USAHead
Lead product strategy and vision to build and shape the product for a prediction market platform, owning product function end-to-end.
Responsibilities
- We're hiring a VP of Product at Polymarket. This is a high-impact, high-ownership role where you'll define the product vision, build the product team, and shape how millions of people experience prediction markets.
- We're not looking for someone to manage a backlog. We're looking for a product leader who thrives in ambiguity, builds conviction from first principles, and knows how to turn bold ideas into shipped products.
- You'll partner deeply with our Founder and our engineering, design, and data teams, owning the product function end-to-end: from strategy and roadmap through execution, hiring, and iteration.
- Lead product strategy and vision. Define a clear, compelling product direction aligned with Polymarket's growth ambitions. Translate business goals into a prioritized, outcome-driven roadmap. Communicate direction clearly across the company.
- Own product end-to-end. Drive product development across core experiences - trading flows, onboarding, discovery, growth surfaces, and new product ideas. Own the full lifecycle from concept through launch and iteration, maintaining a high bar for clarity, usability, and speed.
- Build and lead the product team. Hire, mentor, and grow a high-performing team of Product Managers. Build a culture of strong craft, fast iteration, and rigorous thinking about user problems and business outcomes.
- Collaborate cross-functionally. Partner deeply with engineering, design, data, CX, and leadership to shape the roadmap and ship best-in-class products. Serve as connective tissue between strategy and execution.
- Develop deep user and market insight. Build real intuition for Polymarket users - traders, news readers, power users, and newcomers alike. Use qualitative and quantitative research to inform decisions and build conviction.
Requirements
- 10+ years of product experience, with significant time leading product at early-stage or high-growth startups, ideally having worked on or led category-defining products
- A track record of building exceptional consumer and/or fintech products at fast-moving companies
- Highly product-minded, meticulous about execution, and obsessed with clarity, simplicity, and user trust
- Technical enough to go deep with engineers and opinionated enough to push back on scope creep
- Experience scaling product functions - you know how to balance speed with quality, shipping fast without losing the thread
- A talent magnet: you love hiring, mentoring, and building great teams, and you have a roster of people who'd want to work with you again
- Bonus: experience with finance, markets, trading products, crypto, or DeFi
- Bonus: deep curiosity about prediction markets, incentives, and the future of truth
Conditions
- Competitive salary & equity
- Unlimited PTO
