This is a high-impact leadership role that oversees the full product lifecycle across a diverse portfolio, spearheading product strategy, team development, and market execution.

Reporting directly to the VP of Business Development & Growth, this role sits at the intersection of technology, customer experience, and business strategy.

Cross-Functional Execution

• Drive seamless collaboration between product, engineering, sales, marketing, and customer success teams.
• Partner with GTM leaders to shape product positioning, pricing strategies, and launch plans that win.
• Ensure customer teams are enabled to deliver meaningful adoption and long-term value.
  
  

Customer & Market Intelligence

• Own the competitive landscape and uncover whitespace for product differentiation and expansion.
• Lead the voice-of-customer strategy, surfacing critical insights to guide product innovation and refinement.
• Be the face of the product in client, partner, and analyst conversations.
  
  

Product Lifecycle Ownership

• Oversee product performance from inception through scale—leveraging KPIs, insights, and feedback to drive iteration.
• Make data-driven decisions around launch, enhancement, and product end-of-life strategies.
• Champion a continuous improvement mindset across the organization.
  
  

QUALIFICATIONS:

• Education: Bachelor’s in Business, Engineering, Computer Science, or related field required. MBA or advanced degree preferred.
• Experience: 10+ years in product management with 5+ years in a leadership capacity. Proven track record of leading complex product portfolios across software, SaaS, robotics, or automation environments.
• Certifications: Agile, Scrum, or Product Management certifications (e.g., AIPMM, Pragmatic Institute) a plus.
  
  

COMPENTENCIES:

Strategic Visionary & Operator

• You think big and execute precisely—aligning bold product strategies with tangible business outcomes.
• Financial fluency and product-market fit are second nature.
  
  

Leader of Leaders

• You’ve scaled and mentored teams that punch above their weight.
• You drive accountability and energize those around you through vision, empathy, and clarity.
  
  

Customer-Obsessed, Data-Driven
