What are the responsibilities and job description for the Head of Product - Atlanta position at Pearly?
The Role
This is a rare opportunity to own the product function at a high-growth vertical SaaS and payments company with strong product-market fit, 2,500 dental offices on the platform, and top tier unit economics.
You’ll be the first dedicated product leader reporting directly to the CEO with autonomy to define forward-looking roadmap, drive execution, and commercialize Pearly’s expanding platform across billing, payments, and patient engagement.
Getting there requires two distinct and related efforts. You’ll drive both. The first is expanding new product capabilities that deepen the value we deliver and increase ACV. The second is scaling through self-serve distribution, product-led growth, tight feedback loops, and integrations.
This is not a traditional product management role. You’ll operate as an entrepreneurial leader, driving the product strategy and rapidly building new capabilities that solve real problems for the dental industry. You'll act with ownership of commercial outcomes of what you build, partnering with sales, CS, and marketing on go-to-market, and working shoulder-to-shoulder with the CTO on engineering velocity and AI tool adoption. If you’re energized by building rather than managing at a company with real traction, and think about product decisions in terms of revenue and unit economics—not just features and sprints—this is your role.
