Head of Product and Design

Certivo is an AI-native compliance platform for regulated supply chains. Manufacturers face a growing wall of regulatory requirements across materials, trade, cybersecurity, and sustainability, and the way most companies handle it has not changed in twenty years: spreadsheets, email chases, and a scramble when an auditor or a customer asks for proof.

Our AI engine, CORA, automates the work underneath. It collects evidence from suppliers, validates documents against regulatory frameworks across ten compliance categories, and generates audit-ready packages on demand. We are backed by Suffolk Technologies, Pioneer Square Labs, Mayfield, and Ralliant, and we work with global manufacturers across aerospace and defense, automotive, industrial equipment, electronics, and medical devices.

Compliance software usually gets built one regulation at a time. A customer needs REACH, so someone builds a REACH module. Then RoHS arrives, then CBAM, then a customer contract with its own clauses, and five years later the product is thirty hardcoded workflows that nobody can extend.

We took a different approach. Our Regulation Builder ingests any requirement type, whether regulatory, contractual, or customer-specific, and runs it through the same evidence workflow. That design is the reason we can cover ten compliance categories instead of one, and it is the thing we have to keep getting right as the surface area grows.

This role owns that core. You decide what the platform does next, you write the specifications engineering builds against, and you make the calls about which capability graduates from a custom build for one customer into something every customer gets.

You will work alongside a Product and Design lead who owns the experience layer, forward deployed engineers who sit inside customer deployments, and compliance engineers who own the regulatory logic. Your job is the connective tissue: deciding what gets built, in what order, and why now.

• Own the platform roadmap

  Set and maintain the roadmap for the core platform, including the Regulation Builder, evidence collection, document validation, and reporting

• Make the prioritization calls

  Make the prioritization calls across competing pulls from customers, partners, compliance, and engineering, and be able to defend them

• Partner with engineering

  Partner with engineering on sequencing, scope, and the tradeoff between shipping narrow and shipping complete

• Write specifications engineering can build from

  Translate a compliance requirement or a customer need into a specification with clear behavior, edge cases, and acceptance criteria

  Work with compliance engineers to understand what a framework actually demands before deciding how the product should handle it

  Define what good looks like when the answer is probabilistic, including where the system should escape to a human rather than guess

• Decide what becomes product

  Review the custom work forward deployed engineers do inside customer accounts and decide what generalizes

  Resist building the one-off twice. When a pattern appears across customers, turn it into platform capability

  Say no to the things that would make the product worse, and be able to explain the reasoning to the person who asked

• Stay close to customers and the market

  Join customer conversations, onboarding sessions, and technical evaluations to see the product used rather than described

  Track what competitors ship and what customers ask for that we do not yet do

  Bring evidence into roadmap conversations, including the things customers struggle with quietly rather than the things they raise in a Q

• Support the business
