About The Position

B Lab is seeking a Senior Product Manager of Certification who will serve as a technical product manager, translating the B Corp Certification strategy into a clear product direction and high-quality delivery. In this role, you’ll own the end-to-end product lifecycle, clarifying user needs, defining outcomes and metrics, prioritizing a transparent, value-based roadmap, and driving execution across squads, while partnering with Standards, Assurance, and Software Engineering to ensure the product experience is intuitive, compliant, and scalable.
B Lab recently launched a new version (v2.1) of the B Corp Certification standards, marking a significant evolution in how certification is defined and experienced. This role will build on the learnings from that release to iterate, improve, and strengthen the certification product over time. The Product Manager will play a key role in translating feedback from companies, auditors, and internal teams into clear priorities that continuously improve the certification experience.
You will sit at the center of strategy and execution, working closely with a core product trio (UX and Solution Architect) to lay the foundation for certification experiences and partnering with delivery squads to bring those experiences to life. This role requires systems thinking, strong collaboration, and the ability to balance long-term strategy with near-term delivery across a complex, mission-driven organization.
This is an exciting opportunity to influence one of B Lab’s most critical products and help evolve how companies engage with and experience B Corp Certification. The role will be externally facing and serve as the primary steward and representative of the B Corp product, acting as the face of the product both internally and with the broader B Corp network and partners.
