Director, Software ProductJob Description:
HITT is seeking a Director of Software Product to lead the teams that turn its agentic engineering practice into working software. This is a hands-on leadership role for a product-minded builder: someone who is happiest close to the work — shaping backlogs, pressure-testing prototypes, clearing blockers — and who knows how to get small, AI-augmented teams to ship. The products in the portfolio will change over time; the mandate will not: deliver software that elevates the business of building.
Reporting to the Chief Information Officer, the Director of Software Product manages a HITT’s agentic pod or pods — small, lean, agile teams in which AI-fluent engineers build alongside AI agents — and is accountable for what those pods deliver. This leader owns the software product portfolio for their area end to end: partnering with business and field leaders to find the highest-value problems, translating them into clear product bets, sequencing the roadmap, and driving delivery through rapid, iterative cycles.
Because HITT builds software for builders, everything this role ships must earn adoption in high-velocity, decentralized field environments, on jobsites, in trailers, and in offices, by users of many backgrounds. The specific applications and features will evolve as HITT’s business and technology evolve; the Director’s charge is durable: keep the pods pointed at what matters most, keep them shipping, and keep raising the standard for what construction software can do.
Responsibilities
Product Strategy & Portfolio
Own the software product portfolio and roadmap, continuously prioritizing initiatives by business value, adoption potential, and strategic fit as HITT’s needs evolve
Lead product discovery with business, operations, and field partners across the full value chain — from preconstruction through project delivery to corporate functions — to identify the highest-value problems worth solving
Translate business problems into clear product strategies, success metrics, and well-sequenced product bets, and revisit them as conditions change
Consolidate, sunset, or reinvest in products as the portfolio matures, keeping the pods focused on what matters most rather than on maintaining everything ever built
Agentic Pod Leadership & Delivery
Directly manage a collection of HITT’s agentic pods — small, lean, agile teams of AI-fluent engineers building alongside AI agents — including pod composition, cadence, and delivery commitments
Run the delivery system hands-on: shape backlogs, facilitate planning and reviews, clear blockers, and sustain a fast, healthy shipping rhythm built on small batches and rapid iteration
Work in the product daily — writing and refining requirements, pressure-testing prototypes, reviewing releases, and making scope and tradeoff calls in real time
Apply and improve the practice’s agentic development methods in partnership with the Head of Software Engineering and Principal Software Engineer, ensuring pods pair AI-enabled workflows with appro
