RemoteRemoteSalesFull-time
Responsibilities
- Establish and grow the segment: begin as the product manager for one validated product, then expand it into a multi-product portfolio with full P&L ownership.
- Early on, personally own product management: roadmap, prioritization, customer discovery, and go-to-market for the first product.
- Build the team deliberately: add the right roles at the right time, scaling capacity with revenue rather than ahead of it, and stand up dedicated Sales and Operations as the segment matures.
- As the portfolio grows, build and lead a team of product managers, each owning a product end to end, and raise the bar for product judgment and execution.
- Develop deep segment and buyer expertise: procurement cycles, decision-makers, and the competitive landscape.
- Define and execute product and business strategy for the segment, aligned to company priorities and market opportunity.
- Partner with the Venture Factory on net-new products graduating into the segment, integrating the right ones and declining those that do not fit.
- Own the segment P&L: budgets, forecasts, revenue targets, NOI, and pricing, packaging, positioning, and launch execution.
- Make lifecycle decisions for the segment and its products: investment, scaling, optimization, or pivots.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Technology, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
- Preferred: Advanced degree or equivalent experience in product management, general management, or business strategy.
- Experience: 8+ years of experience in product management, general management, strategy, or commercial leadership roles.
- Demonstrated ownership of business outcomes, including revenue, growth, or P&L-adjacent accountability.
- Proven business development and sales ability: personally sourced, closed, and grew client revenue, with sustained business development over time.
- Track record across the full journey: hands-on product management plus scaling a product into a larger business or portfolio.
- Experience leading and developing product managers or product teams at scale, preferred.
- Experience building teams and sizing roles to the stage of the business, preferred.
