Director of Product (Remote)

Candid is seeking a visionary and hands-on Director of Product to lead the strategy, development, and execution of our product across all lines of business. You will work cross-functionally with leaders across sales, marketing, engineering, operations, manufacturing, clinical, and customer support to ensure that our product strategy is cohesive, scalable, and grounded in real-world insights.

As our Director of Product, you will define and drive the overarching product vision and roadmap, aligning it with our long-term business objectives and customer needs. You will act as a player-coach, both leading and contributing directly — setting the strategic direction while also managing and delivering key product initiatives yourself.

This is a remote role. We will consider candidates based in the United States.

  • Oversee product lifecycle management—from ideation through launch, feedback, and iteration

  • Own product + project management of a subset of actual products/features on the roadmap

  • Help further implement our mission “customer obsession drives profitable growth” by leveraging the voice of customer work including engagement with customers, key opinion leaders, and faculty members to drive decision making

• Expertise in digital product development
• Strategic mindset with the ability to execute tactically
• Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail
• Clear, confident communicator across teams and stakeholders

Pay & Perks

• Competitive compensation
• Stock option plan to give our employees a direct stake in Candid’s success
• Unlimited PTO to give our employees a little extra R&R when they need it 
• Work from home stipend 
• Comprehensive health coverage (medical, dental, vision) and generous parental leave
• Significant discount on our customized treatment plans and aligners
• You will grow a lot here. You’ll be surrounded by employees with deep experience in their field, who have a strong passion for doing great work and constantly learning

 

Our range for this role is $185,000-190,000. Our salary ranges are based on paying competitively for our size and industry, and are one part of the total compensation package that also includes equity, benefits, and other perks. To determine our range, we consider as many of the following data points as are available to us: external market salary survey data, experience level, skillset and balancing internal equity relative to our other employees. We include equity in our compensation packages because we believe our employees should have an option to purchase ownership in the company and benefit from what we hope will be a lot of upside growth. We expect the majority of the candidates who are offered roles at Candid to fall healthily throughout the range based on these factors.
