  • Develop product capabilities that deliver measurable business impact—growth, retention, revenue, and engagement.
  • Operate with accountability to KPIs such as conversion, LTV, CAC, engagement, and customer satisfaction.
  • Clearly articulate strategy, trade-offs, and impact to senior stakeholders, including the C-suite and Board.
  • Drive continuous improvement in processes, systems, and collaboration models to scale efficiently.
  • Identify and evaluate acquisition opportunities, lead diligence, and drive seamless product integration.
Required Experience, Skills and Education
  • 15+ years of product leadership experience, including at $50M–$100M+ revenue companies.
  • Experience at multiple company scales: small (<$50M), medium ($150M–$500M), and large (>$500M).
  • Proven experience and success managing and mentoring large, geographically distributed product teams and leading them through a significant growth phase at a mid-sized company.
  • Recognized thought leadership in the MarTech industry (conference speaking, published content, or strong social presence) with significant exposure to email marketing and customer engagement technologies.
  • Hands-on leadership style: able to frame a P&L, conduct a competitive analysis, and clearly articulate business growth levers.
  • Proven track record of cross-functional influence, driving organizational change and improving processes.
  • Experience across the full lifecycle of corporate development: identifying and assessing acquisition targets, driving diligence, and leading integration.
  • Experience implementing PLG (product-led growth) and unifying separate platforms into a cohesive customer experience.
  • Deep user empathy, strong product intuition, and a track record of building high-quality, design-forward products that delight.
  • Ability to synthesize data, research, and market signals into clear prioritization and product innovation.
This is a high-impact, high-visibility role requiring equal parts strategic thinking and operational excellence. You will work closely with senior leadership, engineering, design, marketing, sales, and other cross-functional teams to define and deliver a product roadmap that accelerates transformation and fully leverages AI to deliver trusted, delightful, and powerful experiences for our customers.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
