Company Description:

Crossover is inventing the future of work.  A future where high-skill jobs are available to anyone around the world - as long as they are the best-of-the-best in that skill.  We assemble teams of these rockstars, apply best-known playbooks to run the teams and provide a platform to help each team and individual continuously improve. Crossover then connects these teams to companies with specific needs.  And unlike freelancer marketplaces - Crossover only accepts customers looking for multi-year project or program needs.

Job Description:

The Technical Product Director will serve as a key member of the global executive team for Crossover and will be responsible for high-quality product roadmaps and delivery.  You will be responsible for both developing new products as well as modernizing enterprise software products we acquire.  It is you and your team’s responsibility to understand the market, the key technology trends, competitors and customer needs - then synthesize into a compelling roadmap to bring to market.  As part of the leadership team, you will be expected to run the product organization using a revolutionary and radically differentiated process. With a focus on small, great global teams, productivity, factory-like process, and quantifiable business impact, you will be expected to drive higher levels of value and productivity from your organization than most companies would expect to achieve. You must build, develop and engage a team from a global talent pool. In doing so, you must set an agenda for the function where the teams effectively and efficiently solve some of the most challenging software problems with product managers distributed around the globe. You will leverage your personal technical and product management depth in order to set a personal standard for Product Delivery excellence.

Key Responsibilities:

• Engage with internal and external customers, product managers and stakeholders to ensure that product roadmap obsessively aligns with customer value creation

• Implement program management strategies to achieve world-class productivity and cost efficiency

• Transform existing team of product managers into a highly effective delivery function, including upgrading and reorganizing our talent as required

• Engage and align top talent through strong recruitment, mentoring, hands-on leadership and career management

Required Experience and Education:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science (MS or PhD preferred)

• 15+ years of software product ownership  experience — this is a global leadership role for a seasoned leader, not a first executive role for a great program or product manager

• You must have brought several software products to market - a huge plus if your experience is enterprise software product focused

• Proven experience in building high-performance teams and scalable best program management practices

• Recent experience with cloud based solutions. Our products live in the cloud.

• Experience with high-end enterprise systems deployed in environments of Global 100 corporation complexity
