PRODUCT DIRECTOR

Position Responsibilities:

As the Product Director, you will report directly to both the CEO and Executive Chairman and serve on the senior executive leadership team. This position will initially be an “individual contributor” role (i.e. no direct reports); however you will be expected to lead our “product committee” which will include leaders and stakeholders from multiple departments across the company.  If you perform well in this role, we will invest in new hires in the product department and you will be eligible for promotion to VP of Product. 

Your mission will be to not only lead, but also to project-manage the strategically-planned ‘productization process' of converting our legacy managed service offerings into scalable products that can be delivered to thousands of clients nationwide by focusing on the 12 market segments that we have identified.

Develop product strategies that can improve our competitive advantage. 

Product Development: develop “sticky” recurring-revenue products for each of our 12 market segment based on findings from your market research.  Develop products that can be sold via annual and multi-year contracts with associated pricing structures to optimize contribution margins and maximize recurring revenue (MRR and ARR).  Coordinate with operations and technology leaders to execute the automated delivery of these products.  Design premium products capable of executing a “price-leadership” strategy. 

Product Marketing: develop go-to-market strategies, client personas, and client journey maps in advance of each product launch including: training materials, talking points, and sales collateral for the marketing, sales, and client success teams. Hold internal product training sessions to educate employees on how new products work and how they should be positioning them with clients and prospects. 

Product Lifecycle Management: manage our entire product portfolio life cycle by recommending annual updates to client service contracts and features. Analyze multiple data sources to calculate price elasticity and optimize pricing models based on multivariable regression analysis.
