• Drive roadmap planning & communication, balancing customer requests with new product innovation and active market validation

Requirements:

• Proven success bringing B2B SaaS products to market: you've helped shape a new product's direction, working closely with early adopters, and you're energized rather than unsettled by an evolving roadmap

• High technical learning velocity: you're energized by going deep on new technologies and concepts, and can upskill on new areas fast enough to earn engineering's trust and hold your own in partner conversations
