A day in the life

You split your time between building the business (developing partnership strategy, earning trust with stakeholders, defining GTM) and building the product (writing requirements, working closely with engineering, driving launches). On any given day you might be meeting with a customer's engineering leadership to understand how they assess agent quality at scale, presenting product strategy and business results to senior leadership, reviewing a pricing model with finance, working with field teams on a customer POC, or collaborating with applied scientists on how to productize new evaluation research. You operate with high independence across ambiguous problem spaces, make tradeoffs across competing priorities, and own outcomes from requirements through launch and sustained business growth.
