prefect - Director of Product

• You will be our most senior dedicated product person, responsible for making our three products work as one coherent portfolio. You'll build our discovery and validation practices and coach our engineers on the product side of their work. You won't inherit a product org and instead will arrive as a team of one inside an engineering-led company. • This role will report to our Head of Engineering, Jenny. • Drive product decisions for shared surfaces across our products such as where certain enterprise features live and what consolidated auth and billing will look like. You will work with product leads (typically Engineering Directors) to align each product's roadmap to the company vision. • Build our product discovery practice - user conversations, customer signal, and problem validation. You don't run every conversation yourself but you set the standard for how discovery gets done, facilitate it across surfaces, and coach engineers to run their own user conversations well. You'll be a key partner to engineers in framing problems and help ground what we choose to build in customer evidence. • Coach the product side of our product engineers - our model asks engineers to carry real product judgment, and you raise that bar across the org helping engineers to frame problems, weigh evidence, talk to users, and decide what not to build. • Design and own the system for measuring the success of what we ship. This includes defining what "it worked" means and the practice of validating after launch. You make sure that post launch validation happens and happens honestly. And that what we learn feeds back into what we build next.
