💼 Job Description
Chariot is at an inflection point: three product lines (DAFpay, Gift Processing, Disbursements), $1.8B+ in annualized payment volume, and a product function that has been founder-led to date.
You'll own the product function at the highest level: the company-visible roadmap, prioritization across surfaces, product analytics, process, and team structure. You'll build the roadmapping and metrics discipline the company runs on — and grow and lead a small (soon larger) PM team.
This is not a pure leadership perch. Like everyone at Chariot, you stay hands-on: close to customers, close to the product, personally owning the most important problem statements while operating above the individual product areas and making everything fit together cohesively.
- Work with co-founders to clarify, execute, and measure progress towards product strategy and vision
- Decide where product should head and ensure every surface's work adds up to one coherent story
- Stand up the roadmapping function
- A living, company-visible roadmap; monthly cycle planning; GTM, ops, and partnerships learn about launches months before ship
- Define product metrics & forecasting
- Every problem statement has metrics the team drives toward; forecasts exist and are trusted
- Personally own top-level problem statements
- Stay in the work: scope, spec, and ship alongside the team
- Make the PM team successful
- The PMs reporting to you solve the right problems and deliver; you raise PM-to-eng leverage toward 1 PM : 2 engineers
