You’ll bring that operating system into a systems-heavy product domain and raise the quality and speed of requirements, tradeoffs, and delivery.</p> <p>You’ll partner with a Senior Product Manager and Engineering with meaningful independence: you lead specs, own prioritization within your scope, and bring recommendations — not only options to escalate.</p> <p><strong>What You'll Do:</strong></p> <p><strong>Ownership, outcomes & delivery</strong></p> <ul> <li>Own feature development for Action Processing (AP) and Contracting Squad initiatives (e.g. terms/commission behaviors, list and audience rules, contract workflows, and customer-driven requests).</li> <li>Define success up front (metrics / OKRs), ship, and follow through on outcomes — adoption, quality, rework reduction, or business impact — not just output.</li> <li>Write high-quality customer and business requirements that reduce rework and protect engineering focus.</li> <li>Develop Markdown requirements that live adjacent to the GitHub repo (versioned next to eng context, not only in Confluence/docs silos); lead pre-spec and spec reviews and drive release prioritization. Optimize for short time from ask → usable draft → eng-ready.</li> <li>Partner with Engineering through build: surface risks early; make crisp tradeoffs under incomplete information and own the recommendation.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Technical product craft & AI-native building</strong></p> <ul> <li>Operate as a technical PM in a systems-heavy domain: map system behavior, data flows, edge cases, and cross-squad dependencies with limited coaching.</li> <li>Use AI tools and agents as a core part of how you build — at work or in personal projects — to draft and pressure-test specs fast, synthesize research, prototype flows, explore edge cases, and accelerate analysis. AI should cut time to a good requirement, not inflate polish time.</li> <li>Walk through concrete AI-assisted builds you’ve shipped (prototypes, scripts, internal tools, product experiments, side projects): what you built, how agents/tools fit, what you validated, and how quickly others could react.</li> <li>Run analyses from source data and convert findings into insights, conclusions, and recommendations that drive prioritization and outcome trac
