We are looking for a Product Team Lead to drive and scale our SMB product offering. You will be responsible for defining and executing our offering for small and medium businesses globally. We need a Product Team Lead who is ready to tackle the challenge of guiding an early-stage B2C product towards market fit, delivering high-quality user experiences, and meeting ambitious business goals. You'll be responsible for defining and implementing the product strategy, setting and measuring key results, and ensuring the team remains focused on outcomes that drive growth.

As an experienced PM, you will operate seamlessly between the big-picture strategy and the hands-on detail, knowing when to drive broad initiatives and when to focus on refining the user experience. This product, which is heavily UX-driven and self-serve, demands someone who understands the intricacies of heavy interface products and can navigate the full journey—from idea to validated, scalable solution.

Responsibilities

  • Define and execute product strategy: Develop the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for both desktop and mobile platforms to achieve ambitious business goals and reach market fit
  • Drive iterative development: Lead the team in building, testing, and refining the product, with a focus on ensuring a seamless user experience across both desktop and mobile interfaces
  • Engage with management: Collaborate closely with executive management to align product strategy with company objectives and provide regular strategic updates
  • Data-driven decision making: Establish KPIs, analyze data, and use insights to drive decision-making and ensure alignment with key results
  • Cross-functional leadership: Work closely with engineering, design, marketing, operations, and other product teams to deliver value constantly and iteratively
  • Lead and mentor the team: Inspire, guide, and mentor product managers, cultivating a culture of customer focus, experimentation, and continuous learning

Requirements

Requirements:

  • 8+ years of Product Management experience, particularly with early-stage SMB or B2C products, from inception through to achieving market fit, with a strong track record of setting ambitious product strategies and roadmaps
  • Experience with UI-heavy, self-serve products on desktop, responsive and native platforms, with a user-centric approach that includes an eye for detail and a passion for creating intuitive and engaging user experiences
  • Data expertise and strategic thinking: Strong analytical skills with the ability to define, track success metrics, and use data to make informed decisions. Able to interpret data and connect it to high-level business goals
  • Experience working with Agile development teams and leveraging experimentation, A/B testing, and user insights to inform product decisions and foster continuous iteration
  • Strong ability to navigate between high-level strategy and hands-on execution,
  • Demonstrated experience in working effectively with executive management for alignment and communicating complex ideas clearly
  • Leadership and collaboration: Proven experience mentoring product managers, leading cross-functional teams, and collaborating across marketing, design, engineering, and operations. Strong communication, presentation skills, and a collaborative nature
  • Team player who can also take independent initiative, comfortable with ambiguity and change in a fast-paced, iterative environment
