VP of Product

The role

You will run product at Olly Olly, from getting found to getting paid, and own the SEO strategy and the AI that runs a client's front office. You will lead about 70 people across product, design, engineering and production, and set what gets built and in what order. You will also sit on the leadership team that sets company direction.

What you will do

• Own the product strategy, including local SEO, lead capture, follow-up, booking, reviews and the AI front office
• Set the roadmap, scope, sequence, dates and status across product and engineering
• Hire, train and grow managers, and decide where people and money go across about 70 seats
• Run the intake to retro process: specs, acceptance criteria, design handoff, build, QA and launch gates
• Measure what shipped against its intended results, using current data and data you decide is needed
• Find where AI removes work for customers and the services team, and ship it with honesty rails on client-facing AI output
• Keep the company ahead of changes in Google and AI search
• Replace process that does not fit with process that does

Required qualifications

• 8+ years in product, including several years owning both the roadmap and the ship date across product and engineering
• Built product for small businesses and shipped something that put money in an owner's pocket, with the number to show for it
• Deep local SEO knowledge, able to defend a ranking strategy to a skeptical founder and a skeptical SEO specialist
• Built teams of this size: hired, trained, grew managers, decided where people and money go, and led through a reorg or a team you did not pick
• Run multi-team project plans with real dates and kept them honest when things slipped
• Hands-on fluency with AI: prompting, Claude or similar, and AI coding workflows inside a real engineering organization
• Based in or relocating to Austin, TX, with regular in-office time

Nice to have

• A services-to-software transition
• Paid search or Local Services Ads
• Stood up product analytics from near zero
• Led teams across the US, Latin America, and the Philippines

Before you apply

• Relocation to Austin, TX is accepted, and regular in-office time is required
