About the job
The Opportunity
Clearstory is on the hunt for an experienced Vice President of Product to spearhead product execution and influence the evolution of our product strategy as we expand a robust financial workflow platform tailored for the construction industry.
With a solid product-market fit, increasing industry demand, impressive retention and expansion rates, and billions in change orders processed through our platform, your role will be to transform an already effective solution into something extraordinary.
As the VP of Product, you will operate at the crossroads of Product, Engineering, and business strategy. You will collaborate closely with the CEO and the executive team, bringing in-depth customer insights, sound product judgment, and operational discipline to translate company vision into actionable product initiatives that deliver consistent results.
You will take ownership of the entire product lifecycle, from initial discovery and prioritization through to delivery and user adoption, while also building and leading a high-performing product team. Your contributions will directly influence the only business network designed to manage out-of-contract work in construction, encompassing change orders, time and materials tickets, allowances, pricing, and approvals, facilitating the flow of billions of dollars through Clearstory each month and ensuring companies are paid accurately and efficiently.
This leadership position is ideal for a candidate who thrives in a fast-paced, scaling environment, embraces ambiguity, values strong opinions and constructive debate, and knows how to execute decisively once a direction is established. We seek a builder at heart, not someone seeking their first VP role or who prefers maintaining existing products.
If you are passionate about complex financial workflows, alleviating real customer pain, and defining a category, this role will be both challenging and immensely rewarding.
