Sparrow is the first high-tech, high-touch employee leave management solution. Our mission is to make it simple for companies to provide their employees with all kinds of leave (i.e. family, medical, etc.).
Currently, the leave management process is painful and inefficient for everyone. Company leaders struggle to keep up with regulations and processes that change frequently, and the employees going on leave are overwhelmed by bureaucracy at an exceptionally important juncture in their career. Sparrow transforms this ordinarily tedious, error-prone, complex to remain compliant, and time-consuming process into a 30-minute end-to-end experience saving teams time (20 - 40 hours per leave) and money (up to $30K per leave).
Sparrow is headquartered in San Francisco with remote employees across the country. Sparrow is a diverse, highly talented, and supportive team. Together, we are hardworking, collaborative, smart, and humble—after all, we’re solving real problems.
We’re looking for a Senior PM to lead the strategy and execution behind how Sparrow connects with the systems that power employee benefits and payroll. You’ll own our integrations with HR information systems, payroll providers, and — in the future — state-level APIs. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in complex, partner-heavy environments and wants to build foundational infrastructure in a regulated space.
- Lead product strategy and roadmap for integrations and payroll capabilities
- Work directly with external vendors (e.g., HRIS, payroll, states), internal payroll/integrations experts, and internal engineering teams to build scalable connections
- Own product logic that supports accurate payroll deductions, benefits calculations, and reporting related to employee leaves
- Navigate regulatory and operational edge cases with support from compliance and legal partners
- Serve as a go-to expert on external data systems, partner schemas, and integration workflows
- Build foundational infrastructure for a product that affects millions of workers
- Influence our company’s payroll and integration strategies from the ground up
- Join a team during a pivotal growth moment post-Series B
- Work alongside experienced operators across product, engineering, design, operations, and compliance
- 5+ years of product management experience in B2B, fintech, benefits, healthcare, or similarly data-intensive and highly regulated fields
- Experienced in API integrations, partner/vendor relationship management, and downstream logic ownership
- Technically curious and comfortable reasoning about schemas, workflows, and exceptions
- Thrives in ambiguity and is energized by high-ownership, high-trust environments
- Excellent communicator, especially in cross-functional and partner-facing settings
- This is a full-time salaried, exempt position. Compensation ranges from $135,000-$170,000 and is based on your experience and legal state of residence.
Our work at Sparrow is impactful. We help People teams with one of the hardest parts of their job, and we support employees at a time when they need it most. We’re driven by our mission, much like a nonprofit, but with the resources and scale of a fast-growing venture-backed company.
Sparrow is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. While we are united by our excitement for the mission and product, the diversity of our experiences is one of our strengths. The Sparrow team is made up of people with all types of backgrounds, and we have teammates in 30 states and counting.
