[Hiring] VP, Product Management @LaunchDarkly

Role Description

We are hiring the leader of Product Management for LaunchDarkly. Reporting to the Chief Product Officer, you will own the product management organization end to end: the people, operating system, roadmap commitments, and commercial outcomes across every product pillar. You will sit at the technology leadership table as the Product Management peer to the heads of Engineering and Product Design.

The CPO sets the company’s product vision and strategic direction. You will build and run the product organization that turns that direction into a coherent portfolio, shipped outcomes, customer adoption, and revenue growth. This is a hands-on operating role for a product leader who knows how to build the machine, make the tradeoffs, and finish the work.

Responsibilities

• Lead cross-functional product leadership.
• Serve as the product counterpart to Engineering, Product Design, Marketing, Sales, Customer Success, and Finance.
• Build and lead the product management organization.
• Own the product operating system.
• Drive roadmap delivery across every product pillar.
• Create portfolio discipline without slowing the company down.
• Drive finishing.
• Own packaging execution and commercial outcomes.
• Stay close to customers and the field.
• Use AI to increase product and engineering leverage.

What Success Looks Like in Your First Year

• The organization is complete with the leadership model in place.
• Delivery increases every quarter.
• The operating system runs without the CPO driving it.
• The portfolio is staffed with explicit staffing decisions.
• The numbers move in terms of activation, attach, activity, and expansion targets.
• The team is stronger than you found it.

Qualifications

• 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.
• Demonstrated ability to turn company strategy into a reliable operating system.
• Experience working with a founder or visionary executive.
• 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.
• Practical experience using AI agents in your own work.
• Demonstrated ability to lead through ambiguity and improve delivery speed without compromising product quality.
