Director of Product, Frame.io

About The Position

As a Director of Product, you will define and drive a compelling product vision that delivers exceptional value to customers and sets a high bar for product excellence. You will lead the strategy, roadmap, and execution for key product areas, with a focus on building intuitive, high-quality experiences powered by modern technologies, including AI.

You will work in ambiguous spaces, rapidly test ideas, and build momentum from first principles. We’re looking for a product leader who thrives in 0→1 environments , brings a strong point of view, and can turn incomplete ideas into meaningful, customer-loved products.

Requirements

You are known for bringing ideas, not just executing them, you love a blank canvas, question defaults and past decisions, and are comfortable getting it wrong -- and learning quickly.
Demonstrated experience in 0→1 or ambiguous product areas , not just scaling existing products
Evidence of creating new product directions or categories , not just optimizing within them
Strong bias for action—history of shipping quickly, learning, and iterating

Excellent judgment and prioritization skills, with the ability to make decisions in ambiguous environments

Operate with urgency and resourcefulness , making progress even with incomplete information, limited resources, or evolving direction
Rapidly prototype, test, and iterate , using lightweight approaches to validate ideas before scaling
Generate original product ideas grounded in real customer problems—not just react to requests or trends.
Champion a customer-obsessed approach , focusing on developing early customer champions for net new product capabilities or surfaces
Challenge assumptions and existing approaches , bringing fresh thinking rather than incremental improvements
Turn ambiguous problems into concrete opportunities , defining both the problem and the path forward
Synthesize signals across customers, data, and technology to spot non-obvious opportunities
Use AI as a building material , not just a feature—reimagining workflows and user experiences
Lead the development of world-class product experiences , balancing usability, performance, and innovation
Leverage AI tools and emerging technologies creatively to accelerate development and unlock new product experiences
Make smart tradeoffs between speed and quality—knowing when to go fast vs go deep
Use data, experimentation, and qualitative insights to inform decisions and continuously improve the product
