GIST Impact is looking for an impact player to join our executive team as SVP Product.

We are looking for a driven, systematic, empathetic, and energetic product leader who will drive user acquisition, customer success, product vision, and strategy for GIST Impact. In this role, you will increase our market presence by providing user-tested and relevant product offerings, moving the company away from a “service” mindset to a “solutions”, scalable mindset. As we build out both our front-end SaaS-based solution offerings alongside our broader product suite - a dynamic model centred around productising data through feeds and exposing the output of our methodology via API engines - our ideal candidate should have a demonstrated history of steering and orchestrating a data-centric, API-driven business for product development.

To achieve success, you will guide our teams to prioritise building products that address and solve real-world problems in order to achieve scale. You will bring forth hands-on experience in collaborating with diverse clientele, particularly prominent software companies and SaaS platforms that will serve as our primary customer base for our data and API integration efforts.

An essential qualification of this role is therefore prior engagements with or leadership experience delivering products tailored to financial institutions and large corporations. 

Finally, you should be able to use deep expertise in data and analytics to understand the modular components of GIST Impact’s business and know how to stitch them together to make a compelling product strategy and vision.

A passion for delivering sustainability solutions and redefining corporate performance, our core mission, must be your primary motivation to join GIST Impact.

Your answers to our culture fit questionnaire and understanding of GIST Impact’s mission and its importance will receive as much weightage in our application process as your CV/credentials.

If this sounds like you, we would like to hear from you!
