About The Position

This is the seat that turns vision into a running business. You will work directly with the founder as the operational counterpart to his direction, owning the day to day across the product business so it runs on systems rather than on his attention. The role spans two worlds. On the operations side, you install and hold the operating cadence, build the systems that let the company scale, and keep the team accountable to outcomes. On the product side, you own product management across the portfolio. You bring the rare combination of a marketing and technology background, an eye for good product, and the operational discipline to make a small company run like a much larger one.

Requirements

• A career that blends marketing and technology, so you understand both how products get built and how they get sold.
• A strong eye for UI and UX, ideally with a design background or hands-on design experience.
• Comfort working alongside technology and product teams, without needing to be deeply technical yourself.
• Fluency with AI as a daily working tool, with strong prompting and custom Claude Projects or comparable workflows you have built to get real work done.
• Hands-on experience running EOS, OKRs, or a similar operating system inside a real company.
• A track record of operational excellence, with examples of processes you built that made a team faster, cleaner, and more accountable.
• Product management experience across more than one product, with the judgment to prioritize across competing roadmaps.
• The range and judgment of a senior operations leader who can own the entire operation, from systems and team to product and growth.

Nice To Haves

• Terminal level skills and a developer background are a bonus, not a requirement.
• A strong bonus if you have already built, scaled, and exited a software company, because you will recognize this path from the inside and know where it tends to bend.

Responsibilities

• Install and hold the operating cadence, build the systems that let the company scale, and keep the team accountable to outcomes.
• Own product management across the portfolio.
• Run the company on EOS, OKRs, or a hybrid that fits how the team works.
• Own the weekly cadence, the scorecard, and the accountability chart, and hold people to their commitments.
• Map and document the core processes for the business and each of its products, then improve them so output per dollar and per hour keeps climbing as the company grows.
• Own a single prioritized roadmap across the product portfolio, translate strategy into shipped work, and keep status visible so nothing stalls in the gap between idea and release.
• Bring a strong sense of UI and UX to every product decision and hold the bar on what good looks like, whether you are shaping it yourself or directing the people who do.
• Stand up the marketing and go-to-market motions that produce new sales quickly, giving the business the momentum that funds its next stage of growth.
• Build the operational backbone that supports growth, and grow a small team beneath you as the company expands.
