Head of Product

CivilGrid is the trusted civil design platform powering affordable infrastructure renewal and growth. We give utilities, civil engineers, and municipalities a single, collaborative source of truth for what's underground so teams can plan, design, and build faster, smarter, and safer.

Our platform consolidates utility records, geotechnical and environmental data, paving moratoriums, and jurisdictional requirements directly from 3,000+ utilities, agencies, and municipalities with full chain-of-custody documentation. Teams at PG&E, Mark Thomas, and dozens of leading engineering firms use CivilGrid to cut research time by up to 88%, reduce project costs, prevent dig-ins, and accelerate delivery on the projects that keep communities running.

We're a venture-backed Series A startup tackling a $4.7T US infrastructure market that has been underserved by software for decades. Founded by industry insiders, each with 10+ years in utilities and civil engineering, we move fast, ship work that matters, and stay close to the customers and field teams we build for.

As Head of Product at CivilGrid, you'll partner with both the engineering and leadership team to set the vision and roadmap for our product. This is a player-coach role: you'll own the roadmap end to end, partner closely with our engineering team to drive execution, and lead and grow a team of PMs shipping alongside them. We're looking for a builder who can go deep on technical detail with engineers one hour and zoom out to strategy with the executive team the next — and who's energized by getting product into customers' hands fast.

This role reports to the company CEO. It is a hybrid role with expectations that you are working from our Boston, MA or San Francisco, CA office at least 2 days per week if hired.

• →

  Set product vision and strategy with the CEO and leadership team, translating market opportunity into a focused, prioritized roadmap

• →

  Own the product roadmap end to end — from customer discovery and validation through launch, iteration, and measurement

• →

  Partner closely with engineering as a true thought partner: drive execution, work through trade-offs, and ship on fast cycles

• →

  Stay close to our customers to deeply understand their workflows and the decisions our platform needs to power

• →

  Lead and grow the product team: hire, mentor, and manage PMs while staying hands-on in the work yourself

• →

  Champion a default-to-shipping culture: get product into customers' hands fast, then learn and iterate

• 8+ years of product management experience, including 4+ years as a people manager

• You’ve shipped multiple iterations of successful B2B products

• You can go deep on technical detail with engineers and zoom out to strategy with executives in the same hour

• Start up ready - you’re autonomous, move fast, and take initiative without being asked

• You default to shipping - you'd rather get something in front of users this month than perfect it for next quarter

• Bonus: prior industry experience in Utilities, Construction, or Climate Tech

• Bonus: a degree in Civil Engineering, or a related field (B.S. or M.S.)

We're a small, but rapidly growing team that ships. Expect direct feedback, real ownership from day one, and proximity to customers — huge utilities, public agencies, and engineering firms whose work depends on what we build. We default to in-person collaboration where it matters and remote-friendly flexibility otherwise. We hire people who care deeply about their craft and the communities our customers serve.
