What You’ll Be Doing:
Product Strategy & Vision
- Own and evolve the multi-year product strategy across web, mobile, and internal platforms, translating IPSY’s business strategy into a clear, prioritized product point of view
- Define where IPSY plays and how it wins: identify high-leverage opportunities, weigh build/buy/partner trade-offs, and make the call on what not to pursue
- Serve as the connective tissue between the C-suite and the Product & UX organization, ensuring strategy drives the roadmap and roadmap execution reinforces strategy
- Champion IPSY’s “surprise and delight” brand promise in every strategic decision
Portfolio Prioritization & Roadmap Ownership
- Own portfolio-level prioritization across the product organization, weighing business impact, ROI, and team capacity to sequence investment across programs and platforms
- Build and maintain a data-driven, transparent roadmap that aligns Engineering, Design, Marketing, Merchandising, and Operations around shared priorities
- Establish product portfolio reviews and decision frameworks that give executive leadership real-time visibility into trade-offs and progress
- Tie every roadmap bet to a clear line of business impact - revenue, retention, or margin
Customer Experience & Growth
- Act as the authority on IPSY’s product suite and its current and future customers; own the end-to-end transaction funnel and customer journey across acquisition, activation, and retention
- Use data, qualitative research, and experimentation (A/B testing and beyond) to validate assumptions early, reduce risk, and continuously improve conversion and lifetime value
- Track competitive, consumer, and technology trends — including AI-enabled product experiences — to keep IPSY ahead of the market
- Guide the user experience and design strategy, ensuring products are intuitive, engaging, and solve real user problems
Cross-Functional & Executive Leadership
- Collaborate across the C-suite to align product strategy with company-wide priorities and growth targets
- Build trusted relationships with functional leaders to remove execution barriers and resolve cross-functional dependencies
- Represent Product in executive- and board-level conversations, translating strategy and portfolio health into clear, decision-ready narratives
Team & Organizational Development
- Recruit, develop, and retain a team of product leaders and managers capable of scaling with IPSY’s growth
- Build the frameworks, processes, and career paths that let the product organization scale efficiently as IPSY grows organically and through acquisition
- Foster a culture of ownership, rigor, and customer obsession across the product organization
