About this role
Since 2012, Rightsline has been making work easier for rights and royalties professionals with our innovative rights and royalties management software, allowing our customers to maximize their portfolios without having to max out their daily to-do-lists.
Our fully integrated and configurable platform provides customers with comprehensive access to all their rights and royalties, across all markets and platforms, instantly. Departments can communicate, collaborate, and cohesively take action without worrying about mistakes; and in-app reports and timely alerts ensure our customers never miss an opportunity to do more.
The Position
Rightsline is building the AI-native platform for IP commerce. We are transforming how rights, royalties, and finance software works, moving from a modern system of record into an agentic product model, migrating customers off legacy acquired products onto a unified platform, and rebuilding our operating rhythm around builders who ship product end-to-end with AI as a native part of the craft.
We are hiring a Sr. Product Manager, Advanced Financials (Contract-to-Close) to own the product area that carries Rightsline's receivables and revenue-adjacent financial surface: invoice processing, cash application, cash receipt tracking, tax and currency, FX gain/loss, and royalty receivables. You will report to the Product Management leader of Financials, and partner directly with the CPO, Engineering, GTM and Delivery operators inside Rightsline and inside the customer base.
Mission & Impact
Own the Contract-to-Close product area and its commercial outcomes, from product strategy and customer discovery through launch, adoption, and retention. Work directly with Engineering, GTM, Delivery, and customer stakeholders to build an AI-native financials product.
What You Will Own
Lead the Portfolio
- Own strategy, roadmap, and business outcomes for the Contract-to-Close product area inside Advanced Financials, including its adjacent capabilities. Set quarterly outcomes and the one-year vision. First level to own and defend a product vision independently.
- Own the full Contract-to-Close surface: invoice processing, cash application, cash receipt tracking, tax and currency, FX gain/loss, and royalty receivables.
- Aligned to one to two engineering teams. Named on architectural calls at the product area level in partnership with Engineering.
- Fluent in the discovery and launch playbook at product area scale; run launches for major releases.
Customer-Driven Work That Drives Commercial Outcomes
- Deliver material improvements in acquisition, adoption, activation, and retention for the area. Commercial numbers are the measure of the seat, not shipped feature counts.
- Own R&D unit economics for the area; defend investment cases in commercial terms.
- Carry a personal cadence of named-account discovery every quarter. Discovery is not delegated.
- Synthesize win/loss at scale for the product area; inform packaging with evidence from real customers.
- Translate business and customer needs into functional and technical requirements. Anticipate trade-offs across adjacent Product Areas and pre-negotiate before conflict escalates.
- Help teams resolve conflict with prototypes and data, not consensus theater.
Craft and the AI-Native Product Development Lifecycle
- Ship PRDs plus user stories plus working prototypes. All three. This is the Rightsline bar for every PM; the Sr PM seat sets the example on the floor.
- AI Proficiency Level 2 (the hiring floor at Senior). Ship working software and prototypes routinely. Feedback in code and config, not comments alone.
- Model AI fluency personally. You are a hands-on user of modern AI development tooling (Claude, Codex, Cursor, or comparable) in your daily workflow. Not someone who talks about it.
- Mentor PMs on AI-native practice. Write evals for AI-powered features in the area.
Champion the AI-Native Product Development Lifecycle
- Champion your team’s execution against the AI-native product development lifecycle. PMs who can ship discovery, PRDs, prototypes, and production-adjacent code with AI as a native part of the craft are one of the biggest unlocks for our company. The rate at which your team adopts that model is your number to move.
- Model AI fluency personally. You are not asking your team to do work you have not done yourself; you have your own hands on modern AI development tooling.
Cross-Functional Partnership
- Partner with Engineering on architecture, staffing, and delivery predictability for the area. Partner with Design on craft standards for the surfaces the team builds. Partner with GTM on positioning, packaging, launch readiness, and win/loss.
- Direct interface with top customers and partners as part of discovery and post-launch. Represent Rightsline at industry forums and customer briefings for the product area.
- Set direction with minimal guidance. Escalate only for major P&L or timeline pivots or strategic conflicts. Replace recurring coordination with systems, not more meetings.
What You Will Bring
- 5 to 8 years of product management experience in B2B enterprise SaaS, with meaningful ownership of a receivables, order-to-cash, or revenue-recognition surface area.
- Deep working knowledge of the Contract-to-Close process: invoicing and billing, cash application, cash receipt tracking, tax and currency, FX, and receivables.
- Experience in ERP, financial close, or royalty-processing software, with working knowledge of an enterprise financials stack (NetSuite, SAP SD/FI, Workday Financials, Oracle, or comparable). Experience in a media, entertainment, or licensing-adjacent finance organization is a strong plus.
- Direct hands-on use of modern AI development tooling (Claude, Codex, Cursor, or comparable) in your daily workflow. Hands-on user, not someone who talks about it.
- Excellent written and verbal communication. Frame a Product Area strategy for leadership and a sprint trade-off for an engineer in the same afternoon.
- Comfort collaborating with globally distributed teams across time zones
- Directness paired with real care for people. Comfort with pace and ambiguity in a PE-backed enterprise SaaS company mid-transformation.
How We’ll Know You Are the One
- You are a champion of the builder era of product management. You ship PRDs plus user stories plus prototypes, not Jira tickets and status docs.
- You are AI-native, not AI-curious. You use modern AI tooling in your own work and bring the team along by example.
- You are close to customers as a habit. You run named-account discovery yourself and teach the craft personally.
- You have a clear point of view on how a modern receivables and revenue surface is built inside an agentic product, and you can hold the room with a controller, a royalty accountant, and an engineer in the same meeting.
Compensation & Benefits
- Competitive compensation and benefits package.
What We Offer
- Significant impact: Direct influence over how the organization operates and executes on its receivables and revenue product surface.
- Executive visibility: Close partnership with the CPO, GTM, and Engineering leadership.
- Growth opportunity: Own a critical Product Area end-to-end and shape operational strategy as Rightsline scales.
- Collaborative culture: Work with smart, ambitious cross-functional teams.
Our Core Values
At Rightsline, we look for these qualities in every hire, and we hold ourselves to them every day.
Be Curious and Smart
Being smart isn't about having all the answers — it's about asking the right questions, seeking out new ideas, and never assuming you already know enough.
Embrace Change
This industry moves fast and so do we. We don't resist change — we lean into it. That means staying flexible, letting go of what isn't working, and treating uncertainty as opportunity rather than obstacle.
Show Up
Showing up means being present — not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. Your teammates count on you. Your customers count on you. We do our best work when everyone is fully engaged and accountable to each other.
Get it Done
Ideas are easy. Execution is the job. We hold ourselves to what we commit to, push through the hard parts, and measure success by our actual accomplishments.
Be Humble
Nobody here has a monopoly on good ideas. We listen more than we talk, share credit freely, and check our egos at the door. The best outcome matters more than whose idea it was.
Equal Employment Opportunity
Rightsline is an equal opportunity workplace. All candidates will be afforded equal opportunity through the recruiting process. We do not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, sex, age, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, disability, gender identity and/or expression. We are dedicated to growing a diverse team of highly talented individuals and creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels empowered to bring their authentic selves to work.
