Director of Product
About KIMARU Talent:
KIMARU Talent is a boutique executive search firm working with startups and growth-stage companies in AI, gaming, technology, and advertising. We take on fewer clients so we can go deeper on each search - real understanding of the role, the team, and what "yes" looks like for both sides.
We're not generalists who'll take any search. We focus on leadership and critical individual-contributor hires - the roles where getting it right changes the trajectory of the startup.
That depth is why most long-term clients give us access to their ATS, Slack, and internal comms. We're not a vendor you check in with weekly. We operate like an internal recruiter with an external network.
As a key strategic leader reporting to the Chief Product Officer, you will be responsible for building and growing new product offerings within our client’s industry-leading market intelligence platform. In this role, you will play a crucial part in shaping the strategy for new products such as Web Insights, Audience Insights, and Purchase Insights, ensuring these innovations address customer needs and drive business growth. You will oversee the entire product lifecycle from ideation through to execution, collaborating closely with design, engineering, and other cross-functional teams to deliver engaging, insightful, and scalable product experiences.
What You’ll Do:
Own the roadmap for our client’s new product lines, driving the vision, product strategy, and execution through all stages of the product lifecycle.
Work cross-functionally with design, engineering, and data teams to conceptualize and prototype new data-driven insights and products.
Advocate for new products internally with leadership and externally with global stakeholders, aligning the vision with company objectives.
Engage regularly with customers and industry experts to gather feedback, track market trends, and maintain competitive intelligence.
Experience We Want to See:
Experience transforming complex data sets into actionable, insightful products that meet market demands.
Proven track record in product leadership roles within fast-growing companies, ideally in SaaS, market intelligence, or data-driven businesses.
Success in leading teams to launch and scale new product lines, with a strong emphasis on data-driven product development.
Strong cross-functional leadership skills, with the ability to manage multiple product initiatives and navigate complex decision-making processes.
A deep understanding of market intelligence, web analytics, audience behavior, and purchase data is a plus.
Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to align stakeholders and inspire cross-functional teams.
