📋 Description

• Lead and contribute to product assessments for investment firms and portfolio companies across the full investment lifecycle. From pre-close diligence through post-close value creation and exit preparation. • Evaluate the strength, credibility, and competitive defensibility of a target company's product strategy, roadmap, and go-to-market approach. • Assess how AI and machine learning are embedded in a company's product distinguishing genuine capability from surface-level positioning, and articulate the implications for competitive advantage, risk, and value creation. • Analyze product-market fit, customer segmentation, expansion opportunity, and the assumptions underlying growth projections. • Review product team structure, delivery capability, execution track record, and organizational readiness for growth • Conduct primary research including executive interviews, customer discovery conversations, and expert network engagements. • Synthesize findings from documentation, market research, and interviews into structured, investment-grade deliverables. • Communicate complex product and market dynamics clearly and concisely to deal teams, investment committees, and company leadership. • Advise portfolio company product leaders on strategy, prioritization, and capability development post-close

🎯 Requirements

• 15+ years of product management experience, with significant time in senior or executive leadership roles (Director, VP, CPO, or equivalent) at B2B software or SaaS companies • Demonstrated track record shipping products at scale, including ownership of product strategy, roadmap prioritization, and cross-functional delivery in agile environments • Hands-on experience building or leading AI/ML-powered products — not just roadmap familiarity, but direct involvement in defining AI product strategy, making build/partner/buy decisions, managing model risk, and navigating the user trust and experience challenges unique to AI • Ability to critically evaluate a company's AI strategy from the outside. Assessing data assets, model dependencies, technical differentiation, competitive vulnerability, and the realism of AI-driven roadmap assumptions • Strong analytical capability: fluency using market research, customer data, and competitive intelligence to form defensible, evidence-based conclusions • Exceptional written and verbal communication; able to translate product and technology complexity into concise narratives for non-technical executive audiences • Broad experience across enterprise software, B2B SaaS, and the full SDLC from discovery through delivery and growth • Comfort working in fast-moving, ambiguous environments and high accountability for output quality.
