As an APM at Relay, you will have meaningful ownership from day one, not shadowing, not supporting, but leading. You'll be embedded directly in our product and engineering teams, driving real product decisions that affect real customers. You'll be exposed to every dimension of how a high-growth startup brings a product to market: from shaping the roadmap and guiding engineering, to engaging customers, analyzing data, and integrating AI into our platform. •If you're someone who wants to accelerate your career, learn by doing, and have a direct line of sight to the impact you create — this is the role for you. •Job Overview •As an Associate Product Manager (APM) at Relay, you will help define and deliver products that drive our business forward. You'll partner closely with engineering and cross-functional stakeholders to ship features that delight customers and accelerate Relay's growth. •You will act as the crucial bridge between our engineering team and the rest of the business, translating customer needs, market signals, and stakeholder input into clear, well-framed problems for engineering to solve. This is a hands-on role designed for someone who thrives at the intersection of technology, customer empathy, and business impact. You'll be encouraged to leverage AI and automation to push the boundaries of what our products can do. Due to the highly collaborative nature of this role, there is a 5 day in-office requirement at our Raleigh, NC headquarters. •Our Product Philosophy •At Relay, Product Management is rarely about having all the answers; it is about having the most complete context, maintaining discipline, and acting as the steady hand that guides our teams forward. In this role, you will be expected to: •Provide Context, Not Just Tasks: You will not simply hand over a list of stakeholder requests. You will deliver well-framed, clearly articulated problems to Engineering, ensuring they understand not just what we are building, but also the clear rationale for why it matters right now. •Own Stakeholder Friction: When issues arise, you will absorb and resolve them. You will understand the technical constraints of your product area well enough to solve issues directly with stakeholders, rather than bringing raw, unfiltered issues to the engineering team. •Be a Calming, Decisive Presence: You will act as a buffer against competing demands, ensuring you do not bring chaos, panic, or unnecessary urgency to engineering.
