Head of Product

Saleshandy

The person who owns Saleshandy's product end to end: sets where it goes (especially on AI), leads the team that ships it, and stays hands-on in the work that matters most.

How to read this JD. This isn't a list of degrees or years. It describes what this person needs to do in their first year, and how we'll know it's working. We care about what you've actually done, not how long you've done it: a sharp operator with five years and the right track record fits this as well as someone with more. If you've done comparable work before, you'll recognize yourself in it.

Why this role matters

Saleshandy is an end-to-end outreach platform. Our customers use it to find leads, reach out to them, and book meetings, and thousands of businesses run on it globally. We've crossed a meaningful ARR milestone and we're now scaling on two fronts at once: expanding into new markets, and rebuilding the product around AI.

The product is already broad and already staffed. It runs across five workstreams plus a product operations function, each with its own PMs and APMs. What's missing is one person to own the whole of it: to set the direction, hold the quality bar, and lead the team that ships. That's this role. You'll own product end to end and report directly to the founders.

It's a rare mix: a product already at real scale, with a structured team, and a green field to build an AI-native future on top of it. Your calls will shape what tens of thousands of users touch every day.

What this is like to work in

(So you can judge whether it's a fit. The context is part of the job.)

Bootstrapped and profitable. We move fast, ship faster, and decide on data, not decks. What's respected here is leverage and outcomes, not titles or hours.
A broad surface, already staffed. You'll own product across five workstreams plus product operations:

CRM, Unified Inbox, Integrations, and APIs / MCPs / CLIs
Outreach, Email Deliverability, and Infrastructure
Channels: Dialer, WhatsApp, SMS, and Tasker
B2B Database and AI Column
AI SDR
and a Product Operations Lead who owns the core platform, billing and subscriptions, internal platforms, and vendor economics (a role we're hiring alongside this one, and one you'll oversee)

A team to lead, not build from zero. Around 8-10 people: Technical PMs, PMs, APMs, and the Product Operations Lead, some of whom manage others. You'll be leading a team that already ships, and raising its bar.
Two mandates, equal weight. Make Saleshandy AI-native, and keep the execution engine that already exists running at full speed. Neither at the cost of the other.
Hands-on, not hands-off. We want a leader who sets the strategy and still gets into the specs, the data, and the product itself. In the work that matters most, you're in it.
Founder-close and flat. You'll report to and work directly with the founders. High trust, high autonomy, high accountability. In-office, Ahmedabad, Monday to Friday.

What you'll accomplish

The mandate

Own Saleshandy's product end to end across all five workstreams and the product operations function. Set a clear, prioritized point of view on where AI creates step-change value, and take full ownership of the roadmap with no drop in shipping speed through the transition. Give the founders a refreshed 12-month product strategy, and lead the team that delivers it while staying hands-on in the work that matters most. Everything below supports this.

Own the roadmap and how product gets done

Start by going deep: into the product, the customers, the data, and the team. Then give the founders a written read: where the roadmap stands, the biggest opportunities and risks, and where the product org is strong versus where it needs work. From there, take full ownership of the roadmap across all five workstreams and the product ops function, and sharpen how product gets done: a clear way to prioritize, a standard for specs, a repeatable launch process, and a regular metrics review.

What good looks like: every workstream ships against clear, measurable outcomes; the founders have visibility without living in the detail; and shipping speed never dips while you take the wheel.

Make Saleshandy AI-native where it moves the business

Define and ship a small number of AI-powered features or improvements that measurably move Retention, Revenue, or Referral. Not AI as a gimmick, but AI that creates habits, expands accounts, and turns customers into advocates. The structure already points this way (AI Column, AI SDR); your job is to make it real and make it a reason customers choose Saleshandy.

What good looks like: a core activation or retention metric moves, and the AI-native roadmap visibly sets Saleshandy apart in the market.

Lead and grow the team, and stay in the work

Run an honest read of the team, close the most important gaps (hire or level up), and make sure every PM and APM has clear ownership and a growth path. Coach the PMs and the people who manage others (including the Product Operations Lead), raise the craft bar on what ships, and make crisp calls with incomplete information. And stay hands-on: get into the specs, the data, and the product in the workstreams that matter most, rather than leading only from above.

What good looks like: higher execution quality and speed across workstreams, strong product people want to join, the bar on what ships keeps rising, and you're close enough to the work to catch what a hands-off leader would miss.

Prove product-driven growth

Show product's contribution to the business across the full funnel: Awareness, Acquisition, Activation, and then Retention, Revenue, and Referral. Partner with sales, marketing, and customer success so features turn into better ARR, lower churn, and stronger retention.\

What good looks like: activation improves, churn drops, product contributes real expansion revenue, and the AI-native roadmap is a reason customers choose and stay with Saleshandy.

How you'll know this role is right for you

We're not counting years, we're looking for evidence. You'll do well here if you've actually done the things below. Be ready to point to real examples.

Must-haves (we Won't Compromise On These)

You've owned a product, or a major product area, end to end in B2B SaaS. You set the roadmap, made the hard prioritization calls, and were accountable for the outcomes.
You've led a product team, PMs and APMs, and grown people into stronger product thinkers. Ideally you've led some who manage others too, but a strong lead ready to step up here counts.
You've shipped products that moved the business: features and bets you can point to that changed retention, revenue, or activation, not just shipped on time.
You're still hands-on. You set strategy and you still get into specs, data, and the product itself. You lead from inside the work, not above it.

On experience: there's no hard year bar. Five years with the right track record fits this as well as more. What matters is that you've done the work above.

What Sets The Strongest Candidates Apart

You've built something with AI that customers actually valued, and you know what separates a great AI feature from a demo. You use AI in your own workflow.
You've worked founder- or exec-close in a fast, data-driven place, and brought clarity to ambiguity, in writing and in the room.

Pluses, Not The Point

Sales-tech, outreach, or growth-product experience, comfort with product data (funnel analysis, SQL basics), and fluency with tools like Mixpanel, Amplitude, Metabase, Figma, JIRA, or Notion are strong pluses, but they're a means to the objectives above, not the point.

Why Saleshandy

Real ownership, real impact over a product tens of thousands of users touch every day.
Hyper-growth, AI-native stage. You'll grow as fast as the company does.
A sharp, fast-shipping team and founders who back product with data.
Global product, local roots. Built in Ahmedabad for a global customer base.

If you can turn a cold problem into a warm solution, and lead a team that ships it, we want to talk.
