Our team’s focus is to create world-class experiences for our customers.

As a Product Manager for TaxJar you will:
- Drive product development through the entire development cycle, from conceptualization, design and development, through to launch and ongoing support in a fast-paced, agile environment
- Develop a deep empathy for the needs and desires of ecommerce merchants, developers, and CPA’s that have sales tax liabilities.
- Analyze data to help make better product decisions and always be fine tuning our product strategy and roadmap
- Balance business needs versus technical decisions and constraints

- Strong interpersonal skills; you will need to develop strong relationships with researchers, developers, customer success, sales, marketing, and partners
- Self-directed, self-motivated, and an evangelizer of action within the organization; TaxJar’s remote culture empowers self-starters, but fosters growth with coaching and support
- Superior attention to detail, with strong process and writing skills
- Excel at communicating with a team remotely (Basecamp, chat, zoom, email, etc.)
- Sales tax knowledge is not required, but you must have a proven ability to quickly learn a complex domain
