The Role
We’re hiring a Head of Product at Succinct as we enter our next phase of growth. You will define product direction across our core surfaces, raise the bar on product quality and execution, and expand the frontier of what net-new products and use cases are possible with zero-knowledge technology.
This role is especially critical as we prepare for a major evolution of our vision and ecosystem strategy in 2026. While Succinct is deeply rooted in crypto infrastructure, the next chapter benefits from product leaders who bring strong instincts from consumer, developer, and frontier-tech products – and who know how to translate emerging technology into something people actually want to use.
This is a rare opportunity for a product leader who has already owned an entire product surface at a founder or near-founder level. You will partner directly with the founding team, drive strategy across existing and new products, and elevate the quality bar, velocity and execution speed across the entire company.
In this role, you will
- Own product strategy and execution end-to-end across all of Succinct’s product surfaces
- Act as a strategic partner to founders, translating vision, market dynamics, and user needs into clear product direction and priorities
- Set the product roadmap, define what matters most, and establish the rituals and systems that keep the organization aligned and shipping
- Stay close to customers, users, and the ecosystem, to shape both incremental improvements and net-new product bets
Qualifications:
- Proven founder-level product ownership: you’ve owned an entire product or major surface area before
- Strong product taste and foresight: you have a keen sense of where the puck is going and which levers to pull to get there
- Experience taking a complex product from concept > launch > iteration, making hard tradeoffs and decisions along the way
- Ability to operate as a true thought partner to leadership, not just an executor of requirements
- Comfort working in ambiguity, moving quickly, and setting direction where none exists yet
- Deep technical curiosity and fluency: you can work closely with engineers and understand complex systems without needing to be the one writing code
- Excellent communicator who can align teams through written docs, product thinking, and shared context
Nice to Haves
- Background as a founder, early PM, or product lead at a high-growth startup
- Familiarity with zero-knowledge proofs and their real-world use cases
- Experience scaling a product organization or mentoring PMs
Location
Our team is primarily based in San Francisco and works together in-person at our HQ. Ideally, we’re looking for someone who enjoys in-person work and is already in San Francisco or willing to relocate (we can cover relocation costs). For senior candidates who are an exceptional fit, we’d consider a remote position as long as you’re available to onboard in-person.
