• Improve product delivery predictability by ensuring teams ship committed work on time, at a high quality bar, and with increasing speed.
• Lead and coach two Product Managers and a Design Lead, raising the quality of product thinking, execution, collaboration, and design across the organization.
• Build an AI-native product and operating model by identifying where AI can create meaningful leverage in product development and team workflows.
• Partner closely with founders and engineering leadership to establish clear decision rights, challenge assumptions constructively, and drive alignment around product and technical priorities.
• Maintain strong customer proximity by developing reliable systems for collecting customer feedback, identifying meaningful signals, and translating insights into product decisions.
• Collaborate with go-to-market teams to maintain clarity around product direction, upcoming capabilities, timing, and customer impact.

• Stay sufficiently technical to understand the codebase, prototype solutions, build lightweight tooling, and contribute credibly to technical discussions.
• Establish clear written communication and decision-making practices that enable distributed teams to stay aligned across time zones.

• Proven experience leading product at a growth-stage software company, ideally in customer research, data, developer tools, or another adjacent technology environment.
• Demonstrated ability to own product and design functions end-to-end while remaining deeply involved in execution rather than operating solely as a strategic leader.

• Experience managing and developing senior product and design professionals while maintaining a high bar for craft and execution.
• Strong customer orientation, with a structured approach to gathering customer signals and distinguishing meaningful insights from noise.
• Demonstrated ability to build and operate reliable product delivery processes that improve speed without compromising quality.
• Genuine AI-native mindset, with practical experience using AI to enhance product development, decision-making, analysis, or operational workflows.
• Technical fluency sufficient to understand software architecture and codebases, prototype or implement lightweight solutions, and engage credibly with engineers on technical trade-offs.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to make complex decisions and recommendations clear to diverse stakeholders.
• Strong executive and founder partnership skills, including the confidence to challenge assumptions, make recommendations, and commit once decisions are made.
• High ownership, bias toward action, strong judgment, and the ability to close open loops while maintaining momentum.
• Ability to thrive in a high-trust, high-autonomy environment where priorities can evolve quickly.

• Competitive compensation and equity.
• Remote-first work environment with high trust and significant autonomy.
• Generous paid time off.
• Comprehensive health benefits.
• Annual team retreats and virtual team events.
