This role sits at the intersection of product, partnerships, and platform, requiring someone equally comfortable diving into technical integration details and navigating complex partner relationships.

• Track record of building and shipping 0-to-1 products with measurable user and business impact in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
• Experience navigating complex cross-functional environments where you influence without direct authority
