Cardata

17d • $260,000 - $300,000 • Remote

About The Position

Ready to accelerate your career?
Cardata is where driven people make an outsized impact. We’re a small but mighty team transforming how businesses manage vehicle reimbursement — replacing outdated programs with smart, automated solutions.
Our vision is bold: to provide the most comprehensive, intelligent, and automated software and services for creating ideal vehicle programs. And we’re building toward that vision every single day.
Join us and you’ll find challenge, growth, and the chance to deliver real impact — helping hundreds of companies and thousands of drivers across North America focus on the work that matters most to them.
As the VP of Product, you will be a trusted voice with executives, customers, and cross-functional leaders: translating strategy into real results while advancing how we apply AI, automation, and modern discovery to scale our product and organization. You will set the vision, strategy, and execution cadence that drive measurable customer and business impact, owning the full product lifecycle: deeply understanding our users, markets, and data; defining clear priorities and outcomes; and partnering closely with Engineering and Design to deliver high-quality, scalable solutions. You’ll lead and develop a high-performing product organization, make decisive tradeoffs on scope and sequencing, and ensure teams are focused on solving the right problems.
The role is remote-first, with occasional travel to Canada for in-person collaboration, not a mandated weekly hybrid schedule. There may be select periods of the year with increased travel to support planning cycles, launches, or key initiatives.

Requirements

• 10+ years of Product Management experience, with significant time in B2B SaaS environments
• Prior experience leading and scaling Product teams, specifically developing Product Owners
• Demonstrated success building and evolving multi-persona B2B products with complex workflows
• Experience supporting or leading products through a growth phase of approximately $10M to $100M+ ARR
• Strong track record of translating strategy into execution and measurable outcomes
• Deep familiarity with Agile product development and modern product discovery practices
• Demonstrated experience applying AI, automation, or workflow intelligence to real product problems, with a strong sense of where these approaches create leverage and where they don’t
• Strong product judgment and strategic thinking, paired with pragmatic execution instincts.
• High technical fluency (APIs, systems, architecture tradeoffs)
• Excellent product sense and UX intuition; comfortable collaborating deeply with Design leadership
• Strong business acumen, with a track record of translating product decisions into measurable outcomes (e.g., GRR, NRR, ARR growth, expansion, efficiency)
• High sense of urgency and ownership, driven to move from insight to action and from roadmap to real-world impact
• Proven ability to establish and maintain strong cross-functional relationships built on trust, reliability, and consistent follow-through
• Clear, compelling communicator with executives, teams, and external stakeholders
• Highly organized, accountable, and decisive, with a bias toward action

Responsibilities

• Own the product vision and strategy, translating company goals into clear priorities, outcomes, and tradeoffs that are aligned with customer needs and market demands
• Develop and maintain deep, first-hand expertise in our product, customers, and users (how they actually work, where they struggle, and how they derive value) through interviews, deal support, escalations, and ongoing feedback loops
• Lead competitive and market intelligence analysis to inform roadmap decisions and prioritizations
• Pressure-test product strategy by regularly reviewing discovery insights, usage data, and delivery signals
• Partner tightly with Engineering and Design to ensure high-quality delivery

• Lead, mentor, and develop Product Managers and/or Product Owners, setting a high bar for ownership and product judgment.
• Establish clear expectations for product quality, discovery rigor, and delivery accountability
• Step into the weeds when needed, clarifying requirements, unblocking decisions, shaping scope, or helping teams navigate complexity
• Hold teams accountable for outcomes, not just output, using data, customer impact and revenue as the yardstick
• Identify execution gaps early and intervene constructively to get initiatives back on track
• Foster strong cross-functional trust by being decisive, transparent, and consistent
• Act as a credible, hands-on product voice with executives, customers, and internal stakeholders
• Clearly communicate roadmap decisions, progress, risks, and tradeoffs—especially in moments of constraint
