[Hiring] Chief Product & Technology Officer @Workana

Role Description

We are reinventing Workana, and we’re looking for the person who will lead Product and Technology to build the next version of our platform, with a dedicated Product and Development team to make it happen.

This is a hands-on builder role. You’ll define what we build and why, and you’ll get into the details yourself: prototyping, discussing architecture and code with the team, and using the product every day, so you always know what’s working, what isn’t, and what we should try next.

The objective is simple and ambitious: help companies and talent navigate the biggest shift in work in decades. AI is automating tasks, but most work isn’t disappearing, it’s being redesigned.

• Great talent is no longer the one who executes a task well, but the one who understands the problem, redesigns the workflow and owns the result.
• We want Workana to be where companies find that talent, and where talent becomes it.

Qualifications

• 8+ years in product and/or technology, with at least 4 leading teams and developing leaders, without ever stepping away from the details.
• Strong technical background: you can sit down with developers and discuss architecture, data and trade-offs as a peer.
• Experience in marketplaces, digital platforms or SaaS at scale, ideally in data-driven products (matching, recommendations, search).
• Fluent Spanish and advanced English.
• Experience in the freelance or future-of-work space.
• Experience at a startup or scale-up in LATAM or the US.
• Portuguese: Brazil is one of our most important markets.

Requirements

• Truly AI-native: AI has completely changed the way you work.
• Product judgment: You live and breathe what makes a product great.
• Ship, learn, iterate: You turn ideas into working product in days, not months.
• Leadership and storytelling: You know how to align engineering, business and operations behind the same idea.

Benefits

• The chance to build the next version of Workana, on top of ten years of real work data.
• Product and Development report to you: you define the roadmap, the architecture, who we hire and high-impact investment decisions.
• Direct access to the CEO and the leadership team.
• A lot of freedom in how you work, with a clear expectation of full commitment to Workana.
• Competitive compensation for the level of the role, plus remote work.

How Success Is Measured

• Shipping: the team ships faster and with higher quality, and the first bets of the new roadmap are in users' hands.
• Adoption: clients and talent use what we build, leading to better matches, faster hiring and fewer drop-offs.
• Recurrence: more one-off clients become recurring relationships, and more talent keeps working with the same clients.
