Contract
Full-Time
Own the space between a good idea and a shipped feature. You decide what "done" means, write it down clearly enough that an engineer can start on Monday, and stay close enough to the build that the scope does not quietly grow on the way. You own it end to end: specs, acceptance criteria, dependencies, and a backlog that keeps everyone honest about what is actually shipping.
What you'll do
- Turning opportunities into scoped, sequenced, estimable work: specs, acceptance criteria, edge cases, dependencies
- Running the backlog: grooming, prioritisation input, keeping the board honest about what is in flight, blocked, or quietly drifting
- Being the interface between customer signal (support threads, CS conversations, call notes) and the engineering queue
- Coordinating releases and checking that what shipped matches what was scoped
- Presenting product decisions to varied stakeholder groups, from engineers to enterprise clients
What you'll need
- 3+ years in a product company, where you personally wrote the tickets
- Technical enough to understand a data model, an API contract, and estimation
- Demonstrable writing ability, be ready to share a spec, PRD or decision doc
- You have worked somewhere small enough that there was nowhere to hide
- You want to be coached hard: direct feedback, weekly, on your actual work
- You are fluent with AI tooling, day to day
Nice to have
- B2B enterprise SaaS background
- Familiarity with venture clienting, corporate innovation, or startup-scouting workflows
- Notion fluency
