Position Overview

Every film set, every production, every crew member who brings a story to life depends on getting paid accurately and on time. Behind that promise is a mountain of workflows, timecards, invoices, and approvals that have historically meant paper, friction, and lost time. As a Product Manager at Cast & Crew, you will help change that.

You will own a product end to end, working closely with design, engineering, and our customers to build intuitive, flexible solutions that make complex production and payroll workflows feel effortless. Your mandate is to deeply understand the people who rely on our platform every day and to build products so seamless they become the obvious choice over any alternative, including paper.

You will work at the intersection of mobile-first design, real-world production workflows, and enterprise-grade requirements. The entertainment industry spans feature films, episodic television, commercials, live events, and beyond, and you will build products that work beautifully across all of them, on every device, in every context. Cast & Crew is actively reimagining legacy processes with AI, automation, and modern mobile experiences, and you will be part of that transformation.

This is a chance to contribute to products that directly touch the lives of hundreds of thousands of crew members every week, at a company that has supported the entertainment industry for decades and is now building what comes next.
