Job description
The Opportunity:
Join the revolution transforming the $6T professional services industry at Collective OS, a venture-backed SaaS platform building the infrastructure for the future of work. As Head of Product, you’ll drive the strategic evolution of a rapidly growing platform that connects companies with trusted external experts and partnered agencies in an increasingly decentralized world.
Collective OS is post-launch, with a validated product-market fit, experiencing rapid growth, and is positioned to scale dramatically. With full-time employees being replaced by agile teams of external specialists, and AI accelerating the shift to distributed collaboration, companies urgently need a system of record for discovering and managing high-trust vendor networks. You’ll own this massive opportunity.
Reporting directly to the CEO, you’ll lead the complete product lifecycle while working cross-functionally with engineering, design, marketing, and customer success. This builder role demands someone who can balance strategic vision with hands-on execution, thriving in ambiguity while scaling usage, deepening engagement, and launching new monetization layers.
As Collective OS grows, you’ll evolve from hands-on product leader to head of the broader product function, building and managing the team that will define the future of professional services collaboration.
What You’ll Do: Strategize, Execute, Scale 🚀
- Own the Complete Product Strategy: You will drive the entire product strategy and roadmap across the Collective OS platform, balancing immediate delivery with long-term vision while guiding the company through rapid growth. Your strategic thinking paired with hands-on execution will be essential as you collaborate with design and engineering to transform user insights into clear specifications, exceptional flows, and compelling experiences.
- Lead Discovery and Build Processes: You will uncover real user pain points through comprehensive research and discovery, establishing scalable delivery processes for planning, prioritization, QA, and release cycles. Your operational excellence ensures the team ships high-quality features consistently while maintaining startup speed and agility.
- Drive Business Impact: You will partner across the business to ensure product-market fit, successful launches, and strong adoption while working directly with the CEO to shape monetization strategies that drive revenue growth. Your ability to establish and track KPIs will optimize feature impact and inform continuous iteration.
- Scale the Product Function: As Collective OS grows, you will build and lead the broader product organization, recruiting and developing team members while evolving from hands-on product leader to head of a comprehensive product function.
What You’ve Done: Led, Built, Scaled 💡
- Product Leadership Excellence: You bring 6+ years of product management experience with 2+ years leading product teams in B2B, SaaS, or platform environments. Your track record demonstrates consistent ability to build and scale digital products while growing product-market fit and accelerating growth through network effects.
- User-Centric Development: You have hands-on experience conducting user interviews, building with design partners, and iterating rapidly in early product stages. Your mastery of Agile development, product discovery methodologies, and user research frameworks ensures you can balance strategic vision with tactical execution.
- Communication and Growth: You possess exceptional storytelling abilities, with proven success in aligning stakeholders around a shared vision, while thriving in high-growth, fast-moving environments where ambiguity and rapid adaptation are essential to success.
What Sets You Apart: Vision, Execution, Impact 🎯
- Data-Driven Product Instincts: Your strong product intuition is backed by a rigorous commitment to data analysis, experimentation, and continuous learning. You make informed decisions based on evidence while trusting experienced judgment when data is incomplete.
- Technical and Domain Expertise: Experience with analytics platforms, system architecture, AI-driven products, or professional services environments represents a significant advantage. Familiarity with LLMs, AI/ML implementation, social networking platforms, or data-centric tools would be highly valuable for Collective OS’s technology-forward approach.
- Mission Alignment: Genuine enthusiasm for building tools that empower specialists and unlock new forms of collaborative work drives authentic product innovation and a deep understanding of how experts and agencies operate in distributed environments.
