VP of Product

The posting, as Apexanalytix wrote it

Position Title: Vice President, Product
Reports to: Chief Product & Technology Officer

POSITION DESCRIPTION
apexanalytix is the world's leading provider of supplier onboarding, risk management and recovery solutions. Founded in 1988 and headquartered in Greensboro, NC, apexanalytix is a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Supplier Risk Management Solutions. More than 320 of the world's largest companies use our AI-native platform to protect over $9.5 trillion in annual spend.
apexanalytix is seeking a product executive to serve as VP of Product, reporting to the Chief Product & Technology Officer (CPTO) and sitting on the CPTO's leadership team. The role has two linked mandates. First, lead product discovery across the company, so that what we build is valuable, usable, feasible and viable before engineering commits to it. Second, own how investment requests reach engineering: one transparent process that weighs every ask against outcomes and funds standing teams rather than projects.
We are moving to the product operating model. Product, engineering and design are organized into four persistent trios: Supplier Journey, Buyer Journey, Data & Intelligence, and Platform. Each is funded against outcome goals. The VP of Product leads the product leaders of all four trios, including the Platform product leader in Noida, India, and the product operations function.
The VP of Product works as a peer and partner to the Head of Design, VP Engineering, Head of AI & Data, SVP Engineering & Head of India GCC, and Head of GRC. Outside the CPTO organization, the role works closely with Go-to-Market, Professional Services, Assurance & Recovery services, finance and the executive team. Deep fluency in the product operating model described by Marty Cagan is required. Practical experience running Teresa Torres's continuous discovery habits is highly valued, as is a background in governance, risk and compliance (GRC), especially third-party risk management.

Trusted Advisor

• Advises the CPTO and the executive team on product strategy, market and customer insight, and where to invest next across supplier onboarding, risk, payment controls, recovery, and data and agentic products.
• Is the voice of the customer and of product discovery on the CPTO leadership team, bringing evidence rather than opinion to investment debates.
• Coaches executives and stakeholders on the product operating model: why we fund outcomes instead of features, and how discovery reduces the risk of what we build.

Roles and Requirements
Product discovery

• Discovery leadership. Owns how discovery is done across all four trios. Ensures every team tackles value, usability, feasibility and business viability risk before engineering commits to build.
• Continuous discovery habits. Establishes weekly customer touchpoints by each product trio, with suppliers, procurement, AP, finance and compliance users. Introduces opportunity solution trees, interview snapsho

Scope Boundaries
This role owns product discovery, product vision and strategy, the product organization across all four trios, product operations, and the process by which investment requests reach engineering. Engineering delivery, quality and technical standards sit with the VP Engineering, the SVP Engineering & Head of India GCC and the Chief Architect. Design leadership, the design system and research practice sit with the Head of Design; the VP of Product partners closely on discovery. The Data & Intelligence trio is led by the Head of AI & Data, with its product leader reporting to this role. Security policy, compliance and third-party risk for apexanalytix itself sit with the Head of GRC. Client commercial relationships, pricing and packaging decisions sit with Go-to-Market leadership, with input from this role.
