Head of Product

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• Take ownership of product strategy and transform Archive's company vision and growth objectives into a comprehensive multi-quarter roadmap with prioritization across the platform.

• Propel scalable product development throughout the entire Archive ecosystem: consumer shopping, peer-to-peer marketplace, trade-in and managed-resale supply, retail point-of-sale, brand and admin tools, warehouse + 3PL visibility, customer support, and data analytics.

• Establish clear boundaries between standard and custom requirements to prevent enterprise demands from quietly taking over the roadmap.

• Serve as the sole authority on product prioritization, ensuring that strategy remains sharp and that the founders are not involved in daily product decisions.

• Focus on business outcomes, prioritizing initiatives that significantly impact GMV, supply, demand, and brand margin, rather than solely customer satisfaction.

• Make tough decisions with clarity and create sustainable decision-making frameworks as the organization scales.

• Proactively investigate how AI and agentic capabilities can influence our development processes and product offerings.

• Challenge conventional product definitions and reconstruct them where it fosters genuine leverage.

• Collaborate closely with Engineering as an equal partner to ensure alignment in strategy, sequencing, and execution.

• Spearhead cross-functional planning with Engineering, Design, Implementation, and Internal Operations to ensure successful launches.

• Establish a product workflow that translates customer and business needs into delivered outcomes, complete with clear metrics and accountability.

• Enhance product communication throughout the organization, detailing what we are building, its significance, and any changes occurring.

• Recruit, develop, and lead a high-performing product team, while collaborating closely with Design.

• Elevate product quality and autonomy, while defining the operational standards for the team.

⛳️ Requirements

• Proven experience as a Head of Product or in a similar role, having taken ownership of product strategy and built and led a team.

• Strong commercial insight: an instinctive understanding of what drives GMV, supply, and demand, with a tendency to scope and prioritize initiatives based on business outcomes.

• Background in a rapidly growing B2B SaaS or marketplace setting.

• Experience in creating product operating systems: roadmap frameworks, prioritization methodologies, or planning processes that enhance speed and clarity.

• Proficient in AI-oriented product thinking: a strong belief in AI, hands-on experience in integrating it into product ecosystems, and a willingness to rethink product development from the ground up instead of adapting outdated approaches.

• Strong product judgment and prioritization skills; capable of saying "no / not yet" while maintaining trust.

• Experience in developing configurable, enterprise-facing platforms that exhibit significant technical depth and complexity.

• Exceptional cross-functional leadership skills; you work collaboratively with Engineering, Design, Implementation, and GTM teams.

• An outstanding communicator, able to tailor narratives for executive audiences.
