Assistant Vice President

Role & responsibilities

We are looking for an AVP Product to take end-to-end ownership of the product roadmap and evolution.

This is a builder role. You will work closely with the Founder, technology partners, AI engineers, consultants and customers to convert the value-creation methodology into a scalable, intelligent and commercially compelling product.

You will be responsible for translating CEO/CFO/PE operating problems into product capabilities, prioritising the roadmap, defining product requirements, managing development and ensuring that every release delivers measurable customer value.

Key Responsibilities

1. Product Strategy & Vision

• Translate the Founders product vision, strategy and roadmap.
• Translate market, customer and competitive insights into product priorities.
• Develop product propositions for CEOs, CFOs, PE/VC firms and portfolio companies.
• Balance customer-specific requirements with scalable product architecture.

2. Product Development

• Own the complete product lifecycle from concept to launch and continuous improvement.
• Create PRDs, user journeys, product specifications, acceptance criteria and release plans.
• Work closely with technology/AI teams to translate requirements into working product features.
• Establish product discovery, sprint planning, testing and release processes.
• Own product quality and customer experience.

3. AI & Data Product Development

• Define how AI, GenAI, RAG and agentic workflows should be embedded into the platform.
• Identify opportunities for AI-assisted diagnostics, benchmarking, root-cause analysis and recommendations.
• Work with data teams to build benchmark and industry intelligence capabilities.
• Develop the product's proprietary knowledge/data moat.
• Ensure AI outputs are explainable, actionable and commercially relevant.

4. Value Creation & Profitability Intelligence

• Convert profitability methodologies into repeatable digital workflows.
• Build structured diagnostic journeys and opportunity-sizing mechanisms.
• Develop prioritisation logic for value-creation initiatives.
• Build mechanisms to track baseline, target, progress and realised value.
• Incorporate industry, peer-group and company-specific benchmarks.

5. Customer & Market

• Work directly with early customers and prospects to understand their requirements.
• Lead product discovery sessions with CEOs, CFOs and transformation leaders.
• Convert customer feedback into product improvements.
• Support demos, pilots, proof-of-concepts and enterprise sales.
• Develop use cases across industries and geographies.

6. Commercialisation

• Partner with the Founder and sales team to define packaging, pricing and positioning.
• Develop product-led sales and demo journeys.
• Create product collateral, demos and use-case stories.
• Support enterprise proposals and strategic partnerships.
• Identify opportunities for channel/technology partnerships.

7. Product Operating Model

• Establish product management processes, governance and KPIs.
• Define product success metrics including adoption, engagement, conversion, retention and customer value delivered.
• Build and manage the product backlog.
• Prioritise features based on customer value, revenue potential, strategic importance and development effort.
• Establish a disciplined product release cadence.

What We Are Looking For

Essential

• 10-15+ years of experience in product management, digital products, SaaS, AI products or technology-enabled business transformation.
• Experience taking products from concept/MVP to commercialisation and scale.
• Strong understanding of B2B SaaS and enterprise products.
• Experience working with senior business stakeholders, ideally CEOs/CFOs.
• Strong product discovery and product roadmap capabilities.
• Ability to write high-quality PRDs and translate business problems into product requirements.
• Strong understanding of AI/GenAI and modern data products.
• Experience working with engineering, UX/UI, data and AI teams.
• Strong analytical and commercial orientation.

Highly desirable

• Experience in finance transformation, FP&A, profitability improvement, value creation, PE/portfolio operations, consulting or CFO advisory.
• Startup / scale-up experience.

The Ideal Candidate

We are not looking for someone who only manages a backlog.

The ideal candidate is someone who can sit with a CFO on Monday, understand a margin problem, translate it into a product workflow on Tuesday, work with an AI/engineering team on Wednesday, test the solution with a customer on Thursday and refine the commercial proposition on Friday.

You should be comfortable operating in an environment where the product is already live but is still being shaped, scaled and commercialised.

You should be:

• Strategic enough to define the product vision
• Commercial enough to understand what customers will pay for
• Technical enough to work effectively with AI/engineering teams
• Analytical enough to understand profitability and value creation
• Hands-on enough to build rather than simply manage
• Customer-focused enough to challenge assumptions based on evidence

Why Join Rodeme?

This is an opportunity to build a product rather than inherit one.

You will have the opportunity to shape an AI-native platform at the intersection of:

AI Profitability Value Creation Enterprise SaaS PE/Portfolio Operations

You will work directly with the founder and have significant ownership of the product's evolution, positioning and commercial success.

If you are excited by building products that help CEOs and CFOs make better profitability and value-creation decisions, we would like to hear from you.
