About BusRight
Districts run their bus operations on BusRight every school day. We’ve found product-market fit, and the business is growing. What we build next determines whether we stay a useful tool or become the platform K-12 transportation runs on. Our next Head of Product owns that outcome.
You’ll report to the CPO and own product and design end to end: strategy, roadmap, team and execution. You’ll be hands-on, setting direction, making calls and shipping, while you build the team around you.
What Success Looks Like
- You know BusRight’s users, market and product deeply.
- The product strategy is sharper and clearer, built on what exists and backed by evidence.
- You’ve shipped bets you owned from framing through delivery, and they moved customer and business outcomes.
- Product drives BusRight. The right team is in place, and every function builds from its direction.
- Customer value is measured and reported across BusRight’s products and services, and that evidence drives roadmap and commercial decisions.
- The CPO, CEO and Engineering treat you as a trusted thought partner on where the product goes next.
What You Will Do
- Work with the founders to define and pressure-test where BusRight wins.
- Translate strategy into a living roadmap where every priority and commitment is tied to the value it delivers.
- Own the product lifecycle from discovery through launch and outcome measurement.
- Own product analytics, defining how BusRight measures adoption and usage and partnering with CS and Commercial to put those measures to work.
- Report on the value customers get from BusRight’s products and services, and use it to guide roadmap and commercial decisions.
- Make the hard calls on what not to build, and what to give up on when it isn’t working.
- Partner with Engineering to ship reliably at scale without losing speed.
- Stay in direct contact with users and customers. This role doesn't delegate learning.
- Represent product in board conversations, partner discussions, and recruiting
- Hire, develop and retain a world-class product and design team as we scale.
- Hold the product team to a high bar of rigor, craft and accountability to outcomes, not output.
- Build a product-led culture across BusRight, where every team understands customer value and brings evidence to its decisions.
What We Are Looking For
- Leadership experience: 3–5 years in product leadership, with meaningful time at early-stage or high-growth companies.
- Product-market fit: found it rather than inherited it. In the room while the answer was still unclear, made bets, got some wrong, cracked it, and can tell that story in detail.
- Consumer product experience: a feel for what makes people love a product and come back to it. EdTech is a plus, not a requirement.
- Product and design ownership: has led product design as well as product management.
- Team building: a track record of hiring and developing strong PMs at early-stage companies.
- Metrics-oriented: frames problems in numbers, sets clear success measures and knows when the data is strong enough to act on.
- Technical depth: works through trade-offs with engineers. Coding is a plus, not a requirement.
- AI-native: uses AI to research, analyze, prototype and validate, knows where it belongs in the product, and sets the standard for how the team uses it.
- Ownership mindset: sees what needs doing and does it without being asked.

Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote head of finance and operations openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your experience and apply directly without sorting through location-based listings that don't apply to you.
Show async financial reporting in your portfolio
Remote employers want proof you can deliver financial analysis and operational updates without real-time check-ins. Include examples of dashboards, board-ready reports, or written budget narratives you've built independently, and name the tools you used, such as Looker, QuickBooks Online, or Google Sheets.
Highlight distributed team coordination experience
Remote head of finance and operations roles require managing vendors, finance teams, and cross-functional stakeholders across time zones. Call out specific projects where you coordinated financial close processes, procurement cycles, or operational initiatives entirely through written communication and tools like Slack, Notion, or Asana.
Prepare for remote finance and ops case interviews
Many remote employers for this role run a working exercise before final rounds, often a budget model, a process audit brief, or an operational plan memo. Practice delivering a clean, well-labeled output asynchronously, since how you present and document your thinking matters as much as the analysis itself.
