Chief Product & AI Officer at brightfin managing product strategy, engineering execution for an AI-native cost optimization platform. Focused on scaling from $30M to $100M ARR in three years.

Responsibilities:

  • Define and own the long-range product vision and strategy spanning TEM, ITFM, FinOps, and AI spend management, including market positioning, roadmap, and competitive differentiation.
  • Lead, manage, and hold accountable the combined product and engineering organization, establishing one unified operating rhythm and shared set of priorities.
  • Build, operate, and continuously improve the AI-driven development lifecycle (AIDLC), moving concepts from discovery through deployment at materially faster cycle times than traditional software development methods.
  • Architect and deliver the product foundation required to support an outcome-based commercial model, including the measurement systems and platform capabilities that tie customer results to contractual commitments.
  • Recruit, develop, and retain senior product and engineering leadership, including domain experts in IT finance, FinOps, and enterprise SaaS.
  • Partner with the CEO and executive team on company-wide strategy, capital allocation, pricing, and go-to-market alignment.
  • Establish and maintain engineering standards covering quality, security, scalability, and platform reliability appropriate for enterprise customers.
  • Govern the company's technical and product relationship with the ServiceNow ecosystem, including integration depth, platform dependencies, and the architectural decisions that preserve optionality beyond it.
  • Represent product and engineering to customers, prospects, the board of directors, and investors as required.
  • Establish key performance indicators for product adoption, engineering velocity, platform reliability, and customer outcomes, and report against them on a regular cadence.

Requirements:

  • Twelve (12) or more years of progressive leadership experience in product management, engineering, or both, with a meaningful portion at the executive level (Vice President or above).
  • Demonstrated experience building or scaling an AI-driven development lifecycle in a production environment, with first-hand operational involvement rather than oversight from a distance.
  • Track record of shipping enterprise software products at scale, including responsibility for both new product introduction and continuous platform evolution.
  • Prior experience leading a combined product and engineering organization, or leading one function while operating in close partnership with the other.
  • Experience hiring, developing, and managing senior leaders, including directors, vice presidents, and individual contributors at the staff or principal level.

Benefits:

  • brightfin offers a comprehensive health, dental and vision benefits package.
  • Paid time off.
  • We strongly believe in work-life balance and taking time for yourself.
  • 401K with employer match
