We are searching for a product manager to join our core product team in Frederick, MD. You will lead the planning and design of new HighGear features with a focus on user experience and business value. You’ll also work with our support and sales teams to learn about customer needs, and our executive team to set product strategy.

Our customers love us because we don’t just deliver our product and then forget about them. Instead we truly learn their needs and go above and beyond to make their goals possible. In this role you will directly contribute to making them successful.

Our most important criterion is a strong cultural fit. We have a great culture and are proud to be guided by the faith-based principles of passion, humility, teamwork, and integrity. We have the innovative culture and customer focus of a startup, but we are a profitable and mature company with careful financial management and strong cash reserves. And instead of fighting traffic every day, you can work close to home in a great place to live!
