This role's mission & overview:
Every product Campminder builds runs on a shared foundation. The platform is what makes a camp's communication history, payment records, and enrollment data consistent across every surface they touch. It's what makes the products smarter the more camps use it. It's what allows each product team to build faster because they're not solving the same problem twice. The Group Product Manager, Platform owns that foundation.
You will report to the Chief Product Officer, lead three product managers across four teams, and be accountable for the platform capabilities that underpin every product we build. This is a senior role for someone who has done platform product leadership before — likely at the GPM or Senior PM level — and is ready to own it fully.
The Platform Teams own:
- Shared Services: e.g. people, authentication, communications, payments and financials.
- Data Platform: Unified data lake, analytics infrastructure, data pipelines across all products, reporting capabilities
- AI & Intelligence: Shared Intelligence infrastructure, RAG systems trained on camp-specific data, agentic workflow capabilities, proprietary intelligence models
Right now, we're in an active build phase — shared services are being extracted from individual products, the data platform is coming online as a real foundation, and AI infrastructure is moving to shared capabilities. The work is genuinely complex and the choices made now will shape what every product team can build for years.
As a Group Product Manager on our Product team, you will:
- Own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for Campminder's Shared Platform — including shared communications, payments, identity, the data platform, and AI infrastructure — and proactively develop that strategy on your own initiative, anchored to company objectives and the evolving needs of multiple product teams
- Lead and grow a team of three product managers across the four platform teams — setting clear expectations, coaching them to do their best work, and creating accountability systems that keep teams aligned and moving
- Navigate the tension between platform and product: keeping internal teams unblocked and the platform easy to build on, while staying connected to the camp and family experience that sits at the end of every capability you ship
- Identify where platform investments will have the greatest leverage across multiple products and the camp market, and build the case for prioritization with data and a clear point of view
- Partner closely with engineering, design, and cross-functional stakeholders to translate shared problems into platform capabilities that are performant, scalable, and easy to build on
- Shape how Campminder invests in AI and data as shared organizational infrastructure — moving from one-off features to capabilities like shared model context, camp-specific RAG pipelines, unified data ingestion, and an intelligence layer that makes every product smarter over time
- Influence how platform capabilities are sequenced and extracted from existing products — helping the organization move from duplicated, product-specific solutions to shared capabilities that every team can build on
- Use AI prototyping tools — Lovable, Bolt, Claude Code, or similar — to rapidly build working prototypes with customers, compressing the feedback loop between idea and validated product direction
We think a successful candidate will bring:
- A track record of leading platform, infrastructure, or shared services products — with a clear understanding of what it means to serve internal product teams as customers alongside external end users
- Experience managing product managers, with a coaching style that helps people grow, make good decisions independently, and do their best work
- The ability to develop strategy proactively and independently — you see where things need to go before being asked, make the case with data, and create the conditions for it to happen
- The ability to move platform decisions forward in the face of ambiguity — balancing the urgency to ship with the reality that platform choices are hard to reverse, and knowing when to slow down to get the architecture right
- The ability to transform complexity into simplicity: you design extensible systems that multiple teams can build on, while obsessing over keeping the experience clear and intuitive for end users
- Enough fluency in data and AI infrastructure — data pipelines, model lifecycle, grounding, shared training data, observability — to lead product managers working in those spaces and make good trade-offs without being a data engineer
- A communication style that makes complex platform decisions legible to engineers, product teams, and senior leadership alike — you build trust across all of them
- You use AI prototyping tools as a core part of how you work — reaching for Lovable, Bolt, Claude Code, or similar to compress the loop between idea and validated direction, not as a bonus step in discovery

We encourage people of all backgrounds to apply:
We're actively taking steps to make sure our culture is inclusive and that our processes and practices promote equity for all, including people of color, people from working-class backgrounds, women, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. We welcome and encourage applications from people with these identities or members of other historically marginalized groups.
Research shows that women and people of color tend not to apply to jobs unless they believe they are 100% qualified and apply to fewer senior-level positions. With that in mind, we encourage you to apply if you're not sure whether you meet our qualifications. We'd love to have the opportunity to consider you!
We encourage applications from parents, parents-to-be, and those responsible for the caretaking of others. We offer paid parental leave for birthing and non-birthing parents (including for adoption, surrogacy, and foster care placement) and paid loss leave to recover from miscarriage or stillbirth.
