Head of Product

Join Applause as the Head of Product, where you will own the product management practice and turn the company vision into clear priorities, focused roadmaps, and products that create measurable customer and business value. This hands-on, player-coach role involves leading and developing a team of Product Managers while serving as the Product Manager for the QA Automation Platform team. You will work closely with the CEO, CTO, Engineering leadership, and commercial teams to connect company strategy with market intelligence, customer needs, and product performance.

• Assumer la responsabilité de la pratique de gestion de produit chez Applause, en traduisant la vision de l'entreprise en priorités claires et en feuilles de route.
• Diriger et développer une équipe de chefs de produit tout en servant de chef de produit pour l'équipe de la plateforme d'automatisation QA.
• Collaborer étroitement avec le PDG, le CTO, la direction technique et les équipes commerciales pour aligner la stratégie de l'entreprise sur les besoins du marché.
• If you are excited to build the product practice—and the products—that will help define Applause’s next chapter, we would love to talk
• You have led Product Managers in collaborative, cross-functional environments. You know how to coach others, create clarity from ambiguity, and help teams move from broad direction to concrete product decisions and shipped work
• You are fluent in the AI landscape and energized by what it unlocks. You are equally clear-eyed about where human judgment, context, access, and lived experience remain essential
• You know when more evidence will improve a decision and when it is time to make a thoughtful bet. You understand that shipping is only part of the job and know how to use adoption, customer feedback, and product performance to guide iteration and future investment
• We are looking for a product leader who can develop our product team, and turn an ambitious vision into focused, measurable execution
• You are comfortable operating as both a product leader and a hands-on Product Manager. You can strengthen practices across the organization while still going deep enough to lead discovery and drive a critical product area from idea through adoption and iteration
• You are customer-centered, technically curious, commercially aware, and pragmatic. You understand how customer needs, market dynamics, competitive positioning, pricing, and go-to-market decisions connect to what gets built
• You bring 8+ years of product management experience, including at least 3 years leading Product Managers and demonstrated experience building or strengthening a product management practice
