About Us

At Benepass we're making benefits easy. We believe people are the most important asset to any company. Traditional one-size-fits-all benefits packages no longer cut it in today's hybrid and remote-first environment. With Benepass, companies can tailor their benefits to the unique needs of their workforce.

Through our easy-to-use and highly customizable fintech platform, People teams can implement, administer, and track the benefits that meet employees where they are. Employers design their benefits and perks plan by setting a contribution amount and eligible spend categories. Every employee has their own individual definition of wellness and needs different things to help them be their most productive, fulfilled self.

Our Mission

Helping companies reimagine how companies take care of their people.

Our Investors

We are backed by leading investors, including Portage Ventures, Threshold Ventures, Gradient Ventures, Workday Ventures, and Clocktower Technology Ventures. To date, the company has raised $35 million of equity capital.

The Role

Benepass is reimagining how employees discover, understand, and engage with their benefits – and we’re looking for a Lead Product Manager to own a major part of that experience end to end.

This role is for a senior product manager who wants real ownership in a small, high-trust team. You’ll take responsibility for a strategic product area, shape its direction, and drive it from early discovery through delivery and iteration. The scope is meaningful, the problems are ambiguous, and the impact is highly visible.

You’ll work closely with product leadership and cross-functional partners, with autonomy to run your domain and accountability for outcomes. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys both strategic thinking and building.

What you’ll do

As the owner of this product area, you’ll be accountable for setting direction, making tradeoffs, and driving outcomes. You will:

  • Own a strategic product area focused on employee discovery and engagement, from problem definition through execution

  • Reimagine core employee-facing experiences that help users better understand their benefits and discover relevant options

  • Define the strategy and roadmap for your area, making and owning tradeoffs based on user needs, business goals, and constraints

  • Lead product discovery to deeply understand employee and employer problems, and translate insights into clear product direction

  • Partner closely with Design, Engineering, Product Marketing, and other teams to deliver cohesive, high-quality experiences

  • Drive execution end to end, keeping work moving forward and adjusting course as new information emerges

  • Use data, feedback, and judgment to evaluate impact and continuously improve what you build

You’ll be trusted to operate independently within your domain, while collaborating closely with product leadership on prioritization and broader context.

What we’re looking for

This role is a strong fit if you:

  • Have 6+ years of experience as a Product Manager, with increasing ownership over time

  • Have experience working at a startup or similarly fast-moving environment, where scope is broad and ambiguity is high

  • Are comfortable owning a problem space end to end, from framing through delivery

  • Can balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution

  • Communicate clearly and proactively, especially when navigating tradeoffs or uncertainty

  • Are curious, thoughtful, and motivated by learning in complex domains

  • Take accountability seriously and follow through on what you own

We’re less focused on specific industries or tools and more interested in how you think, how you work, and how you approach ownership.

Compensation

  • Base salary of $180,000 to $200,000 + equity.

Range(s) is subject to change. Benepass takes a number of factors into account when determining individual starting pay, including market comparables, interview performance, peer compensation, and years of experience.

What We Offer

  • 95% coverage of medical, dental, and vision

  • Fantastic benefits (of course 😃), including:

  • We offer several team onsites a year

  • Flexible PTO

At Benepass, we are working towards reimaging how companies take care of their people. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all our employees and are seeking to build a team that reflects the diversity of the people we hope to serve with our revolutionary products. Benepass is proud to be an equal-opportunity employer.

About Benepass

Benepass (YC W20) helps companies take care of their people; employees get a single card for all of their benefits, paired with a friendly and intuitive mobile app. Our product makes it easy for employees to save on essentials (like child- and healthcare) and to enjoy their company’s perks (think work from home setups, fitness memberships, and free lunch) especially in a remote-first world. We also automate away tons of manual work that companies usually have to do to manage benefits.

Our investors include Gradient Ventures, Y Combinator, and awesome angels like Aaron Levie of Box.

HUGE OPPORTUNITY + HARD PROBLEMS

Benepass is using modern software, automation, and a great UX to transform the $30+ billion benefits industry. We’re displacing incumbents running on manual processes and legacy technology, like fax, checks in the mail, and artisanal CSVs.

To do that at scale, we need to solve hard technical problems involving payments, security, integrations, NLP, nightmarishly complex and ever changing rules, automation, and a whole lot more. We also have to deliver an incredible user experience through our web and mobile apps.

We know we’re on to something here: In the past year, we’ve grown to cover thousands of lives and signed big customers who are household names. We've found product-market fit and we’re growing at breakneck speed.

AWESOME TEAM

In my opinion, one of the biggest reasons to work here is the team you’ll be joining. I love that I get to work with a team who are not only smart and super capable, but are also really friendly and genuinely care about each other.

Background-wise, we run the gamut, from Wall Street to Google & Facebook to barbershops and professional sports.

(Also, nerd sniping each other is the company sport. Frequent topics include robotics, AI, synthetic biology, dev tools, rockets, WSB, cryptography, and our pets.)
