Director of Product

What We Do
 
Roo (www.roo.vet) has created the first B2B labor marketplace in animal healthcare that connects veterinary professionals with hospitals through innovative technology, with opportunities to expand and offer more opportunities for both our demand & supply of users. 
 
Our dynamic platform enables hospitals to fulfill personnel needs in real time, while allowing high-quality veterinary professionals to secure work at the click of a button.  Beyond the platform, Roo represents a growing opportunity to help hospitals meet all-things staffing, and a growing community of resilient vet industry professionals who value flexibility and work-life balance, in addition to providing the best possible outcomes for clients and their pets.  
 
Our aim is to combine experienced healthcare expertise with Silicon Valley talent to shake up this industry and change the way veterinarians and hospitals work!

About the Role

As the Director of Product at our Series A veterinary tech marketplace startup, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping product strategy within our squad-based operating model. Leading a team of Product Managers, you'll drive initiatives that fuel growth and establish scalable processes for efficient expansion. Working closely with the SVP of Product, Growth & Design, you'll help define objectives for key product initiatives, measure their impact, and guide them through the full lifecycle—from identifying opportunities and sizing them to measuring outcomes and maintaining dashboards to track progress.

Reporting directly to the SVP of Product, Growth & Design, you'll manage a team of 4 Senior Product Managers and collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to ensure the success of our product strategy and company growth.

While the role will operate on a remote basis, you will be required to occasionally be onsite in our San Francisco co-working space for meetings and team events.

Your Responsibilities

  • Partner with the SVP of Product, Growth & Design to set and monitor objectives and core metrics for all product initiatives.
  • Identify and prioritize product opportunities that will drive significant impact as we scale.
  • Develop and maintain dashboarding to help product teams and leadership monitor their progress of each independent OKR.
  • Manage a team of Product Managers, fostering their growth and ensuring high-performance output.
  • Refine our squad-based operating model, establishing scalable processes and frameworks that support our expanding product portfolio.
  • Leverage deep understanding of marketplace metrics and ecosystem dynamics to drive product decisions that scale our platform.
  • Use SQL expertise to drive data-informed product strategies, translating insights into a clear and effective execution direction for product teams.
  • Partner with the Go To Market team to identify opportunities for and measure impact creation/improvement of “levers”.
  • Work closely with Engineering, Design, and other departments to ensure efficient execution of our product strategy.
  • Partner with the SVP Product, Growth & Design to investigate and size new opportunities.

Qualifications

  • 10+ years of product management experience, with at least 3 years in a senior role at a fast-growing marketplace startup.
  • Proven track record of scaling product strategies and leading high-performing product teams.
  • Experience in refining and implementing scalable product development processes and effective squad structures in a startup environment.
  • Expert-level SQL skills and strong analytical capabilities.
  • Deep understanding of marketplace dynamics and growth strategies.
  • Exceptional leadership skills with the ability to inspire and motivate cross-functional teams.
  • Strong communication skills, able to articulate complex product strategies to diverse audiences.
  • Passion for transforming the animal health industry through innovative technology solutions.
  • Your leadership and emotional intelligence enable you to inspire and motivate cross-functional stakeholders through influence rather than authority.
  • You are passionate about Roo’s mission to transform the animal health industry through innovative technology, and are committed to driving successful outcomes—whatever it takes.

Since we're a remote first company, compensation ranges are based on where you live.  Please see below for examples of compensation ranges based on some state averages. With that being said, if you are based in San Francisco we operate a hybrid model with two days a week in our shared workspace at Canopy, Jackson Square.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
