About the Team

MarketSphere provides unclaimed property compliance solutions for enterprise and mid-market organizations. Founded in 2002, MarketSphere serves thousands of organizations with annual compliance reporting, advisory, audit support, owner reunification, and corporate asset recovery. MarketSphere’s Innovation Center supports these services by delivering modern, secure, and scalable technology platforms that drive client success and internal efficiencies.

In August 2026, MarketSphere received a significant growth equity investment from Long Ridge Equity Partners to accelerate product development, expand sales and marketing, and invest in its people, platform, and client service. The company has an ambitious multi-year growth plan, and its technology platform will be central to reaching and exceeding it.

About the Role

The Head of Product will lead MarketSphere’s product organization and set the vision for how the company’s platform initiatives fit together. This role reports to the Chief Technology Officer, and partners closely with Engineering, Practice Leaders, and client delivery teams. This leader will set and steer the product vision, turn it into a business-case-driven roadmap, and continue building the team that ships and supports these solutions.

Much of what we build is sensitive or mission-critical, so you'll need fluency in what it takes to deliver software under strict regulatory compliance expectations. We operate in an environment of rapid growth and change, and we're constantly looking for ways to solve business problems better, faster, and more profitably. We've already built a broad foundation of modern products and platforms, and we're ramping the team up as we take our offerings to the next level.

Responsibilities

• Strategic Vision: Set MarketSphere’s product vision and 3 to 5-year roadmap, defining how the platform and initiatives across the enterprise fit together as a cohesive whole.

• Product Roadmap: Translate the vision into an executable roadmap with clear priorities, milestones, and deliverables for each 6 to12 month cycle.

Balance long-term core platform strategy with client-specific feature requests, managing both through a single prioritized roadmap and making clear tradeoff decisions that meet key client commitments without fragmenting the product.
• Program Performance Management: Stand up product telemetry and success metrics so that shipped features can be evaluated for their contribution to business goals by the CEO and Board.
