Here’s a summary of the role: Ready to be both the conductor and the lead musician of your own business lines and for a #1 market leader? If so, Yu-Kuan Lin is hiring a VP of Product Management who can set a bold product vision and roll up their sleeves to build alongside a high‑performing team. This role is at Diligent, the #1 market leader in Governance, Risk & Compliance tech, used by 75% of Fortune 500 Boards. You’ll shape the future of our core product—the largest and strategic growth engine of a $7B revenue company—owning multi‑year strategy, AI innovation, and revenue‑tied outcomes. You will also lead product for two business lines: our non‑profit and government sector governance solutions. If you have experience as head of product at a fast‑growing company or tier‑1 tech company, and lead by doing, this is your stage to drive impact at executive altitude while still getting hands‑on where it matters.

* Proven winning track record over multiple products or multiple companies.
