Smart Church Solutions is hiring a
Remote Director of Product Management

📍 Remote

 

Position Overview

The Director of Product Management is the strategic and operational owner of the eSPACE platform. As a solo product leader to start, this role will be deeply hands-on—shaping product strategy, building the roadmap, managing execution, and serving as the connective tissue across engineering, customer success, sales, and marketing.

The ideal candidate is revenue-driven, innovative, and forward thinking—someone who proactively keeps up with industry trends in SaaS, CMMS, ChMS, IoT, and facility stewardship. This person is naturally curious, collaborative, and disciplined, able to view product decisions through both customer empathy and data-driven analysis.

This role requires strong discernment: the ability to understand customer pain points, identify patterns across the broader market, and distinguish between individual preferences and true product opportunities. The Director must be able to dig deeper, ask insightful questions, challenge assumptions, prioritize confidently, and lead realistically without being swayed by emotion. 

This leader will ensure eSPACE continues to be the premier facility stewardship platform in the market and that every product decision delivers measurable value to both the customer and the business.

5. Metrics, Analysis & Product-Led Growth Influence

  • Monitor key product metrics including adoption, engagement, NRR, GRR, churn risk, and ARR contribution.

  • Prioritize automation improvements in partnership with Engineering and QA.
  • Rebuild and reinforce the discipline, structure, and predictability of the product development life cycle, including accurate estimation practices with the development team

  • Sequence major technical debt initiatives intentionally.
  • Communicate architectural impacts and tradeoffs to leadership and non‑technical teams.
  • Ensure tech‑debt initiatives are sequenced transparently and realistically.
