CPO for 400+ person, post Series-D private company.
Salary and bonus, about $350k. Maybe $400k or slightly higher if I'm counting options.
Report to the CEO.
I live in Brooklyn, office is in Manhattan.
Got here by my current company acquiring mine; I've been here a little under three years and have resisted starting another company because I like my current one so much and frankly, I've got a lot of impact. I have a CS background from a top-end school which made my first few career moves relatively easy. One difference is that I was always more interested in the product side of things so I started after school as a product/front-end engineering/design generalist (ie: get shit done guy) for Google and then a series of startups, which allowed me to collect a lot of things to point to so far as my contributions. Google was too slow and bureaucratic, the other startups were interesting but not mine.
At our 5k person company, the CPO has the heads of engineering and product management report to him, and is responsible for them working together well and delivering product.
In my case, I have the product management and UX groups reporting to me. CTO is responsible for engineering, and as you could guess, the CTO and I are joined at the hip relative to keeping a good pace of delivery.
Salary and bonus, about $350k. Maybe $400k or slightly higher if I'm counting options.
