Chief Product Officer
We are seeking a strategic Chief Product Officer to lead product innovation and technology strategy at a GIS solutions company in the Brydon Group portfolio.
You'll drive the evolution from custom configurations to market-leading products that define the future of spatial intelligence in local government, translating customer needs into scalable platforms that transform how organizations understand and interact with geographic data.
You'll report directly to the CEO and engage directly with both our technical team & customers to shape and scale our product offering.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in growth environments, understands the nuances of GIS, and is comfortable navigating trade-offs, tech debt, and user complexity. You will be expected to set direction, say "no" when needed, and focus the company around a cohesive product strategy.
Key Responsibilities:
- Drive product strategy and roadmap, transforming configured solutions into standardized, market-ready SaaS products
- Lead product lifecycle, from definition and prioritization through to launch and continuous improvement, ensuring technology decisions align with customer needs and business objectives
- Effectively partner with sales, marketing and technical teams to bring clarity and focus to the tech development process — making bold choices, even when it means closing doors
- Proactively evaluate how AI can be embedded in the product to create real productivity gains
- Maintain technical fluency — understand the SDLC, tech stack, APIs, and architectural trade-offs (you don't need to code, but you need to engage deeply)
- Oversee technical processes to ensure scalable, secure, and reliable systems
- Talk directly to customers to gather insights and validate decisions
- Champion product innovation with emerging technologies including AI/ML, digital twins, indoor mapping, 3D mapping, and real-time spatial analytics
Requirements
You Might be a Fit if You:
- Have 10+ years of technology leadership experience with proven track record of building and scaling SaaS products from concept to market
- Have a solid technical foundation in ESRI ecosystem or GIS broadly, cloud architecture, APIs, and scalable system design
- Are deeply customer-focused and comfortable owning customer discovery and validation
- Know how to balance UX improvements, technical architecture, and feature delivery
- Can work autonomously and drive cross-functional alignment with minimal oversight
- Understand Agile, can write clear specs, and know how to work with engineers to get things built
- Have an eye for detail and can wireframe user flows to communicate product ideas
- Are excited to be part of a high-ownership, fast-growth company where product will shape the future
Success in This Role Looks Like:
- We're shipping scalable SaaS offerings that our customers love
- You've established a technology strategy we can rally behind and execute on
- We're build a strong technical team who understand how to be customer-focused while delivering world-class tech
Benefits
Why Join Us:
- High-autonomy, high-impact role with meaningful ownership
- A chance to build and scale a product that solves real pain for real users at the intersection of geospatial data and AI
