Respaid (S23), AI-fintech, we do respectful B2B debt collection for U.S. mid-market and enterprise (Amazon, DoorDash, Uber Freight…). We’re 30 around the world.
We run entirely on Linear and are looking for a full-time Product Manager who already lives in the tool and can turn messy backlogs into clear, data-driven roadmaps.
What you’ll do
• Design and maintain a best-in-class Linear workspace (initiative, projects, labels, cycles, AI triage, dashboards).
• Translate customer insights and strategic goals into well-scoped, clearly written issues that engineers love to pick up.
• Automate busywork via Zapier/n8n (bonus), webhooks, and Slack so the team can focus on shipping.
• Own metrics: cycle time, velocity, and any AI-powered insights that keep us ahead.
• Partner with founders to prioritise and slice work for speed without sacrificing quality.
Why this role
• Green-field opportunity—no legacy Jira, no politics. You design the playbook, then run it.
• AI-native company with a bias for automation and measurable outcomes.
• Direct access to the CEO; decisions happen in hours, not weeks.
Must-have experience
• 3+ years as Product Manager or Product Ops in SaaS.
• Daily hands-on use of Linear (not just evaluating—building and maintaining workspaces).
• Comfortable defining and interpreting product-health metrics.
• Excellent written English; async first.
Nice-to-have
• Fluent with Zapier or n8n, plus basic API/webhook literacy (bonus)
• Previous fintech, payments, or collections domain exposure.
• Experience with Linear AI (Agents, issue summarisation) or similar LLM workflows.
• Familiarity with Slack Bot or lightweight scripting.
Engagement structure
• Onboarding sprint to migrate and clean ~100 existing issues.
• Then steady cadence of planning, backlog grooming, and roadmap delivery.
Hiring process
Day 0 – brief intro call (15 min).
Day 1 – paid 1-hour sandbox (build a mini Linear workspace, show a Slack DM automation, present a dashboard).
Day 2 – offer decision.
We move fast—expect the full process to complete in under 72 hours.
