Job Level
About the role
- Translate the company's overarching mission into a roadmap that engineering, sales, and leadership can rally around.
- Maintain a living, prioritized backlog that reflects real customer needs, business priorities, and technical constraints.
- Provide product input on automation initiatives and roadmap decisions in partnership with Engineering and Operations.
- Treat the product roadmap as a living document that evolves with the technology landscape. Continuously identify new tools, AI capabilities, and emerging solutions that can replace manual effort, improve performance, or unlock new value for customers.
- Build deep, structured alignment with the founder - not just high-level sign-offs, but shared mental models of why, what, and complexity. Create communication rhythms that keep the founder informed without bottlenecking execution.
- Work daily alongside a senior, experienced engineering team that has built and shipped products together across multiple projects and geographies.
- Translate ambiguous ideas into well-scoped, unblocking specs without over-specifying.
- Lead automation-first product thinking, design features and workflows that reduce manual work and enable real-time monitoring.
- Hire, onboard, and develop a Senior PM from day one, with a clear mandate for which product scope they own.
- Partner with Sales on product positioning, service tiers, and scaling plans.
Requirements
- 7+ years in product management, with at least 3 years in a senior or head-of-product role at a B2B SaaS company.
- Proven track record owning multiple product areas simultaneously, spanning internal tooling and external customer-facing products.
- Demonstrated ability to work closely with a non-technical founder or senior executive deeply involved in product decisions.
- Experience leading or mentoring PMs, with the ability to build a small product team from scratch.
- Hands-on experience designing automation-ready workflows or systems in partnership with Engineering.
- Strong written and verbal communication, you can write a crisp one-pager and run a tight product review.
- Deep hands-on experience with Jira or Linear - you have managed complex product backlogs, built structured workflows, and used it as the operational backbone for sprint planning, roadmap tracking, and cross-team coordination.
Benefits
- Competitive compensation: $140,000-160,000 base + 20% performance bonus
- Equity: 0.25%-0.75%
- Build from the ground up: Shape product strategy and org structure
