Meadow is a modern payments platform transforming the $600 billion higher education payments industry. The company is building for universities what Shopify built for retail, bringing the entire student financial experience online. As a Senior Product Manager, you will embed within a Product Engineering pod to own its roadmap, run discovery with schools, and decide what to build and why. You'll work alongside Product, Design, and Engineering from early-stage discovery conversations with Student Accounts offices at partner schools, shaping solutions from day one. Key responsibilities include: - Owning your pod's roadmap and prioritizing work against strategic business goals - Serving as the voice of your pod across the company, ensuring CX, Sales, and Leadership understand what you're building, why, and when it ships - Building relationships with Student Accounts offices at partner schools, meeting regularly, and shipping products they plan to adopt - Running discovery, defining scope, and writing clear specs for designers and engineers - Exploring where AI agents can replace or augment traditional workflows for schools and students - Defining success metrics upfront and using data to report on project impact - Shipping multiple high-impact products within the first six months The role is particularly interesting because it combines traditional product management with emerging AI/agentic paradigms. You'll work with LLMs and MCPs, building Meadow's own agents and connectors. Projects range from traditional checkout UX on point-of-sale devices to agent orchestration and live trace analysis of billing support agents. This is a full-time position reporting to the Chief Product Officer. Meadow is remote-friendly with offices in New York and San Mateo, but the CPO and Senior Product Designer work in-person 3-5+ days per week from the New York office, and the company welcomes candidates interested in working alongside them.
