Job Title: Co-founding Head of Product / CPO

Salary: $200k-$250k + Equity

Company Description: Pre-seed AI automation startup

Job Description:
As a co-founding leader, you will own the product strategy and GTM positioning for an AI-driven platform replacing legacy IT service management. You will define the initial beachhead wedge, navigate competitive landscapes against industry incumbents, and secure the first ten enterprise customers by transforming deterministic manual workflows into automated resolutions.

Location: San Francisco, USA

Why this role is remarkable:

  • Significant co-founder equity stake (5-15%) offering true ownership and influence over the company's foundational culture and trajectory.

  • Massive market opportunity disrupting a multi-billion dollar sector dominated by legacy tools that manage tickets rather than resolving problems.

  • Backed by deeply committed technical founders in a high-growth space where LLMs have unlocked new capabilities for deterministic execution.

What you will do:

  • Define and execute the product roadmap, shifting the focus from manual ticket triage to automated, Slack-based resolution workflows.

  • Lead go-to-market efforts and competitive positioning to displace established incumbents like ServiceNow and Jira Service Management.

  • Partner directly with the technical co-founders to win the first ten enterprise customers and build a repeatable sales motion.

The ideal candidate:

  • Proven track record shipping enterprise workflow automation products in ITSM, Security Ops, IAM, or DevOps at a successful startup.

  • Experience taking a product from zero to meaningful ARR with the GTM instinct required to navigate early-stage enterprise sales.

  • Background at major enterprise incumbents or high-growth startups, with the hunger to return to a pre-seed environment and build from scratch.

We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.
Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
