About AutoReturn

Operator of an online auction platform intended to execute simplified buying and selling of vehicles. The company's platform allows impounds and tow yards around the United States to list vehicles for auction, enabling people to buy unclaimed vehicles. Backed by Pelion Venture Partners.

About the role

We are hiring a VP of Product to own our entire product portfolio and lead the next chapter of how Autura builds. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone as comfortable prototyping in the tools as they are setting strategy. You will unify a broad, multi-product surface into a coherent platform, install a modern discovery and delivery model, and build a product organization that ships faster than anyone in our category. You report directly to the CEO and partner as a peer with our CTO.

What they're looking for

  • Install a modern operating model: close to customers, evidence-driven prioritization, spec-driven and prototype-first development, and continuous shipping in place of long waterfall launches
  • Use AI to compress the path from idea to working software: rapid prototypes, working API specs with mock data for engineering to build against, and agentic tooling that collapses cycle time
  • Drive the growth bets that expand Autura beyond its core, including embedded payments and fintech opportunities in the towing vertical, and marketplace monetization
