The Opportunity
The Head of Product is responsible for determining the long-term vision of our product, and the short- and medium-term roadmap to get us from here to there. This vision comes from developing a deep understanding of the needs of our customers. We are looking for a Head of Product who will communicate often with our prospects and users to understand their needs. We also want someone who knows how to listen to our marketing, sales and customer success and support teams. The right person will be able to assimilate all of these inputs and then decide which features will add the most value and then figure out the best and smartest way to build them. The Head of Product will work collaboratively with our Engineering Group in a squad model. This role will also work with our executive team and others across the company, modeling curiosity and candor in all they do. (We’re big on those here.)
