Head of Product

Who you are

• You quickly understand complex customers, markets, products, and technologies
• You identify what matters most and turn incomplete information into clear recommendations and trade-offs
• You can focus an organization around a few high-conviction product bets
• You connect product decisions to adoption, retention, revenue, and competitive advantage
• You are strong with customers and prospects and can distinguish broad market demand from isolated requests
• You understand how to build scalable enterprise products
• You have led significant products from strategy through launch, adoption, and measurable impact
• You have made difficult prioritization and resource-allocation decisions across multiple products or workstreams
• You raise the judgment, product craft, and effectiveness of PMs and designers
• You have successfully shipped AI-first products
• You understand model capabilities, evaluations, reliability, trust, economics, and customer value
• You actively use modern AI tools and stay close to advances in the field
• You translate strategy into focused, high-quality execution without unnecessary process
• You stay close to the details that matter, resolve ambiguity, and maintain momentum
• You are decisive, dependable, and consistently raise the quality of the work
• Experience in recruiting technology or an adjacent hiring category is strongly preferred, but not required
• Hands-on: You want to build, not simply supervise. You stay close to customers, product experiences, and the work of the team while focusing your own time on the decisions and interventions that create the most leverage
• Positive and energizing: You bring urgency, optimism, and an attitude that raises the performance of the people around you
• Highly collaborative: You bring clear opinions without ego, engage constructively in disagreement, and earn trust through judgment and follow-through
• Passionate about hiring: You believe hiring is an important and underserved problem and are motivated to improve it for companies and candidates
• Competitive: You study the market, care deeply about pace, and want to build the product that defines the category—not merely participates in it

• From that context, you will develop a clear point of view about the opportunities that matter most and translate it into a focused set of high-conviction product investments
• You will lead product across BrightHire Interview, BrightHire Screen, and future products. This will require difficult decisions about how to balance products with strong existing momentum, platform investments, and entirely new opportunities created by advances in AI
• A critical part of the role is bringing leverage to the CEO, Head of Engineering, and broader leadership team. You will bring clear recommendations, articulate the underlying reasoning and trade-offs, and help the organization make better and faster decisions about where to focus its resources

• You will work across Zoom to identify R&D, platform, go-to-market, and distribution synergies that can create differentiation and growth at a scale BrightHire could not achieve independently
• The goal is not to build a large product organization for its own sake. It is to build an exceptional product and business. The right candidate is motivated by customer impact, product quality, strategic advantage, and growth—not team size or span of control
• Rapidly develop a deep understanding of our customers, products, market, technology, economics, and competitive position
