Want a seat at our table?
Ziosk is looking for a highly experienced VP of Product with extensive experience leading multi-product teams. Reporting to the Chief Innovation Officer, you will run our product organization day to day, turning business signal into one clear, current roadmap. You will lead a team of Product Managers across our full menu of solutions and give them the structure, coaching, and decisions they need to deliver.

The Main Course – Responsibilities

- Lead and develop the Product Managers, each the single point of contact for a product area, setting a high bar for product thinking and clear paths for growth.

- Own the path from intake to launch, so every request is captured, routed, and answered with a clear decision.

- Run the monthly roadmap cadence: gather signal from each Product Manager, decide what needs cross-product prioritization, and keep one roadmap current.

- Make day-to-day prioritization calls, keeping the roadmap aligned with company strategy and explaining the tradeoffs behind each decision.

- Build the operating rhythm and tooling, including Jira, Confluence, templates, and triage criteria, that help Product Managers raise the right issues at the right time.

- Partner with leaders across Engineering, Sales, and Support to turn customer and market input into committed work.

- Keep executive leadership informed on what is shipping, what is next, and why, and connect the roadmap to Ziosk’s commercialization efforts.

What You Bring To The Table – Qualifications

- Bachelor’s degree in business, engineering, computer science, or a related field.

- 10 or more years of product management experience, including leading five or more Product Managers, directly or indirectly, through a recurring roadmap and prioritization cadence.

- A track record of coaching Product Managers and raising the quality of their work.

- Skill at balancing a stable roadmap with a structured intake process for new requests, and at telling planned work from ad hoc reprioritization.

- Hands-on command of Jira and Confluence structure (projects, components, labels, spaces), beyond everyday use.

- Strong executive communication, with the judgment to decide what to escalate and the ability to say no with clear reasons.

- Experience in restaurant technology, hospitality technology, or a comparable multi-stakeholder B2B2C environment.
