TL;DR · Product Lead, New Ventures

The Product Lead, New Ventures joins the New Ventures team as a senior individual contributor to grow a new product from MVP to product-market fit. You will work directly with engineers and a design engineer to shape the product strategy, roadmap, and outcome briefs. Daily responsibilities include running weekly cycle planning, conducting customer research to identify value, and defining success metrics to guide data-driven pivots. You must simplify complex workflows and manage trade-offs regarding software development and scalability. Required skills include five years of product management experience, proficiency with AI tools for prototyping and research, and the ability to communicate with technical and non-technical audiences. The role addresses the business problem of scaling new hospitality technology experiences while ensuring high quality and operational reliability.

What you'll do

  • Shape the product strategy and roadmap to move from MVP to product-market fit and scale.
  • Own outcome briefs by framing problems, managing execution with the team, and measuring results.
  • Lead weekly cycle planning with engineers and designers to determine specific build priorities.
  • Analyze customer feedback and usage data to decide which features to prioritize or discard.
  • Define success metrics and use data to drive necessary pivots in product direction.
  • Manage quality standards by determining where to pursue perfection and where "good enough" suffices.
  • Execute scaling initiatives including onboarding, reliability, self-serve features, and integrations.
  • Coordinate with sales, marketing, and support teams on positioning, pricing, and launch strategies.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of product management experience owning a product or major area and its results.
  • Experience taking an early product from MVP to product-market fit and meaningful growth.
  • Ability to simplify complex workflows for users based on direct customer interaction.
  • Understanding of software development to weigh trade-offs, identify risks, and ask technical questions.
  • Experience working with engineering teams without a dedicated manager to own planning and priorities.
  • Proficiency in using AI tools regularly for research, analysis, and prototyping.
  • Ability to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Experience in operationally complex industries, founder experience, or building with LLMs (preferred).
