If youâre driven by the opportunity to build something groundbreaking, weâd love to meet you.
The Product team sits at the intersection of Engineering, Design, Sales, Operations, and Customer Success, shaping the experiences that power both sides of our business: a SaaS platform and a services-based offering. We partner closely with leadership and cross-functional teams to translate business strategy into product vision, and customer needs into scalable solutions. Our goal is to build products and services that deliver measurable value, drive growth, and create exceptional customer experiences.
As the Director of Product, you will own the strategy and execution of our entire product organization across both the SaaS and services sides of the business. This is a true playerâcoach role: youâll lead and develop a small product team (currently two direct reports) while also serving as the Product Manager/Product Owner for our SaaS platform.
Youâll be responsible for defining product vision, setting roadmap priorities, and ensuring tight alignment between product, engineering, and go-to-market teamsâwhile staying deeply hands-on with discovery, delivery, and iteration for our core software product. Youâll act as a strategic partner to executive leadership, translating business objectives into product strategy and turning customer insights into shipped outcomes.
