Head of Product

We're the creators of soil transformation, an environmentally-friendly alternative to burial and cremation. Over a 30-45 day process, we gently transform a body into nutrient-rich soil. Families receive a portion of this soil - to scatter or plant - and the remaining soil is sent to conservation land that we acquire, to restore and protect it for future generations. Our experience is environmentally friendly, digital-first and underpinned by best-in-class family care.

We're hiring a Head of Product to help us build the technology that powers an entirely new approach to death care. We've built proprietary technology to transform one of life's oldest industries, and now we’re scaling quickly.

This role is ideal for someone who loves building from the ground up and wants real ownership over our products and how we build them. You'll own our product roadmap, help shape our product processes, build our Design function, and partner closely with Engineering, Operations, Sales & Marketing, and Leadership.

We're looking for someone who is obsessed with understanding consumers, uses data to make decisions, and still enjoys rolling up their sleeves and building alongside the team. This is not a pure management role. You'll write PRDs, talk to families, review designs, sit in sprint planning, and help ship products with the team.

What You’ll Do

• Set Earth's product direction and roadmap in partnership with the company’s leadership.

• Develop a deep understanding of our families, operators, and internal teams, and turn those insights into products people genuinely love using.

• Own prioritization across product initiatives and engineering swim lanes, ensuring our roadmap aligns with company goals and measurable business outcomes.

• Design and deploy a crisp product process so we can prioritize well, make decisions quickly, and execute consistently.

• Create a reliable release rhythm so teams know what's shipping, when it's shipping, and why it matters.

• Work hand-in-hand with Engineering to prioritize effectively, execute quickly, and build products that make a real difference for our families and team.

• Build and lead our design function, including hiring our first Product Designer, establishing a high bar for user experience.

• Mentor and develop our existing Product Manager and help build the product organization for our next stage of growth.

• Define how we'll measure success and use data to learn, iterate, and make better decisions.

• Remain deeply hands-on, from customer discovery through launch and iteration.

What We’re Looking For

• 10+ years of product management experience, including significant experience building consumer growth products and optimizing consumer purchase experiences.

• Proven track record of owning products end-to-end and driving measurable business and customer outcomes.

• Natural coach and mentor who enjoys developing people and building strong teams.

• Experience building products in fast-paced startup environments and using AI and modern product tools to move faster and work smarter.

• Excellent prioritizer who ships and drives to done; makes hard trade-offs under constraints and is measured by what is launched, not what is surfaced.
