- Strong product/segment marketing instincts for complex technical products (AI, deep tech, SaaS, biotech, industrial tech).
- Ability to work fluently with technical teams and translate technical truth into buyer-relevant value.
- Experience building functions and operating systems from early stage to scale.
- Strong analytical and operational discipline, with comfort owning metrics and performance reviews.
