Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This Forward Deployed Product Manager role sits at a SaaS platform layer where the product is an API and the “implementation” is the customer’s shipped experience. It is notable in the ecosystem because it blends classic product thinking with the realities of regulated infrastructure, translating telecom constraints into workflows that fintech, HR, and other software businesses can embed inside their own offerings.
For a SaaS career, the long-term value is the repeated exposure to how platform products scale through partners. The work builds fluency in integration patterns, onboarding mechanics, and the feedback loop between customer launches and the product roadmap. Because the role touches Customer Success, Product, Engineering, and Growth, it also develops the cross-functional judgement that becomes increasingly important in platform and product-led organizations.
This position tends to suit professionals who like being close to delivery and outcomes rather than staying purely in strategy. It fits someone comfortable moving between technical details, stakeholder alignment, and commercial context, and who enjoys operating as the connective tissue during complex launches. It is also a strong match for those who prefer in-person collaboration, given the expectation of regular time in a hub and occasional travel.

Job Description
About Gigs
At Gigs, we're building the operating system for mobile services—a platform that lets tech companies embed global connectivity into their products effortlessly.
Just as Stripe lets any business add a payment button in seconds, Gigs empowers platforms to weave in connectivity—bridging the traditional world of telecom with modern tech. From fintechs launching mobile services to HR platforms offering work phone plans, we automate provisioning and remove telecom complexity.
Our team of around 150 people across the US and Europe, backed by nearly $100 million in funding from Ribbit Capital, Google, and Y Combinator. As one of the fastest-growing tech companies, bringing together early-stage engineers, product builders, and business athletes from companies like Stripe, Airbnb, and Shopify. We’re tackling deep technical and regulatory challenges to make connectivity truly seamless.
If you’re driven by curiosity, creativity, and the chance to shape the future of telecom, we’d love to hear from you.
Things We Care About
We are building in a highly complex space and tackling a massive problem. We want people who lean in when things get hard.
- Speed. We move and we ship. We set bold deadlines and treat every week like it matters.
- Ownership. If you see something broken, fix it. We don't wait for permission.
- Customer Obsession. Our customers' product is our product.
- Ambiguity. We're building frontier technology in a complex domain. You'll need sound judgement and good instincts to make decisions without complete information.
- First principles. We don't ask how things have been done before. We ask why they were done that way at all.
The Role
An Forward Deployed Product Manager is our customers’ technical partner at Gigs. You will help customers plan, coordinate and successfully launch integrations using the Gigs API.
The role is a unique blend of the technical, strategic and operational. Work can range from partnering with Product on a critical feature blocking a strategic onboarding, to scoping, coordinating, and driving an API implementation over multiple geographies with one of the world’s largest Fintechs.
Implementation sits within Customer Success at Gigs but the role lies at the heart of Gigs’ different functions. You will work closely with Product and Engineering, working together to scope new features and provide on-going feedback. But you will also be heavily involved with Growth: working in tandem with the Business Development team for new implementations and being the main point of contact with our largest customers as they do further development.
What you’ll do
- Deliver customer implementations. You will act as an owner, treating each API integration as a unique proposition and carefully scoping and delivering the perfect implementation for a specific customer’s use case. You will work step by step with the customer to ensure that they are including the right feature set, API endpoints, and wireframes for success.
- Key technical contact. You’ll work with our customer’s engineering and product teams as they integrate and continue to develop with Gigs, and advise them on the best implementation path.
- User flow advisor. You will be the subject matter expert when it comes to the UX/UI the customer builds, and specific endpoints that are required to build out a best in class user experience.
- Project management. You have experience with and are a super user of Smartsheets, Asana, Linear, or another type of project management tool. You will own a portfolio of complex, critical implementations and projects, and will shape roadmaps, define key milestones, and track progress to ensure successful execution ahead of the deadline.
- Cross-functional coordination: You will ensure alignment across Business Development, Marketing, Product, and Engineering teams, driving them toward a shared vision. By setting clear goals and building cross-functional roadmaps, you will keep all stakeholders focused, coordinated, and executing efficiently.
- Product Management. We’re creating a completely new product, so you will need to spot when a new feature could help unlock a use case and be comfortable working with product and engineering to make it a reality.
- Commercial Strategy: Understand the commercial fundamentals of each implementation and work to ensure they are delivered successfully. Deeply understand what characterises a high conversion user flow and help our customers successfully implement it.
What we are looking for
- You are an implementation powerhouse: You have 5+ years of experience in Implementation, Professional Services, or Product Management at a B2B or SaaS tech company. Your expertise lies in working with high-growth, product-led technology companies, ideally in FinTech or HR. You’ve worked on complex API integrations and you know exactly how to execute them successfully.
- You have exceptional project management skills: Juggling multiple high-priority projects is second nature to you, thanks to your outstanding organizational skills and ability to maintain clarity in chaotic situations. You are organized and are a champion at pushing customer projects forward.
- You balance a technical, product, and commercial mindset: You have a strong technical aptitude with the ability to understand and influence product development, and a deep understanding of API’s and webhooks. Additionally, your business acumen shows you have the ability to onboard into complex, operationally intensive industries, and ensures well-rounded decision-making.
- You are a master of communication: Your written and verbal communication skills are exceptional, allowing you to convey complex ideas effectively and engage with diverse stakeholders. You are able to persuade C-level executives at leading tech-enabled businesses.
- You are proactive, creative, and hands-on: You take the initiative to tackle challenges, bring creativity to your work, and consistently think ahead in a fast-paced environment. You are not afraid to roll-up your sleeves and execute when needed, and you’re not afraid to think out of the box. You are comfortable creating processes, playbooks, and assets from scratch.
Salary Range: $200,000 - $250,000
(The final offer depends on your background, skills, and how you perform through the process. We're open to considering outlier candidates, which may result in an adjustment to the scope and compensation)
