Job Level

Lead

About the role

  • Own 3–4 client engagements simultaneously, serving as the strategic partner each founder works with directly
  • Lead SWAT phases: embed with founders, map product and business landscape, and define the fastest path to shipped value
  • Assemble and lead custom teams (engineers, designers, PMs, project managers) tailored to each client's needs
  • Conduct founder-level conversations about business strategy and translate them into product architecture, backlogs, and shipped outcomes
  • Connect dots between market trends, data, and founder vision to identify opportunities and make senior strategy and product recommendations
  • Direct AI-native engineering workflows (Claude Code, agentic workflows, frontier models) and coach teams on AI co-creation
  • Continuously evaluate whether what's being built is generating real user value — and course-correct when it's not
  • Identify new product opportunities and engagements that could scale into standalone ventures

Requirements

  • Founded and shipped at least one company (fundraising, building, selling, pivots — ideally an exit)
  • Experience wearing multiple hats: CEO, CTO, product lead, or similar across engineering, design, product, and go-to-market
  • Technical proficiency to direct AI-native engineering and strategic ability to challenge CEO-level assumptions on what to build and why
  • Systems thinker: able to hold product, market, channel, and business model simultaneously and make fast decisions
  • High EQ: able to build trust quickly with founders, read a room, and give hard feedback without breaking relationships
  • Strong cultural fluency in US tech and startup ecosystems, with experience navigating American business environments
  • Based in Latin America
Benefits
  • Competitive base salary plus profit sharing on the engagements you lead
  • 100% remote work within LATAM
  • Access to Katapult's full roster of engineers, designers, PMs, and world-class fractional experts
  • Build your own product ideas using Katapult's talent and infrastructure at cost
  • A real path to venture: spin out the right idea as a company with Katapult's backing
  • World-class deal flow working alongside top founders from 8VC and Action Capitals networks
  • 15 days PTO per year, country-specific holidays, and personal days
  • Direct collaboration with Katapult's founder and leadership team
