Description

Build the product that fixes hiring at the source.

You’ve helped founders build great products and great teams. Now step into the role that lets you build the company that redefines how every company hires.

Whether leading product inside a fast‑scaling team, building tools that sell into talent, or hiring your own team, you’ve seen how easily things can go off‑track. The job description was vague. The team wasn’t aligned. The candidate was solid, but somehow the hire still didn’t stick.

And now? The market is crowded with AI tools promising faster, smarter, better hiring. But almost all of them optimize the wrong thing, adding speed to a broken process and creating more noise, not clarity.

Hiroic is different. It doesn’t start with resumes, keywords, filtering, or ranking. It starts with the one thing that’s almost always missing : clear, aligned, precise role definition.

Hiroic is your AI hiring expert. The pre‑ATS layer that sits upstream of every other tool, fixing the source of hiring breakdowns before they ever have a chance to snowball.

The MVP is live. Early teams are using it. Design partners keep asking for more. And the moment a hiring manager watches Hiroic turn a fuzzy role conversation into something sharp, structured, and aligned… they immediately understand the power.

This isn’t hypothetical. Signal is real. Demand is real. The studio is backing it. Now we need the person who can turn early traction into momentum. And that’s where you come in.

You’ve built zero‑to‑one products before. You’ve shipped fast, learned fast, and pushed a team from ambiguity into traction. Maybe you’ve been a founding PM, a product‑minded growth lead, or the person everyone relies on to turn a messy idea into a shipped feature with real results.

If that’s you, this is one of those rare roles where product, growth, and founding energy collide.

This isn’t joining as employee #3. This is cofounding a category‑defining company with a studio team behind you and an early user base ready to shape the future alongside you.

You will own the heartbeat of Hiroic : the product vision, the rapid experimentation engine, and the systems that take this from a validated prototype to a company with undeniable traction.

You’ll step in where the studio left off, deeply partnering with engineering and design, and leading the relentless cycle of learning, building, testing, and iterating that drives us toward product‑market fit.

• Own and evolve the product vision and translate ambiguity into a crisp, prioritized roadmap.
• Ship fast : scope MVPs, write acceptance criteria, coordinate engineering / design, and deliver weekly progress.
• Run a disciplined experimentation cadence across activation, onboarding, and product‑led growth loops.
• Build a repeatable customer‑insight engine : interviews, analytics, session replays, synthesis, and prioritization.
• Lead product‑led growth : design and run experiments across the full funnel.
• Get hands‑on with LLM prompt iteration, evaluation tests, and AI‑powered feature refinement.
• Test pricing, packaging, and early monetization with founders and design partners.
• Build early dashboards and instrumentation to track the core funnel and validate signal.
• Recruit and mentor early product / growth / design hires as the company grows.
• Represent Hiroic externally by running demos, refining the product narrative, and helping shape the fundraising story.

This role is both strategic and deeply in the weeds. You’ll think big and ship small, fast.

Nearly half of all hires fail within 18 months, not because the candidate was wrong, but because the role was never clearly defined.

By fixing hiring at the source, aligning teams on what a role actually is before anything else starts, Hiroic unlocks an entirely new architecture for how knowledge workers get hired.

Once you fix the beginning, you earn the right to transform everything that follows.

This role isn’t about making hiring slightly better. It’s about building the company that finally gets hiring right.

You thrive in early‑stage chaos and transform it into clarity. You’re product‑obsessed, experiment‑driven, and…
