Define the Future
• Set the vision: Shape and evangelize a compelling product strategy for prosumer and enterprise-grade audio tools, ensuring alignment with company goals and market opportunities.
• Spot the gaps: Lead market and UX research to uncover unmet needs, competitive whitespaces, and emerging trends in AI-driven audio and voice content.

Build & Ship
• Own the lifecycle: Drive end-to-end product development, from ideation to launch and iteration—balancing speed, quality, and user delight.
• Champion the user: Partner with design and research to craft intuitive, high-impact experiences, using data and feedback to refine continuously.

Scale & Execute

Required Qualifications

• Product Management: 7+ years of relevant experience with a focus on building enterprise-grade AI products and features (B2B / B2B2C)

• Problem-solving: Experience in dynamic, competitive, and ambiguous environments
• User obsession: Relentless focus on solving real user problems, backed by data and qualitative insights.
• Cross-functional influence: Proven ability to align and inspire engineering, design, and go-to-market teams without direct authority.
• Pragmatism: Balance big-picture thinking with hands-on problem-solving — you’re equally comfortable crafting a roadmap and diving into metrics.

• Adaptability: Thrive in high-velocity, dynamic settings where priorities shift quickly.
• Collaboration: Low ego + high EQ — you build trust and drive decisions through clarity, not hierarchy.
• Autonomy: Self-directed with a bias for action, you own outcomes end-to-end.

Now, it would be ideal if you have:

• Industry experience with audio or voice products
