VP of Product (Seed-Stage)
Directs product strategy and development from initial market entry through early-stage growth cycles.
Overview
The role is characterized by a rapid, iterative rhythm focused on achieving product-market fit. Daily activities fluctuate between analyzing user feedback, defining product requirements, and collaborating closely with engineering leads to prioritize features under tight resource constraints. It is an environment where long-term roadmaps are frequently adjusted based on immediate market data and investor requirements.
Success in this position requires a high tolerance for ambiguity and a blend of analytical and creative thinking. Professionals who thrive here are often generalists who can navigate technical architecture discussions one hour and go-to-market strategy meetings the next. The work is mentally demanding, requiring constant trade-offs between speed of delivery and the long-term scalability of the product platform.
