🚀 About Pulley

Pulley's mission is to make it easier for anyone to start a company. We believe that more startups should exist and that founder-led companies are more successful in the long term. With Pulley’s cap table management tools, companies can better understand and optimize their equity for the long term. Starting a company is hard enough. Managing equity shouldn’t be. 

We’re a high-performing team looking for passionate, execution-focused, self-starters to help us build equity management tools for founders. Pulley works with over 3,000 customers, including companies like Coda, Varda, Athelas, and Bitwise. We also win the majority of every YC batch. Our trajectory is fueled by top investors like Founder's Fund, Stripe, General Catalyst, Caffeinated Capital, 8vc, Elad Gil, among other great angels.

🌟 Who We're Looking For

We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to prioritize and build features to help companies scale on Pulley. This requires someone to deeply understand our user base of finance and legal users and work closely with our CS team to know what features we should be prioritizing and why. This is non-glamorous work that is critical. To make this an easy to use product for our users, we need to understand the complexity behind the scenes.

We're also seeking someone who can find bolt bets. There are opportunities to get more companies to switch to Pulley, and we need to find the perfect opportunities that are worth the switching costs.

đź›  Responsibilities

  • Builds frameworks to tackle problems - can take the complexity and simplify them into simple frameworks to communicate to the team
  • Understand data models - cap tables are a complex data model problem
  • Knows how to prioritize - knows what to prioritize this week, month, and quarter.
  • Write clear product specs that follow the skateboard → car approach to building
  • Talks to users and turn learnings into features to continuously improve the product
  • Default but not essential: Can build out a product team. Recruit & hire people to work with you

🙌 Qualifications & Fit

  • Experience in a fast-paced, startup environment
  • Strong written communication skills 
  • A strong work ethic and willingness to do whatever it takes to deliver results
  • High tolerance for ambiguity 
  • Ability to switch context and still deliver on core initiatives 
  • An engineering or quantitative background - we ship daily. You should be able to understand the technical trade-offs between building option A vs. B.
  • Has an eye for good design - knows what good UX looks like

✨ Our Culture

TL&DR - Pulley is a unique fit, tailored for those who align with our values and culture. Discover the engaging culture of Pulley. We are looking for people who are excited about building a great company, not just working in a high-growth startup. In addition to function-specific skills, here are some traits that enable our team members to thrive:

  • First Principles Thinking. We believe in breaking down problems into their most basic parts. We don’t reject ideas because they haven’t worked before. We understand “why did certain things work?” and apply it to our situation.
  • Ship It & Iterate. Shipping is the starting line for learning. Ship something, talk to users, get feedback, and iterate. We focus on the inputs, on what we can control, not the outcomes. We take our best bets, and don’t fixate on the finish line.
  • Boldly Honest & Aggressively Considerate. Being boldly honest means we push one another to act from first principles, set and hit goals, and ruthlessly prioritize. Being aggressively considerate means we care about each other as humans to win as a team. We speak up and embrace feedback.
  • Default Yes. We believe that something is possible unless proven otherwise. Hard problems are often solved by people who didn’t know it was impossible.

We’re also inspired by the culture work done at other companies and plan to develop our own playbook here too. One of the concepts that resonate most with us is the importance of stunning colleagues. If you like the sound of our environment and you’re passionate about joining a team like the one we’ve described, we'd love to talk!

The US salary range for this role is $150,000-$190,000. The salary for this position is determined by considering various job-related factors, ensuring fair compensation based on location, relevant experience, education, and specific skills and expertise.
