About the Role

Katalyze AI is looking for a VP of Product to lead product strategy and execution for our AI-native platform serving engineers and scientists in biopharma and advanced manufacturing. You'll work at the intersection of deep customer insight, AI capabilities, and enterprise software — turning complex scientific workflows into intuitive, high-value product experiences.

What You'll Do

• Define and own the product vision, roadmap, and strategy aligned with company growth goals
• Deeply understand the micro-moments that drive (or hinder) daily product usage and design interventions to increase adoption and stickiness
• Conduct regular customer discovery and maintain a close feedback loop with enterprise accounts
• Translate the needs of engineers and scientists into clear, actionable product requirements
• Partner closely with engineering and AI/ML teams to build data-heavy, agent-powered product capabilities
• Define and track product metrics (activation, retention, expansion) and use data to drive decisions
• Build and lead a product management team as the company scales

What We're Looking For

• 8\+ years of product management experience, with 3\+ years in a leadership role
• Mandatory: B2B enterprise software background with complex technical buyers
• Strong understanding of AI/ML capabilities and data products — you know what's possible and can guide what's worth building
• Experience building products for technical users (engineers, data scientists, or scientists)
• Track record of increasing product usage through thoughtful UX, onboarding, and engagement strategies
• Excellent customer-facing skills — comfortable conducting discovery interviews and presenting roadmaps to enterprise stakeholders
• Experience in life sciences, biotech, or industrial/manufacturing is a strong plus
