• Translate the company's overarching mission into a roadmap that engineering, sales, and leadership can rally around. • Maintain a living, prioritized backlog that reflects real customer needs, business priorities, and technical constraints. • Provide product input on automation initiatives and roadmap decisions in partnership with Engineering and Operations. • Treat the product roadmap as a living document that evolves with the technology landscape. Continuously identify new tools, AI capabilities, and emerging solutions that can replace manual effort, improve performance, or unlock new value for customers. • Build deep, structured alignment with the founder - not just high-level sign-offs, but shared mental models of why, what, and complexity. Create communication rhythms that keep the founder informed without bottlenecking execution. • Work daily alongside a senior, experienced engineering team that has built and shipped products together across multiple projects and geographies. • Translate ambiguous ideas into well-scoped, unblocking specs without over-specifying. • Lead automation-first product thinking, design features and workflows that reduce manual work and enable real-time monitoring. • Hire, onboard, and develop a Senior PM from day one, with a clear mandate for which product scope they own. • Partner with Sales on product positioning, service tiers, and scaling plans.
