  • You enjoy working closely with founders, operators, and emerging teams as they navigate product-market fit, growth, and scale.
  • You are comfortable working with technical founders and developer-facing products.

  • You have built workflows, dashboards, automations, lifecycle programs, internal tools, customer journeys, or playbooks that improved customer outcomes at scale.
  • You operate with a builder mindset and take ownership beyond your job description.
  • You’re energized by creating structure from ambiguity and helping new programs scale from 0 to 1.
  • You’re comfortable working in evolving environments where processes are still being defined.
