We’re looking for a customer-obsessed Product Manager II to join our benchmarking solutions team. You'll own a core part of the product defining the roadmap, turning customer needs and business priorities into a clear plan of action. You'll work closely with engineering, data science, and design to validate concepts, prioritize work, and deliver features that customers love. You'll have hands-on experience with AI-assisted development and the product judgment to know when and how to use it as a strategic lever.

The ideal candidate brings strong product judgment, a track record of shipping features that move the needle, and the technical fluency to direct AI-assisted development and partner as an equal with engineering. You're analytical and customer-obsessed, comfortable with rapid prototyping and iteration, and able to operate with less upfront documentation.

Strategy and Ownership: Own the strategy and backlog for your feature set, understanding customer problems and business priorities to build a clear, prioritized plan that drives outcomes.

AI-Assisted Development and Prototyping: Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with engineering, data science, and design to scope work, understand problems, and manage a prioritized backlog. Step in as Product Owner for scrum teams when needed.

Validation and Prioritization: Understand customer needs through research and feedback, validate assumptions, and prioritize stories and features based on customer and business impact.

Customer Engagement: Work directly with customers to share roadmaps, gather feedback, and understand how your features solve their problems.
