Leadership, Team Structure & Culture
You will report directly to the Chief Product Officer and operate as an individual contributor within the Product organization. This role will work closely with cross-functional partners and require travel to customer sites and field-trial locations to gather insights, support testing, and help translate real-world needs into product decisions.
The team's culture is high-accountability, candid, and action-oriented: risks are surfaced early, decisions are driven to closure, and individuals are expected to take ownership of outcomes. You will have meaningful autonomy and visibility, with the opportunity to directly influence Evolv’s product strategy and execution.
Where is the role located?
Our ideal candidate is based out of Evolv’s HQ in Waltham, Massachusetts, with limited flexibility for remote work. We may consider exceptional candidates who are based elsewhere. Domestic travel is expected to be approximately 25% to customer sites and field-trial locations.
