The Product Team

About The Challenge
As we enter an ambitious new stage of growth, we’re looking beyond our core products to find what our customers will need next. To lead this next chapter, we’re looking for a VP of Incubation Hub, reporting directly to the CPO.
In a nutshell, you’ll build and lead a new team whose job is to find, test, and develop new product opportunities for our customer base of millions, with more than 35 million domains under management. While our core teams grow and strengthen today’s products, you’ll explore what comes next.
Think of the link between owning a domain and a social media presence, commerce and payments, or AI personal agents. You’ll start with a small team of product managers, and grow it from there. Working AI-first, you’ll move quickly across product, design and technology. Success won’t be measured by how many things you launch. It will be measured by how well you take ideas through the full cycle: testing, learning, and either scaling them or letting them go.
Why Join Us?
A rare mandate. Decide what to build, reinvent, partner on, or retire across a diverse portfolio, with direct access to our CPO and the backing to act.
Room to create. Spot new opportunities through an agentic lens and shape the next generation of tools for businesses that are starting and growing.
Test ideas at real scale. Validate and launch new offerings with a base of millions of customers worldwide.
Variety that keeps you sharp. From email and security to marketing tools, no two days look the same, making this ideal for leaders who thrive across product types.
