About the Role:

You'll join as a founding member of Glean's forward deployed team and operate with the autonomy and accountability of a founder. Your job is to discover and build Glean's next generation of product surfaces, working directly with the C-suite of the world's most influential companies and with Glean's own executive team.

Glean is a fully horizontal AI platform - and that scope is what makes this role unique. You won't be configuring existing products or optimizing within defined constraints. You'll identify the biggest unsolved business problems at our most strategic customers, build entirely new products to solve them, and in doing so shape what Glean becomes. The best of what you build ships to every Glean customer in the world. You get founder-level ownership with Glean's resources, relationships, and scale behind you.

You will:

• Discover and build Glean's next product surfaces: Your primary job is 0-to-1 product creation. You'll identify where Glean's platform can be extended to solve problems no product currently solves, design the solution, and ship it - working in a pod with forward deployed engineers to move from ambiguous customer problem to product in production.
• Lead deep opportunity discovery: Before you design anything, you go deep on the business. What's structurally broken? What does the leadership team actually lose sleep over? Where is the biggest concentration of unsolved value? You'll form a strong point of view before you ever open a design tool, and pressure-test it directly with the executives who have to live with the outcome
• Trusted C-suite Advisor: You'll earn trust at the highest levels of your customer organizations - not as a vendor, but as the person who understands their business well enough to build for it. You'll set the product vision for what Glean can become inside their organization and be accountable for whether it gets there.
• Scale what works: Once something works, you'll make it repeatable - contributing to playbooks and helping the broader team build on what you've learned.

About you:

• You think like a founder. When you walk into a customer, you're not looking for a use case to fit an existing solution - you're diagnosing the business, forming a hypothesis about where the real value is, and figuring out what needs to exist that doesn't yet. You're as comfortable in a strategic discussion with a CEO as you are iterating on a build with an engineer. You've shipped actual products that real people use, that drove real outcomes - and you want to do it at a higher level of ambition.
• 0-to-1 product track record: You've built products from scratch that others have used. You can point to something that didn't exist before you showed up.
• Deep technical fluency: You can shape the product vision and architectures, work directly with engineers on building & implementation, and make credible design decisions. You've shipped AI-powered solutions in the real world, not just designed them.
• Business acumen: You lead discovery with a point of view, not a list of questions. You can identify where there is opportunity in a business and connect that to a product hypothesis quickly.
• Executive credibility: You've built real trust with senior stakeholders by being right about important things and delivering on what you committed to.
• Product taste: You design products people actually want to use. You think about the end user's experience with the same rigor you bring to the underlying architecture.
• Comfort with ambiguity: You define the problem as often as you solve it, and you're energized by that.
• Nice to have: Experience as a founder, a top-tier consulting firm or in product at a high-growth technology company.A technical degree in CS, engineering, math, or a related field.Deep familiarity with LLMs, retrieval systems, and evaluation frameworks.Experience driving technology adoption inside large enterprises.
