-
Set standards for product discovery, specification, and validation

Collaborate with Head of Engineering on technical feasibility and architectural direction
Must-haves
- 12+ years in product management, with at least 3 years leading a product org. That means managing PMs, architects, or designers, not just owning one product as a senior PM.
- SaaS background. This means B2B SaaS product leadership, ideally on a multi-product or platform business rather than a single app.
- Consistent career track. Look for meaningful tenures, ideally 2+ years per role, with visible growth in scope rather than frequent short stints.
- Ownership of a multi-product portfolio strategy. The candidate should have set the vision and roadmap across several products and resolved priority conflicts between them. Owning one product's backlog isn't enough.
- Hands-on discovery expertise. They should have run JTBD and design thinking discovery themselves, written BRDs, PRDs, user stories, and journeys, and ideally set the templates and standards others follow.
- Practical experience operating AI in the product workflow. This is the key differentiator. They should have configured or built LLM agents or AI workflows for product work like research, analysis, or spec writing, and judged output quality systematically. Casual ChatGPT use doesn't count.
- Market and competitive analysis. They should have a track record of market sizing, competitive intelligence, and turning findings into strategic bets.
- Measurable product outcomes. They should be able to point to achieving product-market fit or growth metrics, and to tracking whether their strategy actually worked.
