We are seeking a hands-on Vice President of Product to lead and scale the product organization during a critical growth phase. This role is central to shaping product strategy, building a scalable operating model, and embedding AI-first, customer-centric thinking across the company. The organization is a high-growth B2B SaaS company at Series B stage with $100M+ ARR, transitioning from founder-led product leadership to a mature, expert-led structure. The VP of Product will take ownership of the product function, drive execution, and ensure innovation and developer experience remain core as the company scales.

Location: Remote (East Coast or Central US time zones required)
Employment Type: Full-time
Work Authorization: Must be authorized to work in the United States
Seniority Level: Executive / Senior Leadership
Mission & Context
This is not a large-enterprise oversight role. The company is looking for a builder and operator — someone who enjoys staying close to customers, product details, and execution, especially during the early transition phase. The role is newly critical as the company scales beyond founder-led product management into a structured, AI-driven product organization.
