About the Role

We are looking for a VP of Product to own Murphy AI’s product direction end-to-end. Your mission is simple and demanding: ensure we build the right products at the right time by defining a clear product vision, strategy, and roadmap grounded in deep customer understanding, strong business judgment, and tight partnership with Engineering. This is a founding-level product leadership role. You will work directly with the founders as a thought partner, being a member of the Leadership Team, shaping long-term strategy, making hard trade-offs explicit, and creating durable competitive advantage. You will set the bar for product excellence and establish the product culture as Murphy AI scales. In Murphy’s competitive environment, only the best product wins.

Responsibilities

• Own product vision and strategy: Define a clear product vision and strategy aligned with Murphy AI’s long-term goals. Make explicit trade-offs, set strategic bets, and translate them into a focused, outcome-driven roadmap.
• Drive product-market fit: Ensure a strong fit across core use cases by grounding decisions in customer insight, data, and experimentation. Improve adoption, retention, and customer satisfaction in measurable ways.
• Deliver outcomes through Product–Engineering partnership: Operate as one aligned organization with Engineering. Establish clear ownership and ways of working so teams ship meaningful outcomes predictably, not just features.
• Embed customer-led decision-making and spread it in our culture: Maintain direct contact with customers and ensure customer learning clearly shapes prioritization and roadmap decisions.

Requirements

• Senior product leadership experience: Proven experience defining and leading product strategy for scale-ups, high-impact products, ideally in B2B or regulated environments.
• Strong product judgment: Ability to make sound decisions under uncertainty, balancing customer value, business impact, and technical constraints.
• Customer-obsessed mindset: Deep experience using qualitative insight, data, and experimentation to drive product decisions.
• Execution-focused leader: Track record of turning strategy into shipped outcomes through close partnership with Engineering.
• AI-native curiosity: Strong interest in AI-native products and emerging trends, with the ability to translate them into real customer value.
• Founder-level influence: Comfortable working directly with founders, building trust, and challenging assumptions with clarity and credibility.

Nice to have

• Leadership Team experience.

What we offer

• Stock options: Because we all build Murphy together – you'll own a piece of what we’re creating.
• Impact: Be part of our startup journey from day one, playing a key role in our growth and building something meaningful from the ground up.
• Learning: Continuous development through trainings, knowledge-sharing, and exposure to other top-tier startups in our ecosystem.
• Hybrid & Flexible: Our default setup is hybrid – 3 days a week at our office, surrounded by a thriving tech scene, and 2 days of remote work. But if there’s one thing that defines us, it’s flexibility: we trust you to organize your time and space in the way that helps you do your best work.

Our Process

We believe that hiring is a two-way street: while we get to know you, you also deserve the chance to understand who we are, how we work, and what makes Murphy AI special. Here’s what you can expect:

• First Interview – Getting to Know You: A conversation with a future teammate who’s excited to find a new colleague. We’ll talk about your story, what drives you, and what you’re looking for next—no trick questions, just a genuine exchange.
• Second Interview – Deep Dive: You’ll meet the Hiring Manager and potentially another team member. This is a more technical discussion where we explore your skills in detail, walk through real scenarios, and answer any questions you might have about the role.
• Tech Assessment or Business Case: A practical exercise to see how you approach challenges similar to those you’d tackle at Murphy. You’ll have time to reflect and showcase your thinking—no rush, no surprises.
• Coffee at the Office with the Founders: Finally, you’ll join us in our Barcelona office for a relaxed coffee with the founders and the Hiring Manager. It’s the perfect opportunity to experience our culture firsthand and meet more of the team who could soon be your colleagues.

We are committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace where everyone, regardless of background, identity, or experience, feels valued and empowered to thrive. We believe that different perspectives drive innovation and success, and we actively foster an environment where all voices are heard and respected.
