Build for the whole business, not just the app.

We are fundamentally an operations business. We sell the outcome to our provider entrepreneurs (done for you healthcare admin), and accomplish the outcome more efficiently than competitors with AI enablement. This means that internal tools are a core part of our product. You should love designing integrations with HubSpot, or our own internal CRMs, where our ops teams across client intake, prior authorizations, revenue cycle, provider success, and more actually live.

Treat product as a process across the whole org, not just a function.

Our Strategy & Operations team members are empowered to build prototypes and sit directly with engineers. You won't act as a gatekeeper between the business and engineering; your job is to facilitate and translate. Some days that means coaching an ops team member on how to write a good ticket. Other days it means designing the product yourself. Whatever it takes to get good product shipped.

Grow the team the AI-native way.

Engineering is shipping faster than ever, and we feel the strain on the product side. We don't want to solve that by throwing more PM headcount at it that slows down the velocity we've built. As Head of Product, you'll define how a small, AI-native product org keeps pace with engineering without becoming a bottleneck through tooling, process, and leverage, not just hiring.

Get in the weeds.

This isn't a role where you review mocks on Fridays. You're prototyping, pressure-testing, and iterating. You have opinions about the details. AI is changing what it means to be "in the weeds," and you're leaning into that, using tools like Claude Code and Cursor to go from idea to working demo yourself.

Set the tempo.

Create pace and urgency without chaos. Define what "fast" means for Alpaca's product org: how decisions get made, how work moves through the system, how the team stays focused on what matters. Remove friction. Raise the clock speed.

Win with us.

This is a company-building role, not just a product role. You'll contribute to decisions that extend well beyond your function: go-to-market, hiring, and company strategy. You care about Alpaca winning, not just Product winning.

🧠 Who You Are

You are extremely ambitious and want to build category-defining products.

You are AI-native, you already use tools like Claude Code, Cursor, or similar to build and prototype.

You are technical enough to understand how systems actually work (APIs, data pipelines, AI/LLM systems).

You are a builder: you default to creating, not coordinating.

You are a strong product thinker with clear opinions and high judgment.

You are obsessed with customers and spend time methodically breaking down complex workflows into clear, step-by-step processes.

You thrive in ambiguity and move quickly without waiting for perfect clarity.

You are not a project manager—you make decisions and drive outcomes.
