Responsibilities
Surface & Translate Requirements: Partner with Deployment Strategists and clients to scope real customer needs and turn them into crisp product definitions
Generalize from the Field: Abstract messy, one-off asks into scalable product patterns, balancing immediacy with long-term product principles
Design Extensions & Integrations: Define and build integrations and workflow extensions with engineering that become reusable platform modules
Represent the Customer in Product: Ensure roadmap decisions reflect deployment reality, validating solutions against live operational needs
Create Leverage for Scale: Build playbooks, documentation, and rollout strategies so DS teams can scale adoption across customers
Close the Loop: When gaps emerge in the field, diagnose the root cause, propose solutions, and work with clients, deployment strategists, and engineers to resolve them
Qualification
Required
A Systems Thinker: You can dive into a client's specific workflows, then zoom out to design abstractions that scale across many
Technically Fluent: You don't need to code, but you can reason about workflows, APIs, ledgers, integrations, and data models with engineers. You love understanding how complex systems fit together
Customer-Driven, Product-Minded: You embed with customers to see the messy truth, but your north star is building reusable product
Collaborative: You thrive in high-trust squads where DS, PMs, engineers, and operators co-own outcomes
Execution-Focused: You can run zero-to-one builds in ambiguous environments and ship
Complexity-Loving: Where others see edge cases and risk, you see puzzles and opportunity. Complexity doesn't scare you—it motivates you
