VP Domain Leader

As the VP, Domain Leader, you will be the strategic architect of Sonar’s core product ecosystem. Reporting directly to the Chief Product Officer (CPO), you will oversee a high‑performing organization of approximately 20 product professionals, including Group Product Managers (GPMs). This high‑impact leadership role is responsible for the Sonar Platform and Code Orchestration layer, the Sonar Storefront (Billing, Permissions, Growth), and the Developer Experience (DevEx) including UX, MCP, CLI, APIs, and integrations. You will work in a "power‑couple" partnership with our VP of Engineering to deliver scalable, AI‑driven solutions to a global B2B customer base.

What you will do

• Strategic Vision: Define and drive a compelling vision that aligns with Sonar’s long‑term business goals.
• Business Translation: Convert complex business needs into actionable product initiatives, balancing technical debt with rapid innovation.
• Domain Evangelism: Act as the primary advocate for your domain both internally (to the C‑suite and Sales) and externally (to customers and the developer community).
• Execution & GTM Readiness: Personally lead the demonstration of MVPs and ensure the entire domain is primed for Go‑To‑Market success, working closely with Marketing and Sales.
• Cross‑Domain Orchestration: Serve as the strategic "smoother" for cross‑domain initiatives. While GPMs and PMs own the tactical execution, you remove high‑level friction and ensure alignment across the broader organization.
• Performance Monitoring: Take full accountability for the health of your domain, specifically tracking and optimizing ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) and Product Adoption metrics.
• AI Transformation: Lead the change in integrating AI into the product lifecycle and the product itself, transforming how the team works and how our customers experience Sonar.

Experience and qualifications

• B2B Impact: A track record of delivering large‑scale deployments to B2B customers with measurable business impact (e.g., significant revenue growth, enhanced engagement, or operational cost savings).
• Deep Technical DNA: You are at home serving technical users, with a deep understanding of Platform infrastructure, APIs, and CLI tools, and the ability to translate these complex concepts into business value for an executive audience.
• Visionary Communication: Exceptional ability to influence and inspire. You can articulate a "big picture" vision to the C‑level while remaining grounded in the technical realities of engineering.
• People First: A proven ability to recruit, mentor, and retain a multi-disciplinary team. You foster a culture of intellectual curiosity and high-velocity delivery.
• Growth Mindset: Comfortable operating in an organization with 30%+ YoY growth. You are flexible, open to change, and thrive in environments where scaling is a continuous demand.
