Head of Product

Captur helps software understand real world scenes in real-time with an SDK for flexible, on-demand visual recognition. We’re a small, rapidly scaling team backed by top-tier investors; we recently closed a $6M seed round to accelerate product and go-to-market growth. We are global leaders in edge ML and have validated +150M images on-device for enterprise customers such as Lime. Next, expanding as a horizontal platform across use cases that require real-time speed, high volume and coverage across a wide range of mobile devices.

We’re hiring a hands-on Head of Product — the solo product lead today, with a Product Designer reporting to you. You’ll own the roadmap, ship high-impact SDK features, design pilots, build repeatable product processes and recruit our first PM. You’ll work closely with Sales/CS/Engineering and be the product voice for customers. This is a rare chance to scale a product function from the ground up and directly influence ARR.

This role reports directly to the CEO (based in New York) — expect fast decisions, visible impact and a close partnership with the founder. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in product management, excellent leadership skills and a proven track record of bringing successful AI products to market.

• Define and communicate the product vision and strategy working alongside the CEO
• Collaborate with Machine Learning, Engineering, Data Analytics and Commercial teams to gather and prioritise product requirements in order to achieve the company strategy and goals.
• Own the full product lifecycle: you’ll be our sole product lead day-to-day and accountable for product outcomes.
• Ship reliably: write concise, testable specs and acceptance criteria, enforce ticket hygiene, unblock Engineering, publish release notes and run short post-release reviews (PRRs) to validate outcomes.
• Make pilot outcomes measurable: define success metrics, ensure tracking is in place before launch and own the dashboards that show results.
• Org build & hiring (15%)
• Hire, onboard and mentor the first Product Manager (target end of Q2); create the PM JD, interview plan and a 30/60/90 onboarding.
• Line-manage the Product Designer and set core product rhythms (1:1s, planning cadences).
• Experimentation & measurement (15%)
• Design experiments that measure monetisable outcomes (conversion, pilot → paid, ARR influence). Own hypothesis, experiment design and go/no-go decisions.
• Partner with Data & ML to validate metric integrity and translate experiment results into commercial recommendations.
• GTM partnership & pilots (10%)
• Design convertible pilots with Sales/CS: define success criteria and deliver the evidence pack (dashboard, playbook & acceptance tests). Product owns the evidence pack;
  Sales/CS own negotiation and contracting.
• Act as product sponsor on strategic pilots to remove technical blockers and shorten time-to-value.

• 30 Days:
  Stabilise and prioritise
• Rapidly map the product surface, backlog, active pilots and outstanding technical debt; meet customers and Sales to surface urgent blockers.
• Deliver a 30/60/90 plan to the CEO that includes one priority revenue experiment and a pragmatic triage of the top 5 product issues to fix immediately.
• Establish immediate visibility: a one-page dashboard for the CEO showing the top metric(s) for active pilots
• 60 days:
  Deliver quick wins and start product rhythms
• Ship 1–2 high-impact fixes or small features that demonstrate clear business value or shorten pilot time-to-value.
• Put in place the minimum viable product rhythms (weekly planning, weekly sync, short PRR checklist) and enforce them for the team.
• Ensure instrumentation is in place for any live pilots and that the evidence pack template is used.
• 90 days:
  Codify process and hire:
• Own a pilot/feature with a validated outcome (go/no-go) and a recommended roadmap change.
• Codify at least three lightweight process artifacts the team uses (e.g. scoping template, release checklist, decision log).
• Deliver the PM hiring spec and a shortlist plan; begin interviews for the first PM
• Product rhythms are running consistently and the team adheres to…
