Jack & Jill, San Francisco, CA, United States
Job Title: Co-founding Head of Product / CPO
Salary: $200k-$250k + Equity
Company Description: Pre‑seed AI automation startup
Location: San Francisco, USA
Job Description: As a co‑founding leader, you will own the product strategy and GTM positioning for an AI‑driven platform replacing legacy IT service management. You will define the initial beachhead wedge, navigate competitive landscapes against industry incumbents, and secure the first ten enterprise customers by transforming deterministic manual workflows into automated resolutions.
Why this role is remarkable:
- Significant co‑founder equity stake (5‑15%) offering true ownership and influence over the company's foundational culture and trajectory.
- Massive market opportunity disrupting a multi‑billion dollar sector dominated by legacy tools that manage tickets rather than resolving problems.
- Backed by deeply committed technical founders in a high‑growth space where LLMs have unlocked new capabilities for deterministic execution.
What you will do:
- Define and execute the product roadmap, shifting the focus from manual ticket triage to automated, Slack‑based resolution workflows.
- Lead go‑to‑market efforts and competitive positioning to displace established incumbents like ServiceNow and Jira Service Management.
- Partner directly with the technical co‑founders to win the first ten enterprise customers and build a repeatable sales motion.
The ideal candidate:
- Proven track record shipping enterprise workflow automation products in ITSM, Security Ops, IAM, or DevOps at a successful startup.
- Experience taking a product from zero to meaningful ARR with the GTM instinct required to navigate early‑stage enterprise sales.
- Background at major enterprise incumbents or high‑growth startups, with the hunger to return to a pre‑seed environment and build from scratch.
