## About the role

We believe most product organizations are built and managed to chase the wrong signals (confidence in delivery timelines 12+ months away, internal consensus, user engagement vanity metrics, etc.). We use Directed Discovery, which is a human-centered, evidence-driven product methodology that prioritizes managing product-market-fit above everything else.

## What they're looking for

- A relator: people feel heard by you before they feel directed by you. You seek context with intention, and you co-create rather than dictate
- Falsifiable: you keep score on yourself. You can tell stories about public positions you held that evidence reversed — and you tell them with something close to relish
- An instrument builder: you design the systems that make decisions obvious rather than argued — win/loss programs, telemetry-based confirmation metrics, discussion guides — where every question has a measurable answer
- Fluent in atoms and bits: you have shipped products where hardware lead times, certification, and field deployment constrain iteration, and you know which loops to front-load and which to instrument post-release
- Hardware-software integrated products or comparably complex multi-disciplinary systems, with firsthand experience of the asymmetric cost of being wrong in atoms versus bits
- 10+ years in product roles, with 4+ years leading product managers and designers — building a product organization, not only inheriting one
