• Balance speed with rigor—ensuring solutions are reliable, explainable, and aligned with customer expectations 

• Communicate product vision, progress, learnings, and business impact to senior stakeholders and leadership 

• Contribute to repeatable incubation and innovation processes that support ongoing growth and portfolio expansion 

• 5–8+ years of product management experience in B2B SaaS environments 

• Experience leading early-stage or 0→1 product initiatives within a scaled organization 

• Hands-on experience delivering AI-powered products or working closely with AI/ML teams 

• Strong analytical and decision-making skills, with a focus on measurable outcomes and tradeoffs 

• Ability to operate effectively in a PE-backed or results-driven environment with clear expectations and accountability 

• Excellent communication skills across technical teams and executive stakeholders
