The Product Team
Led by our Chief Product Officer,Zeeshan Qamruddin, the Product team drives our company’s product strategy and brings together all business functions around it. This includes Technology, Growth/Marketing, Design, User Experience, Operations & Customer Support, and Cloud.
About The Challenge
As we enter an ambitious new stage of growth, we’re sharpening our product positioning, simplifying customer journeys, and expanding into adjacent opportunities globally. To help lead this next chapter, we’re looking for a VP of Web Presence, reporting directly to the CPO.
In a nutshell, you’ll shape and execute the long-term strategy for our hosting and site creation portfolio, leading multiple product leaders to drive its growth and success. You will bring Shared Hosting, VPS, and Website Builder together into a cohesive, AI-forward and increasingly agentic portfolio, where each product has a distinct role, a clear audience, and a natural path to the next, so customers can start, grow, and scale their web presence with us at every stage.
Why Join Us?
Lead the shift to agentic web creation. Help define how AI agents take customers from first idea to a live, growing website, and turn that vision into products at scale.
Own the full portfolio. From shared hosting and VPS to our Alf Website Builder, you set the strategy rather than inherit it, reporting directly to our CPO.
Impact from day one. Your decisions reach millions of customers and a platform managing over 32 million domains.
Build at a turning point. Join at an ambitious new stage of growth, with the mandate and support to reshape a core part of our business.
