Nice To Haves

Core Product Experience: Product Management experience building complex B2B SaaS, data-heavy platforms, or highly technical software products.
The Full-Stack Mindset: You are comfortable navigating both the user experience of a complex workflow and the technical realities of the backend architecture required to support it.
Bias for Action in Complexity: You thrive in ambiguous environments. You can take a vague, highly technical customer request and turn it into a clear, prioritized roadmap for your engineering team in days, not weeks.
Operational Rigor: You care deeply about the "how" — how the product is built, how it performs, and how it directly impacts the end user's daily work.
