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
  • About You

  • You come from an excellent company with a genuinely high product bar
  • Still an operator: you can personally scope, spec, and ship
  • Highly organized and detail-oriented: you bring the structure and process a fast-moving team needs, without ceremony
