About the role

The Fulfillment team plays a critical role in delivering a seamless benefits experience by building and maintaining the integrations that connect Justworks with external insurance carriers and benefits systems. We develop scalable, reliable solutions that streamline benefits enrollment, improve operational efficiency, and enable accurate data exchange across complex systems. Our work powers the infrastructure behind our benefits offerings, helping ensure that customers and internal teams can confidently manage benefits administration.

As a Product Manager of Fulfillment, you’ll play a high-impact role by driving the roadmap of a team core to the delivery of our mission. You’ll focus on defining and prioritizing initiatives that improve carrier integrations, strengthen our benefits infrastructure, and enable more efficient internal operations. You'll work closely with engineering and operations teams to translate complex technical and business needs into well-scoped solutions, balancing immediate operational priorities with long-term platform scalability.

As a champion for your team’s focus and productivity, you’ll establish clear priorities, manage scope, and remove obstacles to ensure maximum, high-quality output that aligns with Justworks’ business objectives. You will operate independently within your scope, develop a deep understanding of our technical integrations and operational workflows, and clearly articulate the reasoning behind your decisions to your peers and cross-functional stakeholders.
