VP of Product

About the role

The SVP/VP of Product at Autura leads the company's product strategy and unifies a broad, multi-product surface into a coherent platform. They set product direction from customer evidence and business outcomes, prioritize features, and build a product organization that ships faster than competitors in the category.

Responsibilities

• Own the go-forward product strategy for the full Autura portfolio, and make the hard calls on what to unify, invest in, and retire.
• Turn a wide, fragmented surface into one coherent platform.
• Set product direction from customer evidence and business outcomes, and defend it under pressure.
• Take full ownership of discovery and prioritization so engineering leadership can focus on architecture and delivery.
• Partner with engineering in healthy, productive tension. Own the tradeoffs that decide what gets built and in what order, driven by customer and commercial value rather than internal convenience.
• Install a modern operating model: close to customers, evidence-driven prioritization, spec-driven and prototype-first development, and continuous shipping in place of long waterfall launches.
• Drive the growth bets that expand Autura beyond its core, including embedded payments and fintech opportunities in the towing vertical, and marketplace monetization.

Requirements

• You build. This is a hard requirement, not a nice-to-have. You personally ship with AI: prototypes, working UI and flows, agents, internal tools.
• You have senior product leadership experience, ideally including taking a slow, legacy, or multi-product organization and making it fast and focused.
• You have real fluency fusing product with design, UX, and frontend, and comfort operating through small, AI-accelerated pods rather than large traditional teams.
• You have sharp product judgment: you challenge assumptions, follow the data (lost deals, churn, usage), and tell a product problem apart from an execution problem.
• You have strong customer instinct. You get close to real end users and to the sales floor, not just to decision makers.

Qualifications

• Clear, direct communication with executives, the board, and your team.

Skills

• Vehicle, mobility, logistics, dispatch, or marketplace software experience.
• Payments or embedded-finance depth relevant to our monetization thesis.
