Product Director

AbsenceSoft

This Director role involves owning a core enterprise product area from strategy through execution. It is a senior individual contributor position focused on high-level technical leadership and hands-on product work within an HR tech environment.

What you’d own

  • Product strategy, roadmap, and lifecycle for a core product area
  • Technical leadership across engineering, design, and product teams
  • Post-launch outcomes including GTM narrative and enablement materials
  • AI/LLM integration into products and internal workflows

Who it’s for

A fit if you…

  • ✓You have 10+ years of experience in product management with a track record of owning product lines end-to-end.
  • ✓You are an AI-forward practitioner comfortable using LLMs for discovery, prototyping, and analysis.
  • ✓You possess deep expertise in B2B SaaS and enterprise environments.
  • ✓You have strong data fluency to instrument products and own post-launch results.

Not for you if…

  • ✗You are looking for a pure people management role (this is currently an individual contributor position).
  • ✗You prefer a less regulated environment (the role requires navigating high compliance and security controls).
  • ✗You prefer to delegate the technical details of AI integration or GTM enablement.

Reading between the lines

  • The mention of 'high-growth scaling' and 'path to build and lead a team' suggests the scope will expand rapidly as the product area grows.
  • The requirement for 'hands-on' work despite the Director title implies a high level of personal involvement in execution rather than just oversight.
