💼 About the Role

We are looking for a VP of Product to own Murphy AI’s product direction end-to-end. Your mission is simple and demanding: ensure we build the right products at the right time by defining a clear product vision, strategy, and roadmap grounded in deep customer understanding, strong business judgment, and tight partnership with Engineering.

This is a founding-level product leadership role. You will work directly with the founders as a thought partner, being a member of the Leadership Team, shaping long-term strategy, making hard trade-offs explicit, and creating durable competitive advantage. You will set the bar for product excellence and establish the product culture as Murphy AI scales.

In Murphy’s competitive environment, only the best product wins. Let’s make it happen.

• Drive product-market fit
  Ensure a strong fit across core use cases by grounding decisions in customer insight, data, and experimentation. Improve adoption, retention, and customer satisfaction in measurable ways.

• Deliver outcomes through Product–Engineering partnership
  Operate as one aligned organization with Engineering. Establish clear ownership and ways of working so teams ship meaningful outcomes predictably, not just features.

• Embed customer-led decision-making and spread it in our culture
  Maintain direct contact with customers and ensure customer learning clearly shapes prioritization and roadmap decisions.

📚 Requirements

• Senior product leadership experience
  Proven experience defining and leading product strategy for scale-ups, high-impact products, ideally in B2B or regulated environments.

• Strong product judgment
  Ability to make sound decisions under uncertainty, balancing customer value, business impact, and technical constraints.

• Customer-obsessed mindset
  Deep experience using qualitative insight, data, and experimentation to drive product decisions.

• Execution-focused leader
  Track record of turning strategy into shipped outcomes through close partnership with Engineering.

• AI-native curiosity
  Strong interest in AI-native products and emerging trends, with the ability to translate them into real customer value.

• Founder-level influence
  Comfortable working directly with founders, building trust, and challenging assumptions with clarity and credibility.

⭐️ Nice to have
