Why?
With so many companies transitioning to remote work, what we offer is more relevant than ever, and we are growing fast. Be part of amazing growth with an amazing Product team.
What?
We are looking for amazing Heads of Product to lead the company in its growth and mission. Our Heads of Product lead large portions of the business, driving tangible business objectives.

The Heads of Product will have PMs reporting to them, and will be responsible for product delivery across those sections of the business.
There are three open Heads of Product Positions:
- Head of Product, Compensation. This area oversees all things payroll & benefits, including payments and banking APIs, APIs with clients and partners, and of course operations of our pivotal payroll and benefits functions.
- Head of Product, Platform. This area supports the other teams, driving a consistent experience in both tech and UX, architecting how data drives our company, security, business intelligence and non-client-facing 3rd party integrations. This team will also be where the company's product design system is created and implemented.
- Head of Product, Client Experience. This area will create the new client-facing unified experience that brings together messaging, billing, insights & reporting, integrations with client systems, client reports and document storage.
Please specify which position you are applying for in the application.

Omnipresent makes remote teams work, and in turn we are globally remote. Your team can and should be located throughout the globe, which is an exciting opportunity to build a diverse powerful team making a global impact.
Who?
You are a strong leader and builder, have incredible drive and are naturally curious. You are especially good at detangling complex business goals and creating a team to achieve those goals. You take initiative, communicate well to drive your teams, drive projects independently, and report up clearly to the company executives.
This role reports to the VP of Product.
About Omnipresent
Remote work is one of the great equalisers of our time, allowing people to secure employment opportunities from companies around the world, no matter where they were born or where they live.

At Omnipresent, we're cutting this complexity and providing our clients, and their remote workers, with a simplified, cost effective and legally compliant employment experience. With a network of legal entities across the world, coupled with an automation-focused tech platform, we're building the premier global employment-as-a-service offering on the market.
