• Technical & Architecture Leadership
  • Scalable Architecture: Create platform products that scale, making high-level technical architecture and UI/UX decisions with a long-term architectural view.
  • Technical Execution: Write technical PRDs, identify and fill product gaps, and work closely with engineering and design teams to execute the product roadmap predictably and on time.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Stakeholder Management: Act as the central bridge between diverse business units—including Business Development, Sales, Legal, Compliance, and Data Science—to align priorities and clear roadblocks.
  • Focus & Prioritization: Possess the confidence and diplomatic skill to prioritize relentlessly, making the hard decisions to say "NO" to distractions to keep the team focused on high-impact goals.

Qualifications

Preferred Qualifications

• Technical Foundation: Master's degree in a technology-related field, or hands-on technical experience.
• AI Utilization Experience: Hands-on experience working with AI-driven features, machine learning models, or AI product integration.
• Execution Mindset: An extreme bias towards action (a relentless "Get Things Done" attitude) with a track record of working in very fast-paced environments.
