What are the responsibilities and job description for the Head of Product position at Hearth?
About Hearth
Hearth exists because 50 - 80% of small businesses in the trades (roofers, plumbers, etc.) fail within their first five years. Our mission is to change that forever and empower small businesses to build and grow successful companies.
We've built an all-in-one platform that helps SMBs grow sales, protect profits, and save time. With over 10,000 customers, Hearth is a vertical SaaS platform powered by a financial services layer that is currently powering billions in home improvement projects. We are growing, profitable in our base case, and are working to disrupt a fragmented, underserved, and $600B market.
Backed by the same investors as SpaceX, Stripe, Palantir, AirBnb, Rippling, Affirm, Brex, and OpenAI (FoundersFund, 8VC, Human Capital), we aim to protect small business entrepreneurship in America, redefine what is possible in running a trades business in today's rapidly changing world, and bring forth a future where every small business owner in the trades can succeed.
The Opportunity
Hearth is at an exciting point of growth, and we are looking for the right Senior Product Manager to help us accelerate. We are expanding Hearth’s product development organization and are looking to fill an important and impactful role - senior product manager - head of product - to help lead and co-create the future of the technology.
You will work closely with senior leadership, including the CEO, as well as across our diverse teams to build impactful technology that measurably helps small business owners and homeowners across the country.
This role is ideal for someone who is seeking a career-defining opportunity at this point in their growth to prove their skills/thinking, pull the best out of themselves, and drive business impact for a company that’s primed for significant growth. You will own the entire product lifecycle from strategy to execution and make decisions that directly inflect the curve for customer success and business growth.
The right fit is someone who is scrappy with early-stage experience, deeply customer-centric, and is skilled at leading an iterative, data-driven product process in a fast-paced environment. In this pivotal role, your ideas will be valued, your skills will be tested, and your contributions will directly enhance the lives of small businesses and homeowners across America.
What You’ll Do
This role will be located in NYC along with the rest of the technical Hearth team, the CEO, and other key roles in the business. Hearth believes in the energy, connection, and serendipity of in-person/hybrid work culture (3 days/week) for builders who are committed to building innovative software and making a significant positive impact in the world.
