Jeremy Myrland
Principal PM @ Nike · Founder, Roost
15+ years making complex systems actually work, across consumer search, enterprise HR, developer platforms, and ecommerce. Lately I build as much as I lead: shipping production software solo with AI agent tooling. I specialize in orchestration, taking fragmented teams, systems, and workflows and connecting them into real outcomes.
Staff PM and Director of Product are where I do my best work. Remote-friendly. Based in Lake Oswego, Oregon (Portland metro).
Experience
Roost — Founder
2026–Present- Built a modern parent directory replacing the incumbent (DirectorySpot), solo: the Postgres data model and row-level security, the Next.js web app, and native iOS and Android apps.

- Live at 6 Lake Oswego schools, K-12 (Forest Hills, Hallinan, Oak Creek, and Lake Grove Elementary, Lake Oswego Middle School, and Lake Oswego High School), reaching nearly 2,000 families, 2,700+ students, and 3,400+ parents and guardians on web and mobile, plus the district education foundation.
Nike — Principal PM, HR Global Technology
2025–Present- Own product strategy for an enterprise HR platform serving 75,000+ employees across retail, corporate, and supply chain, with Workday as the system of record.
- Drove platform consolidation and automation: collapsed document management into Workday, eliminating redundant tooling and saving hundreds of thousands in annual licensing.
- Build intake and prioritization frameworks and outcome-based metrics tied to self-service adoption and process efficiency.
- Introduced manager-facing workflow intelligence and proactive recommendations to reduce HR support escalations.
Workday — Manager, Platform Product Management
2022–2025- Built two PM teams from scratch simultaneously; grew the Interoperability team from 3 to 9 PMs across the US, Canada, and Ireland.
- Defined the vision and roadmap for the platform as Workday's ecosystem connective tissue: 90+ payroll partner API integrations, a universal header for acquisitions, and a mobile web view platform.
- Ran Delivery as a force multiplier for UI Platform: GitHub Actions CI consolidation, observability frameworks, and quality guardrails, with a north star of saving developer time.
- Hired and developed a distributed team and launched the org's first GenAI chatbot strategy.
Wayfair — Associate Director, Search Platform
2021–2022- Launched neural-network-powered search replacing the legacy system: $100M+ in incremental global revenue ($65M+ US).

- Established a 3-year roadmap bought in across product, ML, and marketing in a highly top-down environment.
- Partnered with the ML team on predictive, context-aware results using collaborative filtering and relevance models.
Constructor — Group Product Manager
2020- Built a pre-sales "try it out" tool that doubled trial engagement by letting prospects compare against their live legacy search.

Nike — Senior PM, Search
2016–2020- Led the migration from legacy Endeca to an in-house ML-driven search platform across nike.com and the Nike app.
- Launched Search Preview: $50M+ incremental revenue in the first months at 6%+ conversion versus a 3% baseline.

- Resolved org tension between brand curation and commerce optimization across globally distributed teams.
Jama Software — Product Manager
2012–2016- Joined as the first PM (~40th employee); segmentation work shifted the company toward large, complex customers.
- Launched a decision-tracking feature: 10,000 decisions logged in month one.
- Led ISO 26262 automotive certification, the first agile SaaS company certified; 5x automotive pipeline growth in one quarter.
