Job Description

Job Summary

We're seeking a hands-on Customer Discovery and Commercial Strategy Lead to uncover customer needs, shape market-winning strategies, and transform how our organization responds to markets. This isn't a traditional product management role. You'll lead continuous customer discovery, translate insights into commercial strategies (pricing, packaging, GTM), and build internal capability so teams can sustain customer-centric practices without you.

Working across product, engineering, sales, and marketing, you'll bridge the gap between what we build (solutions / offerings) and what customers truly need, shifting us from internally-focused to market-led.

Job Responsibilities: Customer Discovery & Continuous Research

  • Lead ongoing customer discovery initiatives to deeply understand client needs, pain points, decision drivers, and jobs-to-be-done across target segments
  • Apply continuous discovery methods to shape offerings and strategy
  • Design and execute qualitative and quantitative research efforts including customer interviews, win/loss analysis, surveys, and observational studies
  • Develop rich customer personas, journey maps, and ideal customer profiles (ICPs) that inform everything from product roadmap to sales enablement
  • Build repeatable frameworks and processes for customer research and market validation that internal teams can adopt, scale, and sustain
Our compensation reflects the cost of labor across several US geographic markets. The base pay for this position ranges from $128,300/year in our lowest geographic market up to $213,900/year in our highest geographic market. Pay is based on a number of factors including market location and may vary depending on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process. The compensation package may also include incentive compensation opportunities in the form of annual bonus or incentives, equity awards and an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP).
