Product Manager

Remote
What We Do

We’re on a mission to empower animal healthcare professionals with opportunities to earn more and achieve greater flexibility in their careers and personal lives.

Powered by groundbreaking technology, Roo has built the industry-leading veterinary staffing platform, connecting Veterinarians, Technicians, and Assistants with animal hospitals for relief work and hiring opportunities. Roo empowers the largest network of over 20,000 veterinary professionals to help more than 9,000 animal hospitals provide quality care to more pets.
Together, we’ve provided more than  3 million hours of healthcare, helping Veterinarians earn more than $200 million.

About the Role

As a Product Manager at Roo, you'll be an embedded builder on a squad focused on driving impact across our labor marketplace. You won't just write specs and hand them off - you'll use AI tools to compress research cycles, prototype ideas, and increasingly ship work directly. You'll support the strategy and execution of meaningful product work, collaborating closely with engineering, design, analytics, and operations to deliver value to our users. This is a role for someone who gets their energy from building, takes ownership of their work, and is hungry to solve real problems for real people in a collaborative environment.

Your work will connect directly to the "Roo Equation"—the equation that defines our business model—so you'll always know you're having an impact. You'll operate with growing autonomy as you take an iterative, curiosity and AI-driven approach to learning, moving fast, and shipping product that creates measurable outcomes for our customers.

This role reports to the Director of Product Management, and while the role will operate on a remote basis, you may be required to occasionally be onsite in our San Francisco co-working space for meetings and team events.


Responsibilities

  • Ship product. Use AI-assisted prototyping and an internal coding agent called Roomote to move ideas from concept to production faster than the traditional PM-to-eng handoff allows.
  • Contribute to roadmap and prioritization with guidance, developing your instinct for what will drive the most impact toward the squad's north star metric.
  • Collaborate with engineering, design, operations, and marketing to define and deliver solutions—knowing when a problem requires the full team and when you can move independently to get something across the finish line yourself.
  • Write clear, decision-ready PRDs. AI can accelerate your drafting—but the hard thinking is yours: deeply understanding the problem, interrogating the tradeoffs, and arriving at a solution that genuinely serves users and the business.
  • Use data to stay honest. Run your own analyses with the help of AI, maintain fluency in dashboards, and flag when a question needs deeper support.
  • Adopt an experimentation mindset, finding ways to quickly test and iterate on hypotheses.
  • Run your own research with guidance. Use AI tools to synthesize market signals, competitive intelligence, and user feedback quickly—so you're always operating from insight, not assumption.
  • Help maintain a healthy, fast-moving product development process within the squad through clear communication and tight documentation.

Qualifications

  • 2-3 years of product management experience, or equivalent experience where you were driving product decisions and building product features in a different capacity (e.g. engineering)
  • Strong user empathy and a customer-first mindset—you're genuinely curious about the people you're building for.
  • Clear communicator: you can explain what you're building and why to teammates across functions and levels.
  • Demonstrated use of AI tools in your workflow—for research, writing, analysis, prototyping, or shipping. (This is not a nice-to-have.)
  • Comfortable using data (quantitative and qualitative) to inform decisions and track progress, with a willingness to get hands-on in dashboards and do your own analysis.
  • Eager to learn in ambiguity, with a bias toward action and a track record of following through on commitments.
  • Collaborative and low-ego; you know how to earn trust with engineering, design, and ops and can influence without authority.
  • Cares deeply about UX and can articulate product improvements clearly, whether in writing, mockups, or conversation.
  • Bonus: Experience in labor marketplaces, healthcare tech, or an early-stage startup. Experience using AI coding tools (Cursor, Replit, v0, etc.) to build working prototypes or ship production features.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
