Job description

The VP of Product is accountable for defining and executing the product strategy for a multi-product B2B enterprise SaaS portfolio. The role leads the product management, product design, and product insights functions to deliver measurable customer and business outcomes.

  • Ensure every product has a validated problem statement, outcome PRD, and instrumentation plan before build.
  • Drive quality by design (SLAs/SLOs, reliability targets, usability standards, accessibility) and post-launch learn/iterate loops.
• Customer & Market Insight
  • Institutionalize discovery (customer interviews, JTBD mapping, usability testing, data analysis) to de-risk bets.
  • Maintain competitive intelligence and pricing/packaging guardrails in partnership with Product Marketing.
• Organization & Leadership
  • Build, mentor, and performance-manage a high-caliber team (PMs, Designers, Researchers/Analysts).
  • Install a clear ownership model (product lines and/or journeys), decision rights, and escalation paths.
  • Foster cross-functional alignment with Engineering, Sales, Customer Success, Operations, Security/Compliance, and Finance.
• Data, Governance & Compliance
  • Ensure robust product analytics, experimentation, and telemetry for evidence-based decisions.
  • Uphold privacy, security, and regulatory requirements applicable to enterprise software.
