About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead, manage, and hold accountable the combined product and engineering organization, establishing one unified operating rhythm and shared set of priorities.
Build, operate, and continuously improve the AI-driven development lifecycle (AIDLC), moving concepts from discovery through deployment at materially faster cycle times than traditional software development methods.
Architect and deliver the product foundation required to support an outcome-based commercial model, including the measurement systems and platform capabilities that tie customer results to contractual commitments.
Recruit, develop, and retain senior product and engineering leadership, including domain experts in IT finance, FinOps, and enterprise SaaS.
Partner with the CEO and executive team on company-wide strategy, capital allocation, pricing, and go-to-market alignment.
Establish and maintain engineering standards covering quality, security, scalability, and platform reliability appropriate for enterprise customers.
Govern the company's technical and product relationship with the ServiceNow ecosystem, including integration depth, platform dependencies, and the architectural decisions that preserve optionality beyond it.
Represent product and engineering to customers, prospects, the board of directors, and investors as required.
Establish key performance indicators for product adoption, engineering velocity, platform reliability, and customer outcomes, and report against them on a regular cadence.
