VP & Executive Product Jobs

VP of Product and executive product roles — including CPO and SVP — represent the pinnacle of the product career ladder. At this level, you own the entire product organisation: setting vision, building the leadership team, and ensuring product strategy drives business growth. A VP of Product at companies like Wise, Revolut, or Canva is accountable for everything the product org ships, from feature quality to team culture to business metrics. The role is fundamentally different from director-level work. You're no longer managing PMs directly — you're managing managers, setting organisational strategy, and representing product at the board and investor level. Executive product leaders shape company direction, influence fundraising narratives, and make decisions that affect hundreds of people. The best VPs of Product combine deep product intuition (from years of hands-on work) with the leadership presence to align an entire company around a product vision. It's rare to find both in one person, which is why these roles command significant compensation and carry enormous impact.
