About the Role

15Five is looking for a Director of Product to lead product and design, reporting directly to our CTO. This role sits at the center of 15Five's push to be AI-native across product, ops, and go-to-market. You'll partner with the CTO to bring our strategic vision to life through a team of Product Managers and Designers. This is a hands-on leadership role where you are both an active coach of your team while staying close to lead our product work, sell the roadmap to customers, guide technical tradeoffs with engineering, and embed AI into how your org builds product day to day.

You'll thrive here if you're obsessed with customer outcomes over shipped features, want to build AI+Human led work intelligence rather than just manage people, and are energized by fast-paced, high-accountability environments. If you've led a product for complex B2B SaaS (HR tech or AI-first a plus), have real hands-on AI product and tooling experience (not just awareness of it), and can influence execs while still rolling up your sleeves then this is the role for you.

We're fully remote and looking for candidates in the central or eastern US time zones.
