About this role
We are looking for a Product Strategy & Operations Sr. Associate with 1–4 years of experience to own and scale new product verticals at one of AI's fastest-growing companies. You'll operate like a mini-GM — equal parts strategist, operator, and customer champion — in a high-ownership, zero-to-one environment where results are expected fast.
What will you be doing?
Own a product vertical end-to-end — from customer acquisition and sales demos to implementation and process-building
Get in front of customers directly: selling, supporting, and implementing to drive early traction
Build and scale internal processes so cross-functional teams (Product, Eng, GTM, CS) can take over as the product matures
Lead go-to-market strategy including market research, positioning, pricing, and launch execution
Collaborate cross-functionally with high EQ — aligning stakeholders without stepping on toes, and pulling everyone in the same direction
Key Requirements
Startup or founder experience — you've worn many hats and thrive in chaotic, fast-moving environments
Strong cross-functional working skills with the EQ to influence without authority
Proven ownership mentality — you claim problems as your own and drive solutions regardless of fault
B2B SaaS or enterprise-level experience (consumer background is a weaker fit)
Willingness to work on-site in NYC 4–5 days/week and travel as needed
What happens next
Skip the application pile. I get you in front of the people who decide.
Confirm the fit
A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.
I pitch you to the company
I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.
A meeting lands on your calendar
When the company wants to meet, I get the call on your calendar. You just show up.
Culture & values
Engineering-first culture
Team works closely with Engineering
Acts as bridge between customers and the engineering organization
Rapidly growing function with lean team structure
Organized by product vertical with SE Leads acting as hiring managers
Split into distinct tracks: Implementation and Product Expert with different ownership models
Product Expert SEs serve as go-to technical resource across entire product vertical
Team reflects engineering-first culture through driving product feedback and supporting complex integrations
