About The Position

The Vice President, Product is the senior leader accountable for translating Ambyint's business strategy, customer needs and technology advantage into a focused product portfolio that drives adoption, recurring revenue growth and durable market differentiation. The VP will lead Product Management and Product Operations to scale the product operating model the team has adopted and ensure disciplined decisions across discovery, prioritization, development, launch and lifecycle management. Working as a peer to Operations, Engineering, Customer Success, Business Development, Sales & Marketing, this leader will align the organization around the product vision and roadmap, strengthen the connection between customer evidence and investment decisions, and build a high-performing product organization capable of scaling through its next stage of growth. We have a proven autonomy engine and a decade of real operating data. The next chapter is extending that engine across more of a well's life, and turning our data into predictive reliability and economics operators can verify. We need a product leader to own that path. This is a player-coach role. You inherit a product vision, a North Star and a product operating model the team has adopted. In your first year you will personally lead discovery with operators while building a lean team of product managers and Product Operations.

Nice To Haves

The gratification of a job well done comes from the satisfaction of your ‘customers’
It’s in your nature to be efficient and do it really well, while you always deliver on what you promise
Your strengths come from collaborating with others
Continuous learning and improvement are part of your mantra
You are curious, creative, biased for action, and love solving problems
You don’t assume that you are the best and have the humility to learn from others

Responsibilities

Own and evolve Ambyint's product vision and strategy, lead the sequencing of bets across the life of the well, and maintain an outcome-based portfolio roadmap, aligned with company strategy, market opportunity and financial objectives.
Translate strategic priorities into clear product bets, sequencing decisions and investment recommendations, balancing growth, customer value, platform scale, technical health and risk.
Establish portfolio governance and decision rights so the organization can make transparent, evidence-based trade-offs and stop, start or accelerate work with discipline.
Partner with the Co-CEOs and executive team on annual planning, Board materials, operating reviews and product investment decisions.
Build a rigorous product management practice spanning market discovery, customer research, problem framing, discovery that retires value, usability, feasibility and viability risk before build, and outcome-based roadmaps.
Develop a deep understanding of lean production teams managing large well counts (field operators, production engineers and asset leaders), economic buyers, workflows and decision criteria across Ambyint's target markets.
Ensure product teams validate measurable customer problems and expected commercial value before committing significant development capacity.
Create a continuous customer-feedback system involving Customer Success, Sales, field teams and strategic customers while retaining clear product decision accountability.
Give usability the same rigour as value: field and engineering workflows that work at the wellsite and at the desk.
Co-lead Product Operations with the Head of Product Operations (reporting to you) as the connective infrastructure for planning, prioritization, release readiness, product data, tooling, governance and cross-functional communication.
Implement a consistent product development operating cadence from discovery through launch and post-launch learning, with clear decision rights, firm commitments only where dates genuinely matter, and a quarterly look-back on committed vs. delivered vs. KPI movement.
Improve organizational visibility and reliability on the commitments that matter, without adding unnecessary process or limiting innovation.
Establish effective product tooling, documentation standards, portfolio reporting and knowledge management that can scale with the company.
Partner with Sales, Marketing and Customer Success to define market segments, positioning, packaging, pricing inputs, launch plans and enablement for new and existing offerings.
Connect roadmap priorities to revenue growth, retention, expansion, implementation success and customer time to value.
Shape how Ambyint's software and domain expertise combine to deliver operator outcomes, and how that model scales.
Strengthen product-market fit by using market intelligence, competitive analysis, win-loss insights and customer outcomes to guide decisions.
Represent the product strategy with customers, partners, investors and the Board when required.
Partner closely with Engineering leadership to align product outcomes, architectural direction, platform scalability, security, reliability and delivery capacity. Work to written decision rights: Product owns which problems we solve, for whom and in what order; Engineering owns how we build and technical feasibility.
Guide the responsible application of AI and automation in the product by considering model performance, explainability, data quality, customer trust and operational safety.
Lead the adoption of AI-accelerated product discovery and delivery, shortening the path from idea to validated to shipped.
Balance differentiated innovation with the platform standardization required to support repeatable deployment and efficient growth.
Ensure product priorities reflect real-world industrial workflows, integration requirements and operational constraints.
Design and scale the Product organization, including role clarity, structure, workforce plans, capability requirements and succession depth across Product Management and Product Operations.
Build empowered, durable product teams and give each outcome-based objectives tied to the North Star, rather than feature assignments.
Recruit, coach and retain strong product leaders and practitioners; set clear expectations and build a culture of ownership, curiosity, humility and measurable outcomes.
Create strong interfaces and decision rights across Product, Engineering, Sales, Marketing, Customer Success and Solutions Engineering.
Lead through growth and change with transparent communication, sound judgment and a willingness to make difficult prioritization decisions.
