We believe that success in product comes from curiosity, collaboration, and a relentless focus on creating value for customers and at Black Spectacles you'll find all three.

We're seeking a Head of Product to work closely with our CEO to shape and execute the roadmap for our SaaS-based online learning platform and eLearning products. You'll bring analytical rigor and a thoughtful, straightforward communication style. You listen deeply, anticipate risks, and organize complex problems into clear, actionable steps. You'll play a key role in turning strategy into action partnering across teams to deliver products that create measurable impact for customers and drive business growth.

At Black Spectacles, you'll benefit from :

  • A team that lives and celebrates our values daily.
  • Regular opportunities to see and feel the impact of your work.
  • A fully remote work environment, complemented by semi-annual company trips to build connections.

Our Ideal Teammate :

  • Is motivated by contributing to a mission-driven company that supports the architecture and design community.

  • Brings creative problem solving while staying grounded in customer insight, financial responsibility, and solid execution.
  • Balances customer needs, business priorities, and product execution with sound judgment.
  • Takes ownership and accountability for outcomes.
  • Encourages calculated risks and shares ideas in a supportive environment.
  • Takes a world-class approach to their work and values collaboration.
  • Lives our values of excellence, innovation, and taking care of our people.
  • Role Overview

    As a Head of Product, you'll own major areas of our SaaS-based online learning platform and eLearning products. You'll translate strategic direction into actionable product plans, oversee backlogs, and guide cross-functional execution to deliver high-quality releases. You'll work closely with Engineering, Learning / Content, Marketing, Sales, and Customer Success to ensure decisions are grounded in customer insight and business outcomes such as ROI with clear trade-offs, success metrics, and risk rationale. You'll help maintain clarity and momentum by organizing priorities, setting steady rhythms, and supporting teams to deliver high-quality products.

    We offer a competitive base salary of $140,000 to $190,000, commensurate with experience and qualifications.
