About the Team & Value Stream The AI & Platform Value Stream is the engineering backbone of UKG Ready, the teams that determine whether Ready can scale, perform, and evolve at the pace the business demands. We sit within UKG Ready AI & Platform and own the foundational infrastructure, data platforms, AI frameworks, identity systems, and integration capabilities that every domain team in Ready builds on. The Integration Framework team owns the connective infrastructure that makes UKG Ready an open, composable platform. Every third party system that connects to Ready, every external data feed that flows in or out, every webhook event that fires, every partner integration available in Solutions Exchange, all of it runs on the framework this team builds and operates. That scope includes the Audit Framework (the underlying audit and compliance infrastructure for Ready), encryption services, data import/export pipelines, middleware and integration infrastructure, and advanced webhooks. The strategic stakes for this team are rising fast. UKG Ready is targeting $1.1B ARR by 2030. One of the six critical engineering prerequisites for that growth is Integration & Partner Scale: a mature inbound/outbound integration framework with monitoring, governance, API metering, and fairness controls that can support reseller growth and ecosystem expansion at volume. The Integration Framework PM owns the roadmap that delivers that capability. Equally important: Integration Framework is the connective tissue for UKG Ready's AI native future. AI agents connect to external systems through integrations. Agentic workflows that span UKG Ready and third party platforms depend on reliable, fast, observable integration infrastructure. The Workflow and Integration Bryte AI Frontdoor initiative this team owns will define how AI assisted integration creation works in UKG Ready. This PM will shape the platform architecture that enables that. You will collaborate with PMs across the value stream (Platform Services, Identity & Access, AI Framework, Analytics Platform), with Global Alliances, Solutions Exchange teams, domain PMs across Payroll, HR, and Time & Labor, and with partner engineering organizations. About the Role This is a technically demanding, PM role at the intersection of developer platforms, integration engineering, and partner ecosystems. You will own the roadmap for the integration infrastructure that powers every external connection in UKG Ready and the marketplace through which partners reach Ready customers. You need both depth and range. Deep enough to make credible technical calls on webhook retry semantics, event driven architecture, API versioning strategies, and encryption at the integration layer. Broad enough to translate framework capabilities into partner value, drive Solutions Exchange as a product led growth surface, and build the business case for API monetization. You'll move between architecture discussions with engineers, roadmap reviews with senior leadership, and go to market conversations with the Global Alliances team, sometimes all in the same week. This role also requires an AI native working style, not as a nice to have, but as a baseline expectation. UKG operates a fully agentic product and development lifecycle: our engineering teams build with AI coding assistants, our PM organization uses AI agents for research, synthesis, and documentation, and the products we ship are themselves AI powered. We're looking for someone who has genuinely internalized this shift, someone who reaches for an AI agent before a spreadsheet, who accelerates their PM work with agentic tools, and who understands how integration infrastructure must evolve to serve agentic consumers, not just human triggered workflows. You will: Own the integration framework strategy and evolution. Define the roadmap for the next generation integration framework: V2 enhancements, event driven architecture, advanced webhooks (editable payloads, retry logic, event filtering, webhook marketplace), batch event processing, and a generic transformation engine that reduces integration build time from months to weeks. Drive Solutions Exchange and partner ecosystem growth. Own the Solutions Exchange roadmap as a product led growth surface: self service partner onboarding, in app integration discovery, activation flows, and the .
