Summary

Deducta is a fast-growing startup serving some of the world's largest and most recognizable companies. We are well funded and actively solving the most pressing business challenges in the modern enterprise.

We are looking for a Head of Product to turn the founders’ product vision into reality and lead the team that delivers it. You will pressure-test and synthesise the founders’ direction into a clear roadmap, keep priorities aligned to it, and drive work from idea to customer-ready release without losing context or momentum. You will sit at the centre of product, design, and engineering.

You will set direction, lead the team, and make sure what ships reflects how customers actually use the platform.

The Role

As Head of Product, you will turn the founders’ product vision into reality, pressure-testing and synthesising their thinking into a clear roadmap and leading the team to deliver it. Reporting directly to the founders, you will keep the roadmap and priorities aligned to that vision, run early alignment across product, design, and engineering, and make scope, sequencing, ownership, risk, and delivery status visible to the whole team.

In short: set the direction, build and lead the team, herd the cats, and get things done.

This is a hands‑on leadership role in a fast‑moving environment. You will need the product judgment to tell a real user need from an overbuilt solution, the technical fluency to go deep with engineers on architecture and feasibility, the discipline to impose structure without waiting for perfect inputs, and the leadership to raise the bar of a growing product team.

What you will do:

• Own and lead the product vision, translating the founders' direction into a clear view of what the product needs to do and a roadmap the team can align to

• Build, manage, and grow the product team, raising the bar and setting the operating rhythm as the company scales

• Shape priorities into bounded work: own the scope and definition of the smallest useful first release, decide what is out of scope, and drive product, design, and engineering alignment before build.

• Own the delivery operating system: make ownership, sequencing, and the definition of “done” explicit, keep Linear reflecting reality, and surface risk and slippage in time to act

• Keep the team close to customers, routing support questions, implementation friction, and user feedback into what gets built, and coordinating release readiness

• Work closely with engineers to understand dependencies and trade‑offs, collaboratively turning ambiguity into clear, buildable requirements rather than administering tickets.

Success in this role means:

• Meaningful work moves from priority to customer‑ready release on a dependable cadence, not through firefighting

• Scope creep is caught before significant design or engineering effort is spent, and work reaches engineering with fewer open questions

• The product team is levelling up, and anyone can see delivery reality in Linear without reconstructing it through meetings
