Senior Product Manager (Platform)

At Rec (rec.us), we're reimagining how the world plays, trains, competes, explores and gets outside. Our mission is to empower the entire recreation community to thrive, and our vision is bold: power recreation worldwide.

Booking a tennis court? Signing your kid up for swim lessons? Trying to find an open rec league? It shouldn't feel like filing your taxes. We're partnering with parks & rec departments, golf courses, campgrounds, gyms and more to transform a $105B industry stuck in the Stone Age.

We're not just putting recreation online—we're redesigning it from the ground up, for the mobile-first, AI-powered world we live in.

Rec is the system of record for recreation. Every registration, booking, program, permit, and payment flows through our platform. Being the system of record means we sit on the richest, most structured dataset in recreation, creating a compounding AI advantage.

As our Senior PM for Platform, you'll own the core systems that power everything Rec does. Payments, permissions, identity & auth, APIs & integrations, and reporting and analytics — these are the building blocks every team at Rec depends on.

You're the kind of person who gets genuinely excited about building systems that are rock solid, elegantly designed, and ready to scale. You think carefully about data models and API contracts.

• Own Rec's platform layer end-to-end — payments, permissions, communications tools, SSO & identity, APIs & integrations, reporting & analytics and more.

• Set the standard for enterprise-grade quality. Define what "rock solid" means at Rec — and hold the bar across design, engineering, and QA.

• Partner closely with enterprise customers to understand their infrastructure needs, and integration requirements.

• Design APIs and platform primitives that other product teams — and eventually external developers — can build on confidently.

• Identify where AI can augment the platform layer: smarter fraud detection, automated reconciliation, and beyond.

• Translate complex technical tradeoffs into clear product decisions, without losing sight of the user experience on either end.

• 5+ years of relevant experience (PM, founder, or equivalent).

• Strong communicator and relationship-builder across all levels of an org.

• Comfortable in fast-moving, ambiguous environments — you find the signal in the noise.

• A Simplifier. You distill thorny problems into elegant, high-impact solutions.

• A proven executor. You've shipped a wide variety of features across multiple launches and know how to rally a team under tight deadlines.

• Genuinely curious about AI. You're already using AI tools in your workflow.

• Excited about the system-of-record opportunity.

• Be Relentless. Move fast. Own it. Ship real value early and often.

• Win Together. Speak up, go beyond the boundaries of your role. That's how we win.

• Take Pride. Treat this like it's yours — because it is.

• Compensation: $140,000–$200,000 base + meaningful equity (final offer will be based on your background, experience and skillset)

• Benefits: Flexible PTO, top-tier health/dental/vision, and a 401(k) plan to support your future.

• Work location: San Francisco — in-office most days at our downtown SF office. Bay Area-based, with flexibility for remote when needed.
