- Fluency using AI tools in your own workflow — such as research synthesis, spec writing, prototyping, and data analysis — and enthusiasm for sharing effective practices and helping teammates experiment with and adopt these tools.
- Experience with marketplace platforms and/or B2B enterprise software
- Comfortable breaking down ambiguous problems, building systems, and shipping without heavy process scaffolding.
- 5+ years in product management, with strong data-driven prioritization, systems problem-solving, and roadmap development, including at least one successful product launch at a growth-stage startup.
- Technical fluency and a demonstrated ability to work effectively with strong engineering teams.
- Experience working with large, strategic, or enterprise-level partners (e.g., corporate funders, foundations), and comfort presenting product strategy and tradeoffs directly to executive stakeholders.
- Experience running agile sprints and experimenting with lightweight, fit-for-purpose processes to improve team velocity and collaboration.
- Strong research aptitude, qualitative and quantitative, with hands-on experience in tools like SQL, Posthog, Fullstory, or Google Analytics.
