About Dayforce

Dayforce is a global human capital management (HCM) company headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, and Minneapolis, Minnesota, with operations across North America, Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA), and the Asia Pacific Japan (APJ) region.

Our award-winning Cloud HCM platform offers a unified solution database and continuous calculation engine, driving efficiency, productivity and compliance for the global workforce.

Our brand promise - Makes Work Life Better™ - Reflects our commitment to employees, customers, partners and communities globally.

About the Opportunity

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.

What You’ll Get to Do

• Own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for Dayforce Engagement end to end
• Deeply understand the needs of HR leaders, people managers, and employees through research, data analysis, and direct customer engagement
• Leverage modern AI tools to accelerate product discovery, validation, and prototyping, rapidly testing ideas and iterating on solutions before a line of code is written
• 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
• Balance configurability and simplicity to support diverse customer models across industries, organization sizes, and geographies
• Prioritize initiatives using data, experimentation, and business impact
• Collaborate with go-to-market teams to ensure successful adoption and measurable value realization for customers
• Operate with confidence in a fast-paced, enterprise SaaS environment with complex workflows and high customer expectations

Skills and Experience We Value

• 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

What Would Make You Really Stand Out

• 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
