Head of Product

At Archive, we believe great products should live many lives. We build the technology that powers branded resale for some of the world’s most beloved companies, including Lululemon, The North Face, New Balance, Dr. Martens, Peloton, and 50+ others. Our platform makes it easy for brands to keep products in circulation and for customers to shop secondhand with confidence.

The secondhand market is growing three times faster than traditional retail and is projected to reach $350B globally by 2028. We’re building the infrastructure behind that shift, helping brands turn resale into a meaningful part of their business and helping consumers rethink how they shop. If you’re excited to change consumer behavior for the better, we’d love to meet you.

About The Role…

Archive is hiring a Head of Product to bring clarity, focus, and strong decision-making to what we build and how we build it. You'll own product strategy across our full retail stack and be the single owner of the hard prioritization calls, translating company strategy into a roadmap the whole company believes in.

This is a high-judgment, builder's role for someone who's set product direction, owned business outcomes, and made the call on what matters without waiting for a playbook. If you get energized by reshaping a category-defining product with AI, have a real feel for what drives the business, and want to operate as a true partner to engineering to turn priorities into predictable delivery, this is for you.

Responsibilities

Product strategy and roadmap

• Own product strategy and translate Archive's company strategy and growth plan into a clear, multi-quarter roadmap and prioritization across the platform
• Drive scalable product development across the full Archive stack: consumer shopping, peer-to-peer marketplace, trade-in and managed-resale supply, retail point-of-sale, brand and admin tooling, warehouse + 3PL visibility, customer support, and data and analytics
• Define standard vs. custom boundaries so enterprise demands don't quietly capture the roadmap
  
  

Owning the trade-offs

• Be the single owner of product prioritization, so strategy stays crisp and the founders are no longer making day-to-day product calls
• Prioritize toward business outcomes, based on what will have the most impact on GMV, supply, demand and brand margin, not just customer satisfaction
• Make hard calls with clarity and build durable decision-making mechanisms as we scale

• Experience building product operating systems: roadmap frameworks, prioritization models, or planning processes that improve speed and clarity
• AI-native product thinking: conviction around AI, hands-on in understanding how to build it into a product ecosystem, and willing to rethink product from scratch rather than port over an old-world playbook
• Strong product judgment and prioritization instincts; you can say "no / not yet" and keep trust high
