Reforge is launching our own EIR program, an Executive In Residence, designed for active leaders in their field.
The EIR program is a 6 or 12-month role for experienced product leaders who are at a transition point in their career.
During your time as an EIR, you will lead 2-3 Reforge programs and will have the opportunity to help us define and spread the future of Product as a discipline.
You will be a full-time employee of Reforge receiving a solid salary, health insurance, and other benefits.
The program is inspired by my time as an EIR (Entrepreneur In Residence) at Trinity Ventures which gave me a lot of the same benefits and saved me from making some really bad startup choices.
The challenge is that most VC EIR programs are designed for those that want to be founders rather than operators.
The Reforge EIR program is a place where you can actively practice your craft; grow in your knowledge, skills, and experience and earn our sponsorship in moving your career forward.
