About Port:
Port is the Agentic SDLC Platform. The way engineering teams build software is constantly evolving, and every new wave - such as AI agents operating across the SDLC - makes engineering more powerful, but also more complex and chaotic.
Port turns that chaos into control: one platform to build, govern, and operate the software development lifecycle, enabling every team to move as fast as technology allows.
Following our $100M Series C funding round, we are entering an exciting stage of significant growth and global expansion. As a product-led company, we believe the recipe for success is a world-class product that speaks for itself.
About the position:
The Special Projects Lead in Port's CEO's Office serves as a strategic connection point between Port's product organization and its go-to-market teams. Reporting to the Field CTO, this role addresses the company's highest-priority challenges as they emerge, and operates across a broad and evolving scope of strategic initiatives.
The core of the role is 0→1 execution. Each quarter, the position is aligned to specific company KPIs, and is responsible for building the required foundations from the ground up: processes, tooling, content, and enablement infrastructure. Initiatives are developed, validated, and operationalized before being transitioned to the relevant owning team.
Execution spans a wide range of activities depending on the initiative in focus. These may include:
<ul>
<li>Building product demos and technical assets on the Port platform</li>
<li>Partnering with marketing to produce content that communicates Port's positioning to the market</li>
<li>Meeting with customers and prospects to gather feedback and validate direction</li>
<li>Representing Port at industry conferences and events</li>
<li>Conducting market research to inform where the company invests next</li>
<li>Designing and standing up new internal processes, programs, and tooling</li>
</ul>
The scope of this role is intentionally broad and will evolve alongside company priorities. It is well suited to a candidate who thrives on breadth, operates with speed and autonomy, and is motivated by working at the center of the business.
What success will look like:
<ul>
<li>Own strategic initiatives end to end, from definition through execution and handover, working in close partnership with the Field CTO on direction while driving the execution independently</li>
<li>Proactively identify signals in the market, product, or field, and initiate ideas and projects independently, without waiting for direction from the Field CTO or CEO</li>
<li>Set a consistently high quality bar, delivering work that is best in class rather than simply complete</li>
<li>Operate independently in front of customers and prospects, running meetings and demos with confidence and credibility</li>
<li>Become a recognized internal expert on both the Port platform and the broader market, and a person other teams come to for answers</li>
<li>Move quickly across changing priorities, ramping into new domains and delivering meaningful output within weeks rather than months</li>
</ul>
The clearest signal of success is that initiatives this person touches move faster, land better, and reach a higher standard than they would have otherwise.
Requirements:
<ul>
<li>4 years of experience in Engineering / technical customer facing roles, with hands-on technical ability</li>
<li>Hands-on experience with AI tools and agents: prompting, building automations, working with agentic workflows</li>
<li>Strong presentation skills, comfortable running meetings and demos in front of technical and executive audiences</li>
<li>Fluent English (written and verbal) and Hebrew</li>
<li>Experience with dev tools, platform engineering, or DevOps concepts is a strong plus</li>
<li>Advantage for experience in Sales engineering, Product Marketing, and technical GTM roles</li>
</ul>
Personal Attributes &amp; Mindset
<ul>
<li>Exceptional communicator, written and verbal, able to adapt to technical, executive, and customer audiences</li>
<li>Winner mindset: optimistic, competitive, and eager to take on any challenge</li>
<li>Sharp problem solver, able to break down complex and ambiguous problems into clear direction</li>
<li>Confident and engaging presence, comfortable leading a room</li>
<li>High ownership: takes responsibility and follows through end to end</li>
<li>Autodidact, learns new tools, domains, and problems fast with minimal guidance</li>
<li>Comfortable with ambiguity and constantly shifting scope</li>
<li>Cares deeply about quality, impact, and the success of the company as a whole</li>
<li>Extensive travel could be required</li>
</ul>
