Product Manager, Engagement

Dayforce

About The Position

Dayforce Engagement helps organizations listen to their people, understand what drives them, and take the right actions to build cultures where employees thrive. As part of our unified HCM platform, Engagement connects the full employee lifecycle, giving HR leaders and managers the continuous intelligence they need to retain talent, surface risk early, and create meaningful change. We’re looking for a passionate, user-obsessed Product Manager to own the Dayforce Engagement product. This role is ideal for someone who believes that great listening programs should drive action, not just produce dashboards, and who is energized by translating employee voice into tangible organizational outcomes. You’ll own the full Engagement product: vision, strategy, roadmap, and execution. You’ll shape how organizations collect, interpret, and act on employee feedback at scale, and you’ll collaborate cross-functionally with Engineering, Design, Sales, Customer teams, and partners to deliver scalable, intuitive solutions that turn data into decision-making. This is also a role for someone who has genuinely embraced an AI-powered way of working. We’re looking for a PM who uses AI tools daily, not as a novelty but as a core part of how they research, prototype, synthesize, and decide. If you’ve rebuilt your workflow around AI-assisted discovery and are excited to help define what that looks like for an enterprise product team, you’ll thrive here.

Requirements

Deep user empathy across multiple personas, with comfort conducting research, synthesizing signal, and advocating for users across the org
Strong product discovery skills, with comfort using user research, experimentation, and data to inform decisions rather than assumptions
Demonstrated experience leveraging AI tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Cursor, or similar) to accelerate research, synthesis, prototyping, and decision-making as a core part of your daily workflow
Experience applying continuous discovery frameworks to drive ongoing product improvement
Ability to simplify complexity by translating nuanced organizational dynamics and HR workflows into clear, intuitive product experiences
Experience working in enterprise SaaS products with configurable workflows, multi-tenant architectures, and third-party integrations
Proven cross-functional leadership across Engineering, Design, Sales, Customer Support, Customer Success, and Operations
Strong systems thinking, with the ability to connect Engagement to the broader Talent and HCM ecosystem (performance, succession, learning, compensation)
Data fluency, with comfort working with product analytics, usage data, and experimentation frameworks to drive evidence-based decisions
Proficiency in English is required for this position as this role will regularly interact with English-speaking stakeholders, co-workers, managers and/or clients across the world. Further, our back office support teams, including but not limited to Human Resources, are primarily English speaking. Employees need to be able to communicate with these departments in English to appropriately administer their business relationship. Due to the significant high volume of interactions with these English-speaking co-workers, managers, stakeholders and/or clients, which is inherent to this position, it is not possible to reorganize the company's activities to avoid this requirement.

Nice To Haves

Experience with employee listening platforms, engagement survey tools, or employee experience software (e.g., Qualtrics, Glint, Peakon, Culture Amp)
Familiarity with HR analytics, workforce intelligence, or people data platforms
Experience building or shipping AI-powered product features, not just using AI in your workflow but embedding it into the product itself
Thrives in fast-paced environments with evolving customer needs, shifting priorities, and ambitious timelines
Experience with feedback-to-action workflows, including how organizations close the loop between employee signal and manager/HR response

Apply continuous discovery practices to consistently identify, validate, and prioritize the highest-impact opportunities
Build intuitive, efficient workflows that help organizations move from insight to action, not just collect feedback
Partner with Engineering and Design to translate complex requirements into scalable, high-quality solutions

Prioritize initiatives using data, experimentation, and business impact
Collaborate with go-to-market teams to ensure successful adoption and measurable value realization for customers
