The Opportunity
Lose It! is seeking a VP of Product to own the full product experience — from the people who build it to the customers who use it. In this role, you'll lead and grow a team of product managers and UX designers, setting the bar for how great product work gets done here. This will be our most senior Product role and will report directly to the Managing Director.
You'll define our roadmap, drive prioritization across competing demands, and hold final accountability for the quality of everything we ship. That means being equally at home in a strategic planning session with the executive team and a release review with engineering — and knowing when each moment calls for vision versus decisiveness.
This isn't a role for someone who manages from a distance. You'll be deep in partnership with Engineering and Marketing, removing blockers, aligning stakeholders, and making sure ideas actually make it to market. You'll champion the user inside the organization, bring data to every major decision, and build a product culture that raises the standard over time.

- Proven ability to define and communicate product vision in a way that aligns cross-functional teams and influences senior stakeholders
- Experience partnering closely with engineering and design — comfortable holding quality standards without micromanaging execution
