[Remote] VP, Product Management

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. LaunchDarkly is hiring a VP of Product Management to lead its product management organization across every product pillar. The role translates company strategy into a coherent portfolio, reliable roadmap delivery, customer adoption, and commercial outcomes.

Responsibilities

• Lead cross-functional product leadership. Serve as the product counterpart to Engineering, Product Design, Marketing, Sales, Customer Success, and Finance. Resolve cross-functional tradeoffs, establish shared commitments, and ensure LaunchDarkly presents one coherent product strategy to customers and the market
• Build and lead the product management organization. Design the organization intentionally, allocate resources effectively, maintain a high talent bar, build succession plans, and establish clear ownership for every product surface a customer or sales representative may ask about
• Own the product operating system. Establish the cadence that turns strategy into shipped software and met goals, including quarterly commitments, leadership reviews, squad-level inspection, launch briefs, new product introduction (NPI), and the product-to-field handoff. Make execution predictable enough that the executive team does not have to ask whether something shipped
• Drive roadmap delivery across every product pillar. Lead execution across Enterprise, Foundation, Observability, Experimentation, Agent Control, Automation, and the platform beneath them. Build a culture of doing what we say we are going to do
• Create portfolio discipline without slowing the company down. Ensure new bets enter the portfolio through explicit decisions rather than hallway conversations, while preserving the flexibility to respond to market changes. Marketing dates should be commitments the product organization can confidently support
• Drive finishing. A product is not done when version one ships; it is done when the team has iterated based on learning. A launch is not done when it ships; it is done when the field is amplifying it. A process is not done when it is written; it is done when it creates leverage for the team
• Own packaging execution and commercial outcomes. Lead how pricing and packaging land in the product and in the field so every representative can sell the full platform and every pillar contributes to its commercial goals
• Stay close to customers and the field. Spend time with the largest customers and most demanding evaluators, translate what you learn into product decisions, and build a process that brings customer and field insight into the roadmap at scale
• Use AI to increase product and engineering leverage. Help the organization adopt AI-assisted development and product practices in ways that increase delivery speed while maintaining quality and judgment

Skills

• Minimum of  15+ years of experience in Product Management, including 7+ years leading Product Managers and product leaders across a multi-product B2B platform**
• Experience leading Product Management at the VP, SVP, or equivalent level across a multi-product B2B platform
• Experience leading a product management organization of 20 or more product managers at a company with approximately $100M to $500M in revenue
• A track record of building and developing a product organization, rather than simply inheriting one
• Demonstrated ability to turn company strategy into a reliable operating system that delivers roadmap commitments and measurable business outcomes
• Experience working with a founder or visionary executive and converting a high volume of ideas into a sequenced, resourced portfolio
• Experience building products for engineering organizations and selling to CTOs, platform leaders, and data science teams
• Strong commercial fluency, including experience owning or materially influencing pricing, packaging, attach, expansion, and go-to-market execution
• Experience balancing enterprise and self-serve motions, including an understanding of what drives a large enterprise expansion and what creates value for a developer on a free plan
• Practical experience using AI agents in your own work and applying AI-native approaches to product management or software development
• You should have clear opinions about how AI changes product management, supported by things you have shipped
• Demonstrated ability to lead through ambiguity, make decisions with incomplete information, and improve delivery speed without compromising product quality
