About the role

The Digital Footprint is the foundation of everything Laurel builds. As Head of Product for Digital Footprint, you will set the strategy for how Laurel captures, connects, and activates the truth of work — across desktop activity, documents, email, meetings, calls, and the broader enterprise tool ecosystem.

Timekeeping, compliance, Signal, analytics, and future AI agents all depend on the quality and coverage of this foundation. This role exists to define and drive the company-wide strategy that ensures Laurel’s capture and integration layer is trusted, extensible, and differentiated.

This is a senior product leadership role operating at the intersection of product strategy, platform partnerships, and enterprise trust, with leverage across every product Laurel ships.

• Define Laurel’s external integrations strategy across enterprise systems, collaboration suites, productivity tools, and line-of-business platforms

• Identify and prioritize the highest-impact integrations and partnerships to expand Laurel’s footprint and unlock new product capabilities

• Establish standards for signal quality (accuracy, completeness, noise reduction, explainability) and ensure they are met across the footprint

• Define the contract between Digital Footprint and downstream systems, including timekeeping workflows, AI models, compliance engines, and Signal

• Partner with Engineering and Design to ensure capture experiences are trustworthy, explainable, and enterprise-ready

• Collaborate with Customer Success, Sales, and Security to identify capture gaps that block adoption and expansion

• Prioritize ruthlessly, recognizing that decisions in this layer have outsized impact across the company

You will be a great fit if you have

• REQUIRED: Experience leading a platform or ecosystem product with significant external integrations

• REQUIRED: Strong product strategy and judgment in ambiguous, enterprise-scale problem spaces

• REQUIRED: Ability to align cross-functional teams around a platform vision and integration roadmap

• Experience defining partnerships and integration strategies that unlock new product capabilities

• Comfort operating across multiple product teams whose success depends on your work

• A bias toward building durable foundations that enable others to move faster

Nice to haves

• Experience with desktop agents, productivity tools, or enterprise SaaS platforms

• Familiarity with AI/ML-powered products and how data quality impacts model performance

• Experience shipping products into regulated or security-sensitive enterprise environments

• Background in analytics, observability, or large-scale data systems

Flexibility and Logistics

• Location: This role will be hybrid and based at our office in San Francisco at least 3 days per week

• Reporting to: Chief Product Officer (CPO)

• Visa Sponsorship: Unfortunately, we are unable to sponsor visas at this time.

WHY JOIN LAUREL:

• To date, we've secured significant funding from renowned venture capitalists (Google Ventures, IVP, Anthos, Upfront Ventures), as well as notable individuals like Marc Benioff, Gokul Rajaram, Kevin Weil, and Alexis Ohanian

• A smart, fun, collaborative, and inclusive team

• Great employee benefits, including equity and 401K

• Bi-annual, in-person company off-sites, in unique locations, to grow and share time with the team

• An opportunity to perform at your best while growing, making a meaningful impact on the company's trajectory, and embodying our core values: understanding your "why," dancing in the rain, being your whole self, and sanctifying time
