  • Self-motivation, low ego, and energy for the realities of an early-stage company.
Responsibilities
  • Own product strategy for Virtual Agents, define the multi-year vision and investment priorities, and translate them into an executable roadmap spanning product experience, technical differentiation, vertical expansion, and commercial model.
  • Build and lead the product function, hire and develop an exceptional product team, and set the standard for product practice at Unitary.
  • Work across the business to execute the product strategy, ensuring products are built well, sales and marketing teams are enabled, and delivery teams can scale smoothly.
  • Own the end-to-end product experience, including onboarding, human-in-the-loop, and customer success workflows.
  • Develop deep expertise in customers, domains, and the competitive landscape, particularly commercial insurance, and use it to make prioritization decisions.
  • Contribute to company strategy, support fundraising, and represent the product externally with customers, partners, and investors.
Desired Qualifications
  • Experience taking AI or technically complex B2B products to scale as one of the first product leaders in the business; experience from $10 million to $100 million ARR is a strong plus.
  • Experience in regulated B2B markets such as commercial insurance, fintech, healthtech, legal tech, or similar is a strong plus.
