What You'll Do
Conduct discovery and validation across 2-3 portfolio companies to identify customer needs, market gaps, and product opportunities.

Define and track leading and lagging indicators for shipped features and conduct post-launch analysis to validate business impact.
Prototype and validate product concepts using wireframes, interactive prototypes, and user interviews before engineering investment.
Map end-to-end user journeys for core workflows and identify friction points, automation opportunities, and integration capabilities.
Partner with engineering to evaluate build vs. buy decisions and assess technical feasibility and long-term maintainability.

Experience at a PE-backed firm, portfolio company, or scaling stage SaaS company.
Track record launching multiple products from concept through customer adoption.
Background in pricing strategy, packaging, or monetization decisions.

You own cross-functional initiatives stuck in ambiguity and drive alignment across functions to resolution.
You track competitor releases and market trends, surfacing insights that shift your team's focus.
You credit collaborators for shaping product decisions and visibly change recommendations when data contradicts your assumptions.
You push back on shipping when edge cases or success criteria are unresolved, even under timeline pressure.
