Head of Product

Sharp Performance

About The Position

Sharp Performance is hiring a Head of Product to own our product vision, strategy, and roadmap, and to build a product that first responders want to open every day. You will report to the CEO and work with Engineering, Design, Sales, Customer Success, and our coaching team to take product from founder-led to a disciplined, customer-driven function that balances consumer-grade craft with the realities of selling to agencies. This is not a role you run from behind a dashboard. Our customers are cops and firefighters, and the person who wins here wants to be in the room with them: at the station, at the academy, on the ride-along, learning what they need by watching them use it. You are technical enough to go deep with engineering and earn their respect. You reason from the customer and the data, not from opinion. You have the backbone to tell the CEO no when the data says no, and the judgment to bring a better option when you do. You carry the craft of a great consumer product into a B2B world that rarely sees it.

Requirements

Led the development of more than one product through real, high growth, not a single feature.
Built for business buyers and hold the craft bar of a great consumer product.
Technical fluency: can hold a detailed conversation with engineering and earn their respect.
Customer obsession: time in the field with cops and firefighters energizes you rather than inconveniences you.
Backbone: tell the CEO no when the data says no, and bring a better option.
Range from strategy to hands-on execution in an early-stage, fast-moving company.

Nice To Haves

Experience in public safety, govtech, digital health, or human performance is a strong plus, not a requirement.

Responsibilities

Own Sharp's product strategy end to end: what we build, why, and in what order.
Hold a high bar for quality and experience and build a B2B product with the polish of the best consumer apps.
Reason from the customer and the data when tradeoffs are hard, explain them clearly, and make a real recommendation, even when it is unpopular.
Stay close to the user by sitting with cops and firefighters, watching them use the product, and turning what you see into a clear, prioritized signal for what to build next.
Define the outcomes and metrics that tell us whether the product is extending the service-life of the people who use it.
Partner across the company and build the team.
Hold detailed technical conversations with engineering and weigh architecture and effort honestly.
Align Sales, Customer Success, and coaching so the roadmap reflects what the market and our users need.
Start hands-on as a player-coach, then hire, coach, and develop the product team as Sharp scales.
