About The Role

Flowcode is looking for a passionate leader who is a master craftsperson at product and human experiences.  The role requires someone who has demonstrated the ability to create physical and digital products and experiences that span the offline and online world at scale.  Flowcode’s culture is teamwork-based, curious, execution focused, data driven, and fun.  Flowcode was designed and built on a product vision and the company is looking for someone who wants to partner with the founding team, CTO and tech organization, marketplace teams, and most importantly, our creators and consumers and partners.  

The role requires someone who is obsessive and relentless about product development and product research and development.  The company wants the CPO to sharpen, simplify, and expand the core vision of the company, not create a new vision.  The company works in an extreme teamwork environment with a focus on improving 1% a day and daily reviews of product performance and testing.  The company is full of bright, motivated, and talented humans who are passionate about the product and our creators, consumers, and partners.  Leaders and team members at Flowcode enjoy the ability to come to work everyday and work on things that matter.  

The CPO role at Flowcode reports to the CEO and is heavily partnered with the CTO, Head of Design, and Chief Business Officer, as well as the Flowcode Executive Team.  The CPO role serves on the Flowcode Executive Team and will be a regular and active participant with the Flowcode Board of Directors and Advisors. 

The CPO role is the “Why” role of what we are building.  The CTO role is “How” we are building..  The CBO role is “Who and What” we sell.  The CEO role is “Where” we are going and “When” we are going.

• Run a consistent yearly, quarterly, monthly, weekly, and daily process for the product team, all connected teams, and the company.  Running a well planned, organized product process and communication process across the company is the most critical function outside of product excellence in the marketplace
• Retain, Recruit, Train, Coach, and Promote a world-class product and product marketing team
• Run product processes that fully stretch and challenge ideas and create an environment where the CEO to the newest team member can be challenged and overruled on product  decisions
