This global, market-facing role focuses on understanding customer needs, analyzing competitive dynamics, identifying growth opportunities, and translating insights into compelling product strategy.
About the role
You will act as the bridge between the external market and our internal Product Management teams, bringing market intelligence, customer insight, and strategic thinking together to support long-term product positioning, differentiation, and solution roadmaps. With an expected focus of approximately 80% external engagement and 20% internal collaboration, this role is ideal for someone who enjoys working closely with customers, partners, Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, and senior stakeholders across international markets.
You will own market intelligence, competitive positioning, solution-level strategy, and the 3–5-year roadmap that drives growth, differentiation, and commercial success. This role is likely remote based in the USA, with flexibility essential due to frequent travel and working across international time zones.
