Director of Product Management

In this role, your responsibilities will include

• Defining and evangelizing the product roadmap, ensuring every feature aligns with Hiive’s long-term business goals and marketplace dynamics.
• Partnering with the Director of Product Design and Engineering leadership to optimize the SDLC, ensuring a seamless flow from discovery to delivery.
• Recruiting, mentoring, and scaling a team of Product Managers, fostering a culture of rigorous thinking, data-informed decision-making, and "extreme ownership."
• Acting as the primary bridge between Product and cross-functional partners in Sales, Marketing, and Operations to ensure successful GTM execution.
• Implementing and refining mental models for prioritization (e.g., balancing "customer delight" vs. "technical debt" vs. "revenue growth").
• Establishing a gold standard for how the team uses data to validate hypotheses and measure the ROI of shipped features.

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years of Product Management experience, with at least 3+ years in a dedicated leadership or people-management role within a high-growth startup environment.
• Experience scaling products from early traction to significant market share, specifically within complex ecosystems.
• Expert-level ability to query data, define KPIs, and use BI tools to drive product strategy (we believe "gut feel" is a starting point, not a destination).
• The ability to distill complex technical or business trade-offs into clear, actionable narratives for executive stakeholders.
• Deep understanding of how changes in one part of a system (e.g., a marketplace) ripple through to affect user behavior and business health.

Preferred Qualifications

• Deep knowledge of liquidity, clearing, or complex transactional platforms.
• A background in Software Engineering or a deep technical understanding of modern API-first architectures.
• Advanced experience with Amplitude, SQL, and Figma to facilitate close collaboration with our Design and Data teams.
• Experience managing the nuances of high-touch enterprise customers alongside a scalable product vision.
