In 2011, Marc Andreessen famously said, “Software is eating the world.” 10+ years later, software hasn’t just nibbled, it has indulged in a lavish ten-course feast at a Michelin star restaurant. From Slack to Zoom to Figma, software is embedded in every company’s DNA. And while most just get to enjoy the benefits, there is one unsung hero behind it all: 🦸‍♀️ IT 🦸‍♀️

While being flooded with never ending IT tickets, they are also making sure Guy Fieri in Sales doesn’t buy yet another tool “promising” a 103% lead conversion rate. And burying themselves in spreadsheets to prepare the SOC2 report for when Gordon Ramsey from the Big 4 comes knocking. And can’t forget about Julia Child, the newest on-call engineer, who needs access to prod DB to investigate an incident. All of these workstreams are among spreadsheets, emails, Slack messages, and Zoom calls. But those days are numbered.

✨ Let there be Lumos

Lumos is building the first AppHQ for companies. In essence, we are creating the meta app, the source-of-truth for companies to manage all their apps.

Why Lumos?

  • 🚀 Rocketship Growth: In less than two years, our team has grown from 20 to ~80 brilliant minds across Canada, the United States and South America. Our customer base has more than 10x’d with some pretty incredible names like SiriusXM, GitHub, and Intercom.
  • 📈 Backed by Industry Leaders: Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) has backed us since the beginning. We have a team of trusted advisors including Joel De La Garza (partner at a16z and previous Chief Security Officer at Box) and Leland Maschmeyer (the design thinker behind Spotify and Microsoft)
  • ⭐ Grow with us: You have the chance to be one of the first 100 people at Lumos. At Lumos, you will build your function from the ground up, get exposure to different aspects of the business developing a diverse skill set, and most importantly, you’ll have the opportunity to pave your own path.

We are rewriting the IT playbook, one that better reflects our software eaten world. 

As our Head of Product, you will take on one of the most critical roles at Lumos: leading and transforming our product suite into a truly differentiated offering that our users love and cannot live without. This is an opportunity to define the product vision, build an exceptional product team, and establish processes that ensure our products consistently deliver value. You’ll work closely with engineering, marketing, and sales teams to drive innovation and execute our product strategy at one of the fastest-growing companies in Silicon Valley.

Your Responsibilities

  • Product Development Process Owner: You'll be responsible for establishing and standardizing the product development process across Lumos. From product discovery to launch, your leadership will ensure efficient product development and a strong GTM impact, fostering alignment between engineering and GTM teams.
  • Product Team Builder: You will rapidly hire and mentor top-tier PMs, developing them into high-performing leaders. You’ll cultivate a culture of accountability, teamwork, and cross-functional collaboration, ensuring the product team is a driving force within the company.
  • Strategic Vision Communicator: As the strategic voice of our product vision, you will clearly communicate the direction and priorities to all teams. Your ability to distill and convey this vision will ensure alignment, confidence, and focus across the organization.
  • Technical Expert and GTM Strategist: You will dive deep into technical details and guide the company through critical trade-offs. Simultaneously, your strong GTM acumen will drive innovative product decisions that boost both pre-sales engagement and post-sales customer satisfaction.
  • Cross-Functional Collaborator: You will foster strong partnerships between product, engineering, and GTM teams. Your role is crucial in ensuring that collaboration leads to successful product outcomes, aligning all stakeholders with the company’s objectives.

🙌 What We Value

We’re looking for a product leader with a deep understanding of B2B enterprise environments. More than your resume, we value your drive and vision to transform our product suite into one that sets new standards in the industry. Your passion for building great products and teams is what will set you apart.
