Co-founding Head of Product / CPO at Pre-seed AI automation startup
Are you ready to disrupt the $8B+ ITSM market as a co-founder? This pre-seed San Francisco startup is moving beyond simple ticket filing to automated resolution directly in Slack. We are looking for a visionary Head of Product or CPO with experience at enterprise giants like ServiceNow or Salesforce who is hungry to build from zero again. With 5-15% equity and a $200k-$250k salary, you'll own the product strategy and GTM motion while shaping a company that turns manual IT headaches into deterministic, automated workflows. If you have shipped enterprise automation and want real ownership, this is your next breakthrough.
