VP of Product

Leena AI • New York, NY

1d • $225,000 - $300,000

About The Position

Leena AI is hiring a VP of Product to own what the company builds, why it builds it, and how product outcomes are measured. The role reports to co-founder and CEO Adit Jain and leads the product organization across knowledge management, AI Colleague Studio, integrations, and HR, IT, and Finance agents. The company aims to turn its agentic platform into a system of record for back-office work while competing with established enterprise software providers.

The VP of Product will define the product strategy and vision for the next 24 months, determine which workflows to pursue deeply and where to remain horizontal, and translate the strategy into a multi-quarter roadmap. The role owns the product metric tree, including a north-star metric, input metrics, accountable owners, and quarterly movement targets.

The leader will set direction for the agentic platform, including AI Colleague Studio, agent orchestration, voice, and the knowledge layer, and develop integrations as a competitive advantage. They will make enterprise trust capabilities—such as data residency, audit trails, explainability, permissions, and agent guardrails—core product features. The role also connects implementation learning to future releases, partners with go-to-market teams on positioning, packaging, and pricing, and participates in strategic customer and analyst engagements.

The VP will lead and grow product managers and designers across New York and Gurugram, improve product practices, hire as the organization scales, and run planning, roadmap reviews, and launch readiness with Engineering, Design, Customer Success, and Sales. The position calls for a decisive product leader who can set strategy, make evidence-based bets, lead through contested decisions, communicate credibly with Fortune 500 executives, and build in a high-growth enterprise SaaS environment.
