Job Title: Director, Product Strategy and Innovation

Company: U.S. Chamber of Commerce

Location: Washington, District of Columbia, United States

Job Type: Full-time

Category: Product Strategy & Innovation

Date Posted: August 04, 2026

Experience Level: 5-10 years

πŸš€ Role Summary

  • Spearhead the assessment, design, enhancement, and productization of offerings to bolster member value and drive organizational growth.

  • Develop comprehensive product roadmaps and strategic recommendations to align with future-state requirements and market demand.

  • Foster collaborative partnerships with Member Growth & Strategy teams to ensure offerings meet member needs and expand market reach.

  • Drive innovation by identifying opportunities to rationalize, scale, and create new products and services that strengthen the Chamber's value proposition.

  • Translate strategic insights into actionable product strategies and compelling business cases to support investment and development.

πŸ“ Enhancement Note: This role is positioned at a Director level, indicating significant strategic responsibility and the need for proven leadership in product development and innovation. The focus on "productizing" offerings suggests a shift towards treating membership benefits and services as scalable, defined products with clear value propositions and operational frameworks.

πŸ“ˆ Primary Responsibilities

  • Conduct a thorough inventory and assessment of current offerings, programs, capabilities, and strategic partnerships to establish a baseline for innovation.

  • Identify and prioritize opportunities for enhancement, rationalization, scaling, and the development of new, innovative offerings that align with member needs and market trends.

  • Collaborate closely with internal stakeholders, particularly Member Growth & Strategy, to ensure product development is market-driven and aligned with overarching business objectives.

  • Develop robust productization strategies, portfolio recommendations, and persuasive business cases that clearly articulate the value, feasibility, and ROI of proposed initiatives.

  • Evaluate and define future-state operating requirements and capabilities necessary to support the Chamber's evolving product portfolio and member service delivery.

  • Create and present clear, actionable roadmaps that outline the strategic direction for product development, growth initiatives, and the continuous enhancement of member value.

πŸ“ Enhancement Note: The responsibilities emphasize a blend of strategic analysis, product development lifecycle management, and cross-functional collaboration. The expectation to "productize" offerings implies a need for structured approaches to defining features, benefits, pricing, and delivery mechanisms, akin to traditional product management but applied to services and membership benefits.
