  • Create clarity without slowing things down
  • Build lightweight systems that help us move faster

Customer & Market Understanding

  • Stay close to users, partners, and customers
  • Develop strong intuition for what actually matters
  • Continuously refine the product based on real feedback

Company Impact

  • Goal: Make CEO obsolete from product execution within 6 months
  • Help shape how product gets done at the company
  • Drive alignment across founders, engineering, and future hires
  • Be a forcing function for focus, speed, and quality


What They’re Looking For

  • Strong product leadership experience in fast, high-stakes environments, preferably an AI Start-Up
  • Startup experience with gritty, hands-on mentality
  • Conversational knowledge of hedge funds, indexes, exchanges helpful
  • Experience owning product strategy and execution, both required
  • Ability to operate in ambiguity without needing structure
  • Clear thinking, strong judgment, and quick decision making
  • Ability to move from strategy to execution without friction
  • Direct, honest communication
