Product Strategy Lead

Company Description Venmogh is a strategic thinking partner designed for founder-CEOs who often make critical decisions without dedicated strategy support. The company focuses on identifying and reducing “strategic debt,” the hidden cost of delayed or uninformed decisions about pricing, market entry, hiring, and competition. Venmogh’s product, Noah, continuously monitors markets and competitors, providing founders with timely insights tailored to their business context. Rather than simply reporting what has happened, Venmogh offers a way to think through complex decisions with better information and clarity. The service is live and accessible, lowering barriers for founders who need strategic support now.
Role Description The Product Strategy Lead is a full-time, on-site role based in Hyderabad. This role is responsible for driving product vision and strategy, aligning offerings with the needs of founder-CEOs and the evolving competitive landscape. Day-to-day work includes conducting market and competitor research, defining product roadmaps, shaping feature sets, and partnering with engineering and design teams to deliver impactful product improvements. The Product Strategy Lead will analyze product performance, identify growth opportunities, and translate insights into clear recommendations and prioritization frameworks. Collaboration with leadership on go-to-market plans, pricing decisions, and positioning will be essential, along with maintaining a deep understanding of user needs through interviews, feedback loops, and data analysis.
Engagement: Paid retainer / full-time, with a genuine partnership track for the right person
Location: Remote-first (we operate across India IST hours works)
Stage : Early product, live and evolving fast
why this role exist?
I'm building Venmogh, an AI Chief Strategy Officer for founder-led companies in the 1-50M euro revenue range. The product works. The technology is in place. What I need now is someone who can answer a harder question than "does it run": does it actually earn a place in a founder's decision-making?
That's not an engineering question. It's a validation and market question, and it needs someone who has sat on both sides of it: someone who understands what real strategy work looks like, and who knows how to take an early SaaS product through the messy, honest process of finding product-market fit.
What you will actually do?
Own product validation end to end. Talk to founders in our target segment, watch them use Venmogh, and tell me plainly where the product's strategic outputs are credible and where they fall short.
Run the research that shapes the roadmap: market sizing, ICP refinement, competitive landscape, and pricing validation for the founder-led segment we serve.
Turn what you learn into product direction. You won't just report findings; you'll help decide what we build, cut, and reposition.
Pressure-test the product's strategy outputs against what a good human CSO or strategy consultant would produce. If Venmogh's advice wouldn't survive a board meeting, I want to know before a customer does.
Work directly with me. No layers, no committees. You'll have real influence on where this product goes.
Take on client engagements through our consulting services. Alongside the product work, you'll deliver strategy engagements for real clients. This isn't a side duty; it's how you stay sharp on what founders actually struggle with, and every engagement doubles as field research for Venmogh.
Who I think you are?
You've done real strategy work: consulting, corporate strategy, or an operating CSO/strategy role. You know what separates a useful strategic recommendation from a generic one.
You've also lived through early-stage product life: customer discovery, validation loops, roadmap trade-offs, and the discipline of killing features that don't earn their keep.
You're comfortable being the skeptic in the room. This role is worthless if you tell me what I want to hear.
You can work independently across time zones and communicate clearly in writing.
A plus, not a requirement: exposure to AI products, the European Mittelstand or Indian SME market, or B2B SaaS pricing work.
How the engagement works?
We start with a paid engagement: a retainer or salary, scoped so both of us can evaluate the fit with real work rather than interviews. Your time will split between Venmogh product work and client consulting engagements; we'll agree the exact balance together based on the pipeline. If it becomes clear you're the person who should be driving this product with me long term, we'll talk seriously about partnership, including equity. I'm not dangling that as a hook; it's genuinely how I'd like this to evolve if the fit is right.
