Director of Product (Head of Product)

We are hiring a Head of Product to lead the product function at Roo. You will manage a team of six Product Managers organized into squads, including a dedicated Platform PM. You will guide strategy across the entire product surface area and ensure the team can execute with clarity and speed.

This role needs someone who can flex across all layers of product development. You should be comfortable with early discovery, rapid experimentation, platform investments, and feature execution. You will help scale how product works at Roo, strengthen discipline across the team, and drive product-led growth in a way that advances the full marketplace.

You will partner closely with engineering, design, research, data, and go to market leadership to create a coordinated roadmap that supports company goals. You will report to the VP of Product and Design. The role is remote with occasional in-person sessions in our San Francisco co-working space.

Responsibilities
  • Lead and grow a team of six PMs across multiple squads, setting clear expectations and developing strong product talent.
  • Own the full product strategy across all surfaces including both sides of our marketplace, platform, internal tools, and growth.
  • Partner with Design and Research leadership to ensure the product organization functions as a unified group with shared goals and practices.
  • Drive product planning cycles including vision, prioritization, resourcing, and execution.
  • Build and scale product development processes that raise quality and improve cross functional alignment.
  • Define and track core product metrics. Ensure teams use data and research to identify opportunities and validate decisions.
  • Lead high priority company initiatives from early discovery through delivery and iteration.
  • Champion product-led growth by improving onboarding, activation, engagement, intent-based experiences, and conversion.
  • Partner closely with Engineering to ensure clarity in technical planning, platform investments, and long term architecture.
  • Work with GTM leaders to identify growth levers and measure their impact across the funnel.
  • Set standards for experimentation and ensure teams run fast, structured, and reliable tests.
  • Represent product priorities in executive forums and ensure alignment between product direction and company goals.
Qualifications
  • 12 plus years of product management experience including leadership roles managing multiple PMs.
  • Experience owning a full product surface area in a fast moving startup environment.
  • Strong track record leading product teams or working within a multidisciplinary product organization.
  • Experience running product squads and scaling processes that improve collaboration and execution.
  • Comfortable working across marketplace, platform, and growth surfaces.
  • Strong strategic thinking with the ability to dive into details when needed.
  • Experience driving product-led growth and building intent based user experiences.
  • Strong analytical ability. SQL proficiency preferred but not required.
  • Clear communicator who can influence across engineering, design, go to market, and executive teams.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
