Director of Product Management

Hiive is redefining how private companies and their shareholders access liquidity through its institutional-grade platform. The Director of Product Management will lead product strategy, mentor product managers, and ensure the engineering team aligns with business goals to drive growth.

Responsibilities:

• Defining and evangelizing the product roadmap, ensuring every feature aligns with Hiive’s long-term business goals and marketplace dynamics
• Partnering with the Director of Product Design and Engineering leadership to optimize the SDLC, ensuring a seamless flow from discovery to delivery
• Recruiting, mentoring, and scaling a team of Product Managers, fostering a culture of rigorous thinking, data-informed decision-making, and "extreme ownership."
• Acting as the primary bridge between Product and cross-functional partners in Sales, Marketing, and Operations to ensure successful GTM execution
• Implementing and refining mental models for prioritization (e.g., balancing "customer delight" vs. "technical debt" vs. "revenue growth")
• Establishing a gold standard for how the team uses data to validate hypotheses and measure the ROI of shipped features

Requirements:

• 10+ years of Product Management experience, with at least 3+ years in a dedicated leadership or people-management role within a high-growth startup environment
• Experience scaling products from early traction to significant market share, specifically within complex ecosystems
• Expert-level ability to query data, define KPIs, and use BI tools to drive product strategy (we believe 'gut feel' is a starting point, not a destination)
• The ability to distill complex technical or business trade-offs into clear, actionable narratives for executive stakeholders
• Deep understanding of how changes in one part of a system (e.g., a marketplace) ripple through to affect user behavior and business health
• Deep knowledge of liquidity, clearing, or complex transactional platforms
• A background in Software Engineering or a deep technical understanding of modern API-first architectures
• Advanced experience with Amplitude, SQL, and Figma to facilitate close collaboration with our Design and Data teams
• Experience managing the nuances of high-touch enterprise customers alongside a scalable product vision
