We are looking for amazing Heads of Product to lead the company in its growth and mission. Our Heads of Product lead large portions of the business, driving tangible business objectives. They don’t just lead engineers and design, they create cross-functional teams including all aspects of the business to tackle the most difficult problems for our customers. The Heads of Product will have PMs reporting to them, and will be responsible for product delivery across those sections of the business.

Omnipresent makes remote teams work, and in turn we are globally remote. Your design team can and should be located throughout the globe, which is an exciting opportunity to build a diverse powerful team making a global impact.

You are a strong leader and builder, have incredible drive and are naturally curious. You are especially good at detangling complex business goals and creating a team to achieve those goals. You take initiative, communicate well to drive your teams, drive projects independently, and report up clearly to the company executives.

This role reports to the VP of Product.

About Omnipresent

With a network of legal entities across the world, coupled with an automation-focused tech platform, we’re building the premier global employment-as-a-service offering on the market.
