TELECOMMUTE                                                       LOCATION: Remote,  United States

IFundWomen seeks a Head of Product who will propel the next phase of rapid customer and revenue growth for IFundWomen. We are looking for a visionary who is dedicated to and deeply passionate about closing the funding gap for women entrepreneurs.

IFundWomen is a marketplace for women entrepreneurs and the people who want to fund them. We provide access to capital, coaching, mentoring, and lucrative connections to a network of women business owners that sparks confidence, accelerates knowledge, and ignites action.

As Head of Product, you will be building the product culture at IFW from the ground up leading the way in developing a world-class product experience. You will be responsible for the ideation, research, testing, and implementation of new products, strategies, processes and systems as well as overseeing the active management of our current core products.

Our Head of Product will need to balance flexibility with decisiveness as we dig deeper into our product-market fit. You should demonstrate strong leadership & communication skills and feel comfortable working cross-functionally across several teams including Engineering, Sales, Marketing, & Partnerships. You should feel as comfortable taking a birds-eye view setting broad strategic vision for the organization as you do being a hands-on efficient builder.

The role will report to our CEO, who does not like “yes people” and wants to be challenged on the product vision. This is your time to come into a fast growing, early stage startup and make history. This role for now will be located wherever your home office is - and eventually, hopefully our beautiful NYC Office in Chelsea.
