Forward Deployed Technical Product Manager

Own the product strategy and build a prioritization framework grounded in where Rootly needs to be competitively in 12+ months, creating a shared language for saying no that founders and GTM can trust even when it costs a deal.

Work as a true partner with engineering, GTM and leadership: one team with shared accountability, as opposed to a handoff across a fence

Build and lead the PM function: Lead and elevate Rootly’s team of strong product managers, and scale the team to support the product strategy

Raise the bar on product rigour: instil an outcomes-driven product culture where the team measures adoption and impact after every launch and feeds those learnings back into what we build next

Think beyond the next quarter: develop the competitive positioning and product thesis that helps Rootly achieve its aggressive long-term growth goals

Be the single point of accountability for what we build and what we don't: say no with clear reasoning that drives trust across the entire business

8+ years of product management experience with increasing leadership scope in B2B SaaS, including experience building and leading a PM team

You've set product strategy at a growth-stage company: owned the "what" and the "why," not just executed a plan handed to you

You’re craft-obsessed with strong product instincts. You stay close to the product and move fluidly between long-term strategy and the details, with informed, nuanced opinions on whether a specific product is good or bad and whether it’s current shape is likely to drive the right outcomes.

You have strong enough conviction to push back on a technical founder and the communication skills to make them trust your judgment more because you did

You've built prioritization systems that actually stuck and operating rhythms that product teams have internalized

You're energized by ambiguity: you take a messy landscape of competing priorities and create clarity from it
