Canopy, Draper, UT

What We Do

Canopy is a fast-growing, well-capitalized SaaS startup building the leading cloud-based practice management platform for accountants. We are bringing beautiful, modern software to the accounting industry while creating an amazing place to work for our people.

Canopy is a product-first company. We believe that building a product that truly meets the needs of users is the core of the success we’ve enjoyed to date, and will be the core of our future success. We are hiring a Head of Product to help us further our vision. The Head of Product will report to our CEO and manage our Product Management and UX teams while collaborating closely with our Engineering team. 

This position is a hybrid role in Draper, UT.

What You’ll Do

The Head of Product is responsible for determining the long-term vision of our product, and the short- and medium-term roadmap to get us from here to there. This vision comes from developing a deep understanding of the needs of our customers. We are looking for a Head of Product who will communicate often with our prospects and users to understand their needs. We also want someone who knows how to listen to our marketing, sales and customer success and support teams. The right person will be able to assimilate all of these inputs and then decide which features will add the most value and then figure out the best and smartest way to build them. The Head of Product will work collaboratively with our Engineering Group in a squad model. This role will also work with our executive team and others across the company, modeling curiosity and candor in all they do. (We’re big on those here.)

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

• Create a product vision that meets the needs of our customers, and translate that vision into a roadmap. 
• Sell that vision and roadmap to the entire company, as well as externally. 
• Collaborate with engineering to build the roadmap in such a way that the software delights prospects and customers, driving new sales, retention and expansion. 
• Provide direct leadership and management to the Product Management and UX teams.
