Responsibilities

• You run the company on EOS, OKRs, or a hybrid that fits how the team works
• You own the weekly cadence, the scorecard, and the accountability chart, and you hold people to their commitments
• You map and document the core processes for the business and each of its products, then improve them so output per dollar and per hour keeps climbing as the company grows
• You own a single prioritized roadmap across the product portfolio, translate strategy into shipped work, and keep status visible so nothing stalls in the gap between idea and release
• You bring a strong sense of UI and UX to every product decision and hold the bar on what good looks like, whether you are shaping it yourself or directing the people who do
• You stand up the marketing and go-to-market motions that produce new sales quickly, giving the business the momentum that funds its next stage of growth
• You build the operational backbone that supports growth, and you grow a small team beneath you as the company expands
• Install the Operating System
• Stand up EOS or OKRs with a weekly cadence and a live scorecard, so the team runs on a rhythm everyone can see
• Capture the core processes for each product and get the team following them, so the business runs on systems rather than memory
• Bring the portfolio onto one prioritized roadmap with status visible, so everyone knows what is shipping and when
• Build the go-to-market motions that bring in new sales, giving the role momentum and funding its growth

Skills

• A career that blends marketing and technology, so you understand both how products get built and how they get sold
• A strong eye for UI and UX, ideally with a design background or hands-on design experience
• Comfort working alongside technology and product teams, without needing to be deeply technical yourself. Terminal level skills and a developer background are a bonus, not a requirement
• Fluency with AI as a daily working tool, with strong prompting and custom Claude Projects or comparable workflows you have built to get real work done
• Hands-on experience running EOS, OKRs, or a similar operating system inside a real company
• A track record of operational excellence, with examples of processes you built that made a team faster, cleaner, and more accountable
• Product management experience across more than one product, with the judgment to prioritize across competing roadmaps
• The range and judgment of a senior operations leader who can own the entire operation, from systems and team to product and growth
• A strong bonus if you have already built, scaled, and exited a software company, because you will recognize this path from the inside and know where it tends to bend
