AppDirect sits at the center of that shift, the infrastructure connecting technology sellers to the partners and marketplaces where buyers actually transact. This role drives the product strategy that, in collaboration with engineering, go-to-market, and other cross-functional partners, turns that position into growth: more products distributed, more sellers succeeding on the platform, more GMV/NMV flowing through it. The mandate is to find the highest-leverage bets in distribution (catalog reach, discoverability, partner and co-sell motions, packaging and incentives) and ship them, with a team you lead and outcomes you own.
You’re a product leader who’s energized by the mechanics of technology distribution: how products get found, chosen, and bought at scale. You’ve built and scaled products in marketplace, cloud, commerce, or platform environments, and you know how to turn partner ecosystems into measurable revenue.
You’re commercially sharp and credible in a room with senior stakeholders at companies like Amazon or Microsoft, but you’re also close enough to the details to make hard product calls yourself. You lead through clarity and outcomes, and you use AI as a working system to move faster, sharpen judgment, and build a real point of view on how AI is reshaping software distribution and buying behavior.
