Engage directly with finance leaders, controllers, and operators in process manufacturing to deeply understand pain points and workflows.

Significant experience product managing ERP, accounting, or financial software used by finance teams in complex B2B environments.
Experience building net-new B2B SaaS products (0→1) or major greenfield initiatives within established platforms.
Direct experience product managing AI-based or data-driven products, beyond superficial “AI feature” work.
Technically fluent—comfortable discussing architecture, APIs, data models, and integrations.
Has built or coded applications (commercial products, internal tools, or serious side projects).
Actively uses AI in day-to-day work to accelerate thinking, writing, discovery, and execution.
Strong product judgment with the ability to operate in ambiguity and define structure where none exists.
