Use data, user research, and intuition to drive prioritization decisions.
Rally cross-functional stakeholders around a clear vision while keeping execution crisp.
Drive a culture of fast learning, experimentation, and continuous improvement.

Strong technical fluency: comfortable discussing architecture, data pipelines, model behavior, and UX tradeoffs.
Proven track record of owning a domain and launching complex products at high velocity.
Ability to work across frontend, backend, and AI teams with credibility and empathy.
Exceptional execution skills: you keep teams aligned, focused, and shipping.
Low-ego collaborator who values clarity, resilience, and teamwork more than titles.
Experience with AI/ML products (LLMs, copilots, workflow automation, or similar) is a major plus.
Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, resource-constrained Series A environment.
