About the opportunity
As an Associate Product Manager for the Platform Security team, your objective is to bring the next generation of platform security capabilities to life.

Along the way, you’ll build hands-on product skills in discovery, prioritization, and execution while learning how enterprise security and great UX come together at scale (think SSO/MFA, provisioning, permissions models, and auditability).
We believe in working hard and having fun. If you want to be part of a team where innovation fuels your world and career growth is abundant, choose Dayforce.
