Head Of Product (Founding Team)

Head of Product (Founding Team)

Stealth Startup

I’m seeking a head of product for a new venture I’m launching to enable 50MM+ expert-knowledge workers to more easily engage in fractional work. I’m a serial founder and part of a small team that is incubating new ventures. Prior to our current work, we have built two companies from PPT to acquisition. Prior companies were backed by top venture funds and we have commitments from former investors to back this new business.

The startup I’m launching supports expert-level knowledge workers who want to do some form of fractional work – either on-the-side or full-time. There are 20M expert-level knowledge workers already engaged in this type of work, but a much bigger market of them who want in but struggle to get started. Existing gig economy infrastructure and SaaS products don’t address the unique needs of this market. My prior startups include freelance marketplaces and SaaS for freelancers, and I see an opportunity to build a very different company in this huge market. We’ve built an early product with strong user feedback, and we have a clear point of view on the product we need to build for scale. I’m now building a team to bring this to market.

I’m looking for a world-class product leader to join the founding team who fits this description:

• 8+ years professional experience; 4+ in product design or product strategy
• Experience building SaaS products with product-led growth, ideally having owned design from zero to one
• Strong User Experience background with the ability to build end-to-end user experienced with for complex systems
• Strong User Interface design background; ability to own full UI design of a responsive web app in Figma
• Demonstrated evidence of being able to excel as a product leader; capable of working directly with engineering
• Lots of startup experience - you’ve been a part of early stage startups – perhaps on the founding team before – and you love the zero to one startup culture and ambiguity
• Deep focus on the customer - Plenty of evidence of working backwards from customer needs, diving deep into market and customer research to understand what to build and what to adjust.
• World-class communicator - You communicate incredibly well both verbally and in writing. You take pride in how you communicate and this is one of your superpowers.
