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.
