Pivot Bio's Director, Digital Product is accountable for translating Pivot's digital strategy into a cohesive, portfolio-level product system that accelerates commercial adoption, strengthens product evidence, and enables next-generation agronomic innovation. This role owns portfolio-level product direction, sequencing, and delivery alignment across Pivot's core digital products, ensuring coordinated evolution, disciplined tradeoffs, and delivery in step with the agronomic cycle. 

Operating at the intersection of agronomy, data, engineering, AI, and commercial execution, the Director translates complex scientific and business priorities into clear product strategy, integrated roadmaps, and seasonal release plans while balancing near-term commercial outcomes with long-term platform health. This role requires strong executive judgment in environments defined by ambiguity, cross-functional dependencies, and seasonal constraints, and serves as a key product leadership interface to Digital leadership and enterprise stakeholders. 

 This role can be located either in Minneapolis, MN or St. Louis, MO.

Essential Functions: 

• Own portfolio-level product strategy, prioritization, and sequencing across Pivot's digital products 
• Establish and enforce product intake, prioritization, and tradeoff discipline to protect roadmap integrity, especially during in-season execution 
• Lead quarterly portfolio and seasonal release planning, aligning Commercial, Product Innovation, Manufacturing, and Partnerships 
• Partner closely with Architecture to ensure product decisions reinforce data standards, APIs, platform scalability, and long-term system health 
• Provide product leadership to Engineering and Data Science by defining clear outcomes, success metrics, and release criteria across the portfolio 
• Ensure all digital products are adoption-ready, including field workflows, partner enablement, and operational readiness 
• Define and own portfolio-level product metrics spanning adoption, evidence quality, operational reliability, and commercial impact 
• Facilitate executive-level tradeoff decisions balancing speed, technical debt, scalability, and seasonal risk 
• Communicate portfolio status, risks, and learnings to Digital leadership, ELT, and executive stakeholders 

Competencies: 

• Product portfolio leadership: Proven ability to lead and govern a multi-product or platform portfolio, setting direction, sequencing priorities, and enforcing disciplined tradeoffs 
• Systems & platform thinking: Deep understanding of how products, data, workflows, and integrations interact across agronomy, commercial execution, and partner ecosystems 
• Executive judgment under ambiguity: Comfortable making and defending high-impact decisions with incomplete information, seasonal constraints, and competing stakeholder priorities 
• Operating model ownership: Ability to establish and evolve product governance, intake discipline, and release rituals that scale execution without slowing teams down 
• Agronomic & data fluency: Comfortable operating in domains involving field trials, agronomic data, analytics, and AI-enabled decision systems 
• Stakeholder and influence leadership: Effectively aligns senior leaders, functional heads, and external partners without relying on formal authority 
• Outcome accountability: Bias toward measurable portfolio-level outcomes including adoption, evidence quality, operational reliability, and commercial impact 

Required Education & Experience 

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Engineering, Computer Science, Agronomy, or a related field 
• 8+ years of experience in Product Management or product leadership roles, with demonstrated ownership of complex digital products through multiple delivery cycles 
• 12+ years total experience in digital product development, including experience in engineering, data, UX, platform, or domain-facing roles (e.g., agronomy, analytics) 
• Demonstrated experience leading multi-product portfolios or platform-based ecosystems, including sequencing, prioritization, and governance 
• Proven ability to operate at executive and cross-functional leadership levels, translating strategy into execution and managing tradeoffs across Commercial, Product Innovation, Manufacturing, and Partnerships 
• Strong track record of delivering durable, adoption-ready digital products in environments with high ambiguity and seasonal constraints 
• Experience working closely with Engineering, Data, and Architecture leaders on platform health, scalability, and long-term foundations 
• Understanding of agronomic data, crop nutrition, soil science, or precision agriculture is a strong plus
