - not only participation on a squad.\nProven ownership mindset: you can point to features or initiatives you owned end-to-end, how you defined success, and what changed after ship (metrics, quality, adoption, or business impact).\nBackground in engineering or computer science - through degree and/or prior hands-on engineering experience.\nTechnical PM profile: you have already operated in systems-heavy domains; you dig into how systems work, map cross-squad dependencies, partner fluently with engineers, and write requirements that reflect real constraints - not only customer asks.\n AI-native building with a portfolio you can walk through (work or personal): real artifacts built with AI tools/agents (specs, prototypes, scripts, internal tools, experiments). Demonstrated habit, not an interest area.\n Fast time to value on requirements. You shape usable Markdown requirements quickly and iterate with eng and stakeholders - short cycle from ask to eng-ready draft.\nBias to execution and outcomes: you prioritize ruthlessly, close loops, and ship value - not activity.\nBusiness economics mindset: you understand how product decisions grow the business (especially GTV / monetization), not just how to ship features.\nStrong written craft in Markdown requirements that sit adjacent to the GitHub repo: specs, acceptance criteria, and lightweight PRDs engineers can use in context.\nExperience working with Customer Success, Technical Services, support, or field teams on triage and prioritization.\nComfortable running analyses from source data and converting findings into insights, conclusions, and recommendations that inform prioritization and success metrics - not only consuming dashboards or reports produced by others.\nClear judgment under incomplete information: you protect engineering focus and default to recommendations with tradeoffs, not open-ended escalation.\nComfort with complex / lightly documented systems.\nCustomer empathy for brands and partners navigating contracting, action processing, terms, and monetization workflows.\nNice To Have:\nExperience at partner platforms, affiliate/commerce infrastructure, marketplace, fintech, or SaaS monetization/contracting products - especially from competitors or adjacent products where you already know this domain.\nSalary Range: $104,500 - $123,500 per year, plus an additional 5% variable annual bonus contingent on Company performance and eligible to receive Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) grant. *This is the pay range the Company believes is equitable for this position at the time of this posting.
