Reporting directly to the CEO, this individual will play a critical role in shaping product strategy, leading customer discovery efforts, supporting strategic pre-sales opportunities, and elevating product excellence across the organization. This is not a traditional product management role focused on backlog management or feature execution. Instead, this position is ideal for a strategic product leader who enjoys identifying what should be built before engineering begins, uncovering the true business problems behind customer requests, and helping organizations move from feature-driven development to outcome-driven product thinking. The ideal candidate combines product strategy, customer discovery, UX thinking, and solution consulting experience. They are comfortable working with executives, customers, sales teams, designers, product managers, and engineering teams while helping drive alignment between U.S.-based leadership and offshore delivery teams. This role offers the opportunity to make a significant impact on both product direction and organizational product maturity, with a clear path toward future executive-level product leadership.</p><p><strong>REMOTE Director of Product Strategy (Pre-Sales &amp; Product Innovation) Responsibilities</strong></p><ul><li>Own product strategy, roadmap direction, and key product decisions<br>• Lead customer discovery sessions and identify new product opportunities<br>• Translate business challenges into product solutions, workflows, and requirements<br>• Create user flows, journey maps, wireframes, and product briefs<br>• Prioritize initiatives based on customer value, business impact, and feasibility<br>• Support strategic pre-sales efforts, proposals, and solution design discussions<br>• Partner with sales, product, design, and engineering teams to drive alignment<br>• Coach product managers and delivery teams on product best practices<br>• Improve product discovery, prioritization, and roadmap processes across the organization<br>• Strengthen collaboration between U.S. leadership and offshore engineering teams<br>• Help establish and scale product excellence standards </li> </ul><p><strong>RE
