About the role
You'll own the product function at the highest level: the company-visible roadmap, prioritization across surfaces, product analytics, process, and team structure. You'll build the roadmapping and metrics discipline the company runs on — and grow and lead the PM team.
What they're looking for
- 12+ years in product
- You've led and grown product teams, as a product leader or founder, and scaled a company from Series A to Series D or beyond (or equivalent: grew through hypergrowth, e.g. 30 → 300 people)
- You come from an excellent company with a genuinely high product bar
- Still an operator: you can personally scope, spec, and ship
- Highly organized and detail-oriented: you bring the structure and process a fast-moving team needs, without ceremony
- Technically credible: you understand what it takes to build things and can hold your own with strong engineers
More about this role
Chariot is at an inflection point: three product lines (DAFpay, Gift Processing, Disbursements), $1.8B+ in annualized payment volume, and a product function that has been founder-led to date.
You'll own the product function at the highest level: the company-visible roadmap, prioritization across surfaces, product analytics, process, and team structure. You'll build the roadmapping and metrics discipline the company runs on — and grow and lead the PM team.
This is not a pure leadership perch. Like everyone at Chariot, you stay hands-on: close to customers, close to the product, personally owning the most important problem statements while operating above the individual product areas and making everything fit together cohesively.
Work with co-founders to clarify, execute, and measure progress towards product strategy and vision
Decide where product should head and ensure every surface's work adds up to one coherent story
A living, company-visible roadmap; monthly cycle planning; GTM, ops, and partnerships learn about launches months before ship
Every problem statement has metrics the team drives toward; forecasts exist and are trusted
Stay in the work: scope, spec, and ship...
