About the role
This role is not a traditional Project Manager or Head of Product. Instead, it requires a dedicated owner to translate vision into a sequenced plan where each build compounds the next, and drive alignment across leadership and the team.
Responsibilities
- Own the long-term product roadmap, translating vision into a sequenced plan where each build deliberately compounds the next, and driving alignment on it across leadership and the team
- Run continuous customer and market discovery, maintaining ongoing contact with users and the market, synthesizing what comes back, and feeding it into roadmap decisions as a standing input, not a one-off
- Drive open product-architecture decisions to resolution — provenance, the public/private seam, version propagation across packs, consumer-facing vocabulary — from fuzzy to decided
- Think through the in-the-weeds product architecture — the specific edge cases, like how access or permissions behave under a given condition — before engineering picks it up, so the details are already decided rather than discovered mid-build
- Define and prioritize what gets built: write the specs, set sequencing, and make the prioritization calls that keep a self-managing team pointed at the compounding plan
- Partner closely with engineering and data science on knowledge-base quality, and with sales and customer success on what's closing, where deals stall, and what drives adoption
Requirements
- ~7+ years in product, with senior end-to-end ownership of a product line or surface
- Shipped a product where simplicity or ease-of-adoption was the core challenge
- Driven real AI/product adoption inside large organizations, not just shipped a pilot
- Worked closely with engineering and data science on a technical product, without needing the infrastructure translated
Qualifications
- Has shipped a product where simplicity or ease-of-adoption was the core challenge
- Has driven real AI/product adoption inside large organizations, not just shipped a pilot
- Worked closely with engineering and data science on a technical product, without needing the infrastructure translated
Skills
- Strong roadmap and sequencing judgment
- Product taste — relentless cut toward effortless rather than feature-completeness
- Real discovery instincts — not running calls for their own sake, but hearing something you didn't already believe and changing course because of it
- Backbone, delivered as consensus, not decree — push back on vision and engineering's default architecture when the market or the product disagrees with it
- Product thinking over process — organized because it drives value to customers fast, not because a granular plan feels like progress
- Write a direction doc that lets the team generate its own tickets rather than writing every ticket yourself
