Head of Product

Osano is hiring a Head of Product to shape, guide, and accelerate the next chapter of our product strategy. This role reports directly to the CEO and calls for an empathetic, forward-thinking, hands-on leader who thrives at the intersection of vision and execution—someone who can inspire a shared direction for where privacy is headed, integrate AI/ML as a core differentiator, and nurture the creation of products that are intuitive, trusted, and built for scale.

You’ll be leading a collaborative team that turns market shifts into opportunities, transforms challenges into innovative solutions, and works together to bring ideas to life for customers. You’ll partner closely with executives to align product direction with company goals, while also staying connected to the details: running discovery, validating assumptions, shaping the roadmap, and ensuring thoughtful, high-quality delivery. The ideal candidate is an experienced product leader who enjoys fostering growth in others, scaling product operations, and leveraging AI in ways that genuinely benefit customers. If you’re motivated to build a category-defining platform in a dynamic, fast-evolving market, we’d love to connect.
