VP of Product (AI-First B2B SaaS | Developer-Focused Products) (Remote)
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

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.
Key Responsibilities
• Product Leadership & Strategy
• Own end-to-end product vision and execution for a portfolio of developer tools and technical products
• Position the company as AI-first, ensuring AI capabilities are thoughtfully embedded into roadmap and strategy
• Partner with executive leadership to scale product expertise across the organization
• Team Leadership & Structure
• Lead and develop 4 Product Managers (growing to 5) and 2–3 Designers
• Manage 6–10 direct reports
• Establish clear operating rhythms, supervision processes, and decision frameworks
• Build a strong communication structure within the product team and across functions
• Hands-On Product Ownership
• Engage directly with customers to validate needs and guide prioritization
• Learn the product deeply before delegating
• Partner closely with engineering to ensure technical feasibility and scalability
• Maintain balance between strategic leadership and operational execution
• Cross-Functional Collaboration
• Work closely with Engineering, Solutions Engineering, Sales, and Marketing
• Ensure strong alignment between product, customer needs, and market positioning
• Improve speed and quality of product decision-making at scale
Required Qualifications
• Strong technical background in software engineering
• Proven experience building and scaling developer tools or developer-focused products
• Experience in high-growth B2B SaaS environments (ideally at or beyond $100M ARR)
• Prior leadership experience managing 6–10 direct reports
• Demonstrated hands-on operator mindset
• Comfortable working across time zones with occasional early-morning meetings
• Willingness to travel 8–10 weeks per year
• Without a strong technical foundation, developer-product experience, and leadership at scale, candidates should not proceed.
Core Competencies
• Product leadership
• AI-first thinking
• Customer-centric product development
• Cross-functional collaboration
• Technical feasibility awareness
• Scalability mindset
• Developer experience excellence
• Clear and structured communication
Equity & Benefits
• Equity: ~0.5% ownership (approx. ~$1M USD at current valuation)

• Remote flexibility within required time zones
Ideal Candidate Profile
• Builder mindset, not purely executive oversight
• Experience transitioning product organizations into scalable structures
• Comfortable operating in a high-growth SaaS environment
• Strong blend of strategic thinking and execution discipline
• Able to mentor and elevate senior PMs while staying close to product details
