Director of Product

Lightyear is looking for a commercially-minded Director of Product to join our team. The Director of Product will own the end-to-end product and go-to-market function, with a particular emphasis on product roadmap, product-market fit, methodology definition, design-partner development, and the technical sale across data subscribers and financial institutions. As Director of Product, you will own and shape what we build and who we build it for: defining the index methodology in partnership with our data team, running the design-partner research sprint, translating buyer pain into product requirements, and carrying the technical half of the sales conversation that turns interest into paying customers. You will translate a complex, technical data product into clear value for both infrastructure operators and investors, while building the early commercial motion from zero. This role is perfect for those who are as comfortable shaping methodology and product detail with engineers as they are sitting across from a FinOps lead, a quant fund, or an exchange partner and closing the deal.
