VP of Product

The posting, as Allspice wrote it

ABOUT ALLSPICE

AllSpice is building the workflow infrastructure platform for hardware engineering teams.

Hardware teams are developing the next generation of autonomous vehicles, robots, rockets, medical devices, industrial systems, AI infrastructure, and advanced connected products. But the way they operate is still dominated by PDFs, shared drives, email threads, manual reviews, disconnected tools, and institutional knowledge trapped in individual engineers’ heads.

AllSpice helps electrical and hardware engineering teams collaborate on circuit designs, review changes, automate checks, manage design history, and build a reliable system of record for complex hardware development.

We’re at a critical inflection point with strong enterprise demand, a growing GTM engine, deep technical differentiation, and a product surface that spans collaboration, automation, AI, enterprise workflows, and hardware development infrastructure. We’re looking for a VP of Product to help turn that opportunity into a focused, category-defining product strategy.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As VP of Product, you will own AllSpice’s product strategy, roadmap, customer insights, product operating system, and product team.

You will serve as a key member of the leadership team and partner closely with the CEO, CTO, CRO, VP of Software, Sales, Customer Experience, Marketing, Design, and Engineering to define where the product is going, what customer and market opportunities we prioritize, and how product decisions help steer the business.

AllSpice is defining a new category for hardware engineering workflows, and the right leader will help decide what that category becomes.

You’ll inherit a product with strong technical foundations, passionate customers, a large roadmap surface, and clear enterprise pull. You’ll also help us sharpen product focus, improve roadmap prioritization, synthesize customer input, increase user adoption, build stronger product observability, and improve cross-functional decision-making.

You should be excited by highly technical products, specialized users, ambiguous markets, and the challenge of translating complex hardware development workflows into simple, durable, and valuable product experiences.
