You’ll lead strategic discovery, customer and value proposition definition, market research, and foresight activities, translating insights into clear strategic points of view, product opportunities, and 1-2 year product roadmaps. This role is ideal for someone who is genuinely passionate about digital products and the role they can play in solving meaningful customer and business problems. You bring energy, clarity, and conviction to discussions, communicate ideas persuasively, and apply exceptional critical thinking and sound judgement to challenge assumptions, weigh evidence, and form well-reasoned points of view.

Requirements

• Proven experience shaping compelling product visions, strategies, and value propositions, and translating them into strategic roadmaps that connect long-term direction to near-term priorities
• 5+ years of relevant experience in product management, product strategy, innovation consulting, digital transformation, business strategy, or another technology-focused role
• Exceptional communication, presentation, facilitation, and storytelling skills, with the ability to communicate complex ideas clearly, persuasively, and with energy

• Strong critical thinking, structured reasoning, and sound judgement, with the ability to challenge assumptions, assess evidence, and form well-reasoned strategic points of view

• Experience conducting market, competitive, industry, and strategic foresight research to inform product and business decisions
• Ability to synthesize complex qualitative and quantitative information into clear, evidence-based recommendations
• Comfort working through ambiguity and bringing clarity, focus, and strategic direction to complex problems

Responsibilities

• Shape compelling product visions that articulate the customer and business problem, target customer, market opportunity, value proposition, and desired future state
• Understand higher-level customer and business challenges, identifying opportunities within the broader market and product landscape
• Develop product strategies that connect customer needs, market dynamics, business objectives, technology possibilities, and competitive differentiation
• Lead strategic discovery, including customer research, ideal customer profile (ICP) definition, and value proposition development and validation
• Conduct market, competitive, industry, and strategic foresight research to identify emerging opportunities, risks, and threats
• Assess emerging technologies, including AI, and identify how they could enable new products, capabilities, or market opportunities
• Synthesize research and insights into cohesive, evidence-based strategic directions and recommendations
