Founding Product Lead

Location: Remote (U.S. Preferred)

About Knomee

Knomee is building the behavioral intelligence platform for wealth management.

We help financial advisors build deeper client relationships by understanding the people behind the portfolios. Our platform combines behavioral science, AI, and thoughtful product design to help firms create more personalized advice, stronger engagement, and better client outcomes.

We're an early-stage company creating a new category. Every customer conversation shapes our roadmap. Every product decision should create measurable value. Every release should help customers become more successful.

We're looking for a builder who believes the best products come from deeply understanding customers and translating those insights into experiences people love to use.

The Opportunity

As Knomee's Founding Product Lead, you'll partner directly with the CEO and Head of Engineering to define product strategy, own the roadmap, and ensure every product investment creates measurable customer and business impact.

You'll serve as the voice of the customer, balancing long-term vision with disciplined execution while helping establish the product culture and operating model that will scale with the company.

This role is designed for a high-potential product leader who wants to grow. As Knomee scales, demonstrated success in this role will create the opportunity to become Head of Product and ultimately build and lead the product organization.

Our Product Philosophy

We believe product exists to create customer value that drives business growth.

That means:

  • Customer insight comes before product opinion.

  • Adoption matters more than feature count.

  • Customer outcomes matter more than roadmap completion.

  • Revenue is a measure of value created.

  • Simplicity beats complexity.

  • We ship, learn, measure, and improve continuously.

Every roadmap decision should answer one question:

Will this meaningfully improve customer outcomes and help grow the business?

What You'll Own

You will own Knomee's product strategy, roadmap, and product success.

Specifically, you will:

  • Define and evolve the product vision in partnership with the CEO.

  • Own and prioritize the product roadmap based on customer needs, strategic objectives, and business impact.

  • Lead continuous customer discovery through interviews, observation, usability testing, and product analytics.

  • Translate customer insights into clear product requirements and engineering priorities.

  • Partner closely with Engineering and Design to deliver elegant, intuitive, high-quality product experiences.

  • Define success metrics for every major initiative and use customer behavior and usage data to guide future investment.

  • Drive product adoption, engagement, retention, and expansion by removing friction and improving customer outcomes.

  • Partner with Sales, Customer Success, and Marketing to improve implementation, onboarding, positioning, pricing, and customer adoption.

  • Evaluate AI capabilities and emerging technologies to ensure they create meaningful value for customers.

  • Establish scalable product management processes while laying the foundation for Knomee's future product organization.

How Success Is Measured

Success in this role is measured by outcomes—not output.

Your success will be reflected in:

  • Increased customer adoption and active platform usage.

  • Higher customer satisfaction, engagement, and retention.

  • Faster customer onboarding and time-to-value.

  • Products that directly support customer expansion and revenue growth.

  • A roadmap consistently aligned with customer needs and business priorities.

  • A product organization grounded in customer discovery, data, and continuous learning.

If customers aren't using what we build—or if what we build doesn't help grow the business—we haven't succeeded.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for a strategic product leader who is equally comfortable talking with customers, making difficult prioritization decisions, and working alongside engineers to bring products to life.

You likely bring:

  • 7–10+ years of experience building B2B SaaS products.

  • Experience owning product strategy and roadmap for customer-facing products.

  • A demonstrated ability to translate customer insights into successful product outcomes.

  • Strong product judgment supported by customer research, analytics, and experimentation.

  • Experience working closely with engineering and design teams in fast-moving environments.

  • Excellent communication, collaboration, and stakeholder management skills.

  • Comfort making decisions in ambiguous, early-stage environments.

  • A bias toward action, learning, and continuous improvement.

  • Curiosity about AI and the discipline to apply it only where it creates meaningful customer value.

Experience in wealth management, wealthtech, fintech, financial services, behavioral science, or enterprise SaaS is highly desirable.

The Kind of Leader You'll Be

You are:

  • Customer obsessed and relentlessly curious.

  • Commercially minded and motivated by business outcomes.

  • Strategic enough to define where we're going and practical enough to execute today.

  • Comfortable making difficult prioritization decisions.

  • Collaborative across Product, Engineering, Design, Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success.

  • Humble, intellectually curious, and willing to challenge your own assumptions.

  • Energized by building something from the ground up.

Growth Opportunity

This role is intentionally designed as the foundation of Knomee's future product organization.

As the company grows, exceptional performance in this role will create the opportunity to advance to Head of Product, where you'll build and lead Product Management, Product Design, User Research, and Product Operations.

Advancement will be based on demonstrated impact—not tenure—including your ability to build products customers enthusiastically adopt, create measurable business value, and establish a world-class product culture.

Why Join Knomee

This is an opportunity to help define a new category within wealth management technology.

You'll work directly with the CEO and engineering leadership, influence company strategy, shape the future of AI-enabled financial advice, and build products that meaningfully improve how advisors understand and serve their clients.

If you're energized by solving complex customer problems, building products people genuinely love to use, and measuring success through customer adoption, customer outcomes, and business growth, we'd love to meet you.
