Head of Product

About the role

The Head of Product at CivilGrid will partner with both the engineering and leadership team to set the vision and roadmap for the product. This is a player-coach role: you’ll own the roadmap end to end, partner closely with our engineering team to drive execution, and lead and grow a team of PMs shipping alongside them. This role reports to the company CEO. It is a hybrid role with expectations that you are working from our Boston, MA or San Francisco, CA office at least 4 days per week if hired.

Responsibilities

• Set product vision and strategy with the CEO and leadership team, translating market opportunity into a focused, prioritized roadmap
• Own the product roadmap end to end — from customer discovery and validation through launch, iteration, and measurement
• Partner closely with engineering as a true thought partner: drive execution, work through trade-offs, and ship on fast cycles
• Stay close to our customers to deeply understand their workflows and the decisions our platform needs to power
• Lead and grow the product team: hire, mentor, and manage PMs while staying hands-on in the work yourself
• Champion a default-to-shipping culture: get product into customers' hands fast, then learn and iterate

Requirements

• 8+ years of product management experience, including 4+ years as a people manager
• You’ve shipped multiple iterations of successful B2B products
• You can go deep on technical detail with engineers and zoom out to strategy with executives in the same hour
• Start-up ready - you’re autonomous, move fast, and take initiative without being asked
• You default to shipping - you’d rather get something in front of users this month than perfect it for next quarter

Bonus points

• Prior industry experience in Utilities, Construction, or Climate Tech
• A degree in Civil Engineering, or a related field (B.S. or M.S.)

Qualifications

• Experience in a similar role
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team
• Passion for civil design and infrastructure technology

Skills

• Product management
• Customer understanding
• Technical expertise
• Team leadership
• Strategic thinking

Benefits

• Company-funded medical, dental, and vision insurance — including medical plans at no cost to the employee
• FSA (health and dependent care)
• Unlimited PTO and a culture that expects you to actually use it
• 401(k) plan
• Flexible, remote-friendly work environment
• A high-trust team, real ownership, and the chance to do the most meaningful work of your career

Pay

The base salary range for this role is $200,000 - $281,601. Base salary is only one part of your total compensation package at CivilGrid, which also includes meaningful early-stage equity, comprehensive benefits, and the opportunity to shape a category-defining company.
