Requirements
What you’ll need- Clarity of thought: You think critically and bring structure and clear rationale to ambiguous, cross-domain problems.
- 5+ years in Product Management, ideally including ownership of a multi-stakeholder, operations-heavy, or platform-level product.
- Proven ability to gather, document, and unify requirements from multiple demanding stakeholders into a coherent product definition.
- Comfortable discussing workflows, data, and system design with engineers, and reading the evidence behind a problem, without needing to be a domain specialist on day one.
- A track record of turning a complex process into an experience that different types of users can complete with confidence.
- Experience delivering through other teams and aligning multiple roadmaps toward a shared outcome, including without direct authority over every team involved.
- Ability to point to what you measured, what you changed, and what moved as a result of your product work.
- Take responsibility without being asked; propose a path when obstacles arise; treat mistakes as information and move on quickly.
- Background in academic publishing, SaaS platforms, multi-tenant B2B products, or AI/ML products is a plus, but strong learning agility can substitute for direct domain experience.
