• Support launching products in the market, including sales readiness, go-to-market activities and ongoing post‑launch efforts

Measurable Objectives

Product Discovery & Opportunity Assessment

• Runs a continuous‑discovery loop (weekly customer touchpoints, rapid experiments, opportunity‑solution tree kept current).
• Frames market problems with clear learning objectives, risks & assumptions before delivery.
• Leads the Triad (PM + UX + Lead Engineer) to test value, usability & feasibility early; encourages intelligent risk‑taking.
• Combines qualitative insight (interviews, jobs‑to‑be‑done) with quantitative signal (usage, funnel, NPS) to size opportunities.
• Challenges assumptions openly—asks crisp, “what would have to be true?” questions.
• Leverages Generative AI capabilities as a product lever and can identify where AI adds genuine user value vs. where it’s cosmetic, and partners with engineering to evaluate feasibility.

Strategic Roadmap & Outcome Planning

• Gains executive & cross‑functional alignment through storytelling and visuals; roadmaps are adaptable (reviewed at least quarterly).
• Converts high‑level outcomes to measurable Key Results and maintains a visible trace from initiative → metric.

Product Ownership & Agile / Kanban Delivery

• Serves as Product Owner for an agile process; backlog always reflects priority + class‑of‑service.
• Sets High‑Integrity Commitments (fixed‑date work) only when risk‑adjusted forecasts support them; meets ≥ 90 % of those dates.
• Collaborates daily with engineering to slice value thinly, ensure definition‑of‑ready/done, and unblock swiftly.
• Leverages Generative AI capabilities as a product lever and can identify where AI adds genuine user value vs. where it’s cosmetic, and partners with engineering to evaluate feasibility.

Collaboration, Evangelism & Leadership

• Cultivates trust‑first relationships; practices pre‑wiring / shuttle diplomacy to avoid surprises.
• Evangelizes the product vision internally & externally; can demo, train, and support customers end‑to‑end.

• Demonstrated experience running continuous product discovery (customer interviews, experiments, opportunity sizing)
• Track record of shipping software products through a full lifecycle — from discovery through launch and iteration
• Experience working within Agile/Lean/Kanban delivery teams as a Product Owner or equivalent
• Strong data literacy — comfortable using analytics, funnel metrics, and usage data to inform decisions
