Full Job Description
Role Summary

You will lead product direction and day-to-day execution across Harmony's customer experience, core workflows, and web presence. This is a hands-on role for someone who can do discovery, define strategy, drive prioritization, write crisp requirements, and ship with engineering while maintaining a strong design bar.

You will be expected to find and validate latent needs, translate market signals into a clear roadmap, and ensure that what we ship is cohesive, usable, and consistent across channels.

Tasks

What You Will Own

Strategy and prioritization

  • Define and continuously refine the product strategy in partnership with the CEO and leadership team.
  • Build a roadmap grounded in customer value, market pull, and measurable outcomes.
  • Drive prioritization using clear frameworks (impact, risk, effort, urgency), and make tradeoffs explicit.
  • Identify latent needs through patterns in customer conversations, usage, and operational pain.

Customer engagement and discovery

  • Lead customer discovery across pilots and production deployments, including stakeholder interviews and workflow mapping.
  • Turn qualitative input into sharp product hypotheses, experiments, and validated requirements.
  • Partner with sales and customer success to shape messaging, packaging, and the land-and-expand journey.

Execution with engineering

  • Translate strategy into executable epics, user stories, acceptance criteria, and release plans.
  • Run product rituals that keep delivery focused (planning, grooming, sprint reviews, retros, launch readiness).
  • Align engineering work to customer outcomes while protecting quality, reliability, and security expectations.
  • Drive tight feedback loops post-launch: instrumentation, learning, iteration.

UX cohesion across product and web presence

  • Maintain a consistent UX narrative and interaction quality from product experiences to onboarding content to the website.
  • Ensure product language, workflows, and visuals feel like a capable coworker, not a tool.
  • Collaborate with designers and marketing to keep positioning and UX aligned.

What Success Looks Like (first 60 days)

  • A clear product strategy and prioritized roadmap that engineering and leadership can execute against.
  • A repeatable discovery loop with customers that consistently surfaces and validates latent needs.
  • Improved shipping cadence with clearer requirements, better cross-functional alignment, and fewer surprises.A tightened UX system across product touchpoints and the web presence.


Requirements

Required Qualifications

  • 5+ years in product management or product leadership roles, with meaningful ownership of strategy and delivery.
  • Proven experience shipping products with engineering teams, ideally in B2B SaaS and enterprise environments.
  • Strong discovery skills: interviews, workflow analysis, hypothesis testing, and translating insight into product decisions.
  • Demonstrated ability to drive prioritization and make hard tradeoffs with incomplete information.
  • Degree in Design (UX, Interaction, Product, or related) or equivalent practical design training with a strong portfolio of product work.
  • High design judgment: usability, clarity, consistency, and quality bar for end-to-end experiences.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication, especially in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience building AI-powered or agentic workflows, especially across email, chat, and enterprise tools.
  • Familiarity with enterprise procurement, security constraints, and stakeholder complexity.
  • Experience with onboarding, activation loops, and land-and-expand motions.Comfort defining lightweight UX standards or design systems in a startup environment.


Benefits

Benefits and compensation

  • Competitive salary and equity, calibrated to experience and location.
  • Flexible PTO, and the gear you need.
  • Travel for customer onsite work, typically 20 to 50 percent.


Traits We Value

  • Ambitious, high ownership, and allergic to hand-waving.
  • Customer-obsessed, but not customer-led in a way that turns into a feature factory.
  • Systems thinker who can connect product, UX, GTM, and operations into one coherent plan.
  • Calm under pressure, direct communicator, strong instincts with data and narrative.

Location and Work Style

  • Startup pace, high collaboration, high accountability.
  • Boston; however, will consider Remote for the right candidate.
