Senior Vice President of Product

Udacity is now an Accenture company, and the future is bright! 🚀 We are actively seeking a Senior Vice President of Product to lead our product and design teams through an exciting next chapter: scaling post-acquisition while staying true to our mission and customers. Reporting directly to the COO and collaborating closely with the C-suite and Accenture partners, you’ll define and execute against the product vision, drive cross-functional alignment, and deliver measurable commercial impact.

You must be a strategic operator and inspiring leader who can translate complex technical ideas into business outcomes, build trust with stakeholders, and lead a high-performing team through change and growth.

Location: This is a remote based position in the United States.

What you’ll do:

• Own the Product Vision: Iterate on our product vision to align with business goals and Accenture’s broader strategy. Inspire teams and stakeholders to rally around it
• Operationalize Strategy: Translate strategic goals into actionable roadmaps with measurable outcomes. Drive structured execution in a fast-paced, matrixed environment
• Lead and Develop Talent: Recruit, grow, and retain a diverse team of high-performing Product Management and Design leaders. Instill clarity, accountability, and motivation
• Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Partner seamlessly with Engineering, GTM, Customer Success, and Accenture stakeholders. Align roadmaps to broader business priorities and external partner objectives
• Deliver Impact: Maintain a strong bias for action. Prioritize initiatives based on business impact, customer value, and strategic fit. Hold teams accountable for outcomes, not just outputs
• Be the Voice of the Customer and Market: Advocate relentlessly for user needs while balancing technical feasibility and commercial goals. Stay connected to customer pain points and market shifts
• Drive Communication and Alignment: Facilitate clarity across teams and executives. Simplify complex concepts and foster alignment through effective storytelling and structured discussions

What we value:

• Ed Tech experience
• 12+ years of product leadership experience, including scale-up and/or post-acquisition environments
• Proven success collaborating with GTM, Engineering, and external strategic partners
• Owned both Product and Design teams at a high-growth B2B SaaS or platform company
• Demonstrated ability to operationalize strategy: from defining vision to executing roadmaps with measurable business impact
• Experience building and leading diverse, high-performing product teams globally
• Ability to translate technical concepts into outcomes and frameworks that resonate with non-technical stakeholders
  Executive presence: Able to influence at the C-level and drive consensus in complex, high-stakes environments
• Familiarity with enterprise ecosystems (integrations, HRIS, LMS, etc) and digital transformation is a strong plus
  Previous experience navigating enterprise acquisition environments (either as part of the acquired team or acquirer) preferred

Who You Are

• A builder and operator who thrives in ambiguity and turns strategy into action
• A strong collaborator and facilitator who seeks to align rather than dictate
• A customer-centric leader with a commercial mindset
• A trusted peer to the C-suite
