About Us

Modus Create is a digital consulting partner that helps ambitious organizations design, build, and modernize digital products, platforms, and AI-powered experiences. We work shoulder-to-shoulder with client teams to move from idea to production quickly and sustainably, with a clear path to scale. Our teams bring product leadership, experience design, architecture, engineering, quality, and delivery expertise together in integrated pods. We partner close to the business, create clarity in complex environments, and focus on measurable outcomes, not just deliverables. At Modus, Product Leadership exists to turn intent into outcomes. We create clarity in complexity, make tradeoffs explicit, guide teams toward measurable adoption and business impact, and help clients make better decisions as delivery moves forward.

Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced Product Leader who can independently lead product delivery within a client team, bringing together product thinking, business analysis, and delivery discipline to turn business intent into clear, buildable, and measurable outcomes. You will operate as a strong individual contributor across the product delivery lifecycle. You will frame problems and outcomes, run focused discovery, translate intent into high-quality requirements, facilitate stakeholder decisions, manage delivery risks and dependencies, and follow work through release and adoption. You should be comfortable working across engineering, experience design, quality, business stakeholders, and delivery teams without relying on formal authority.

Bonus Points

• Consulting experience or experience working directly with external clients.
• Experience supporting digital product builds, modernization efforts, enterprise platforms, or custom software delivery.
• Experience operating in waterfall, phase-gated, regulated, or governance-heavy environments while helping teams work iteratively.
• Experience with Jira, Azure DevOps, Confluence, Miro, Figma, or similar product and delivery collaboration tools.
• Experience working with distributed teams across multiple time zones.
• Experience with process mapping, stakeholder mapping, decision logs, risk narratives, executive readouts, or delivery operating models.
• Experience using AI-enabled tools to improve discovery, analysis, requirements clarity, documentation, delivery flow, or decision support.

You'll Love This Role If:

• You enjoy bringing product thinking, business analysis discipline, and delivery leadership together to help teams make better decisions and execute with confidence.
• You are comfortable independently owning your work while knowing when to seek guidance or elevate.
• You can turn ambiguity into clear, actionable product direction without waiting for perfect information.
• You are friendly and collaborative, but not passive.
• You are proactive without creating unnecessary noise.
• You can read the room, spot unspoken constraints, and adapt your communication style to move work forward.
• You enjoy creating structure, decision flow, and delivery rhythm without making the process heavy.
• You believe strong requirements, explicit tradeoffs, and steady delivery cadence allow teams to move faster with confidence.
• You care about adoption, usage, and business impact, not just shipped scope.

Deployment is not the finish line. Adoption is.
