Director of Product Systems & Architecture

Tax Maverick | $180K–$220K Base + 15–20% Performance Incentive

Executive-Caliber Thinker. Director-Level Operator. Hands-On Builder.

Tax Maverick is looking for a hands-on product leader to help architect both the product and the systems that enable our team to build it faster.

This is not a traditional executive role focused on managing layers of leaders. We’re looking for someone who can personally work through product architecture, requirements, workflows, UX, data, delivery bottlenecks, and product decisions. We care more about what you’ve built than the title you’ve held.

What You’ll Own

• Translate founder and market vision into product architecture and roadmap.
• Architect Tax Maverick across firm, organization, client, tax, and business intelligence, AI, and advisory-first practice management.
• Build a product operating system that moves ideas from vision → build-ready work → production.
• Improve PRDs, workflows, user stories, UX logic, data requirements, and acceptance criteria.
• Identify and remove bottlenecks across product, UX, engineering, QA, and decision-making.
• Enable multiple product workstreams to move in parallel.
• Embed AI into product development and improve team output and quality.
• Develop product leaders and build systems that reduce dependency on individual knowledge.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience building product systems, architecture, teams, or operating models in a scaling SaaS company.
• Strong background in workflow-heavy SaaS, CRM, practice management, fintech, accounting software, or similarly complex products.
• Demonstrated AI product experience.
• Strong systems, platform, workflow, and data-model thinking.
• Technical fluency and the ability to work effectively with UX and engineering.
• Proven ability to operate in ambiguity, challenge constructively, and work directly with founders.
• A genuine builder mentality. You still enjoy getting into the details and doing the work.

What Success Looks Like

Your mandate is to help Tax Maverick significantly increase meaningful product velocity without sacrificing quality, coherence, or customer outcomes, including enabling multiple product workstreams to execute in parallel.

Why Tax Maverick?

We’re building more than tax software. Our ambition is to create the operating system that powers the Primary Advisor, connecting client intelligence, tax intelligence, AI, advisory, practice management, and the full client journey.

If you’ve built the machine before and still want to build it yourself, we want to hear from you.
