- Ability to design, execute, and analyze A/B tests and data-driven experiments to inform product decisions.
- Experience building analytics instrumentation and dashboards from scratch, such as Heap or similar, in a low-visibility environment.

- Create comprehensive product requirements documents that communicate requirements, acceptance criteria, and technical needs for engineering execution.
- Partner with product, engineering, design, and account management to ship product improvements reliably and on time.
- Drive contractor adoption and product stickiness by identifying and removing user-experience friction and bugs, and discussing product performance against contractors' business goals directly with contractor clients.
- Design and execute A/B tests and controlled experiments to validate hypotheses about what drives or blocks documents signed.
- Analyze experiment results and make data-informed decisions about what to scale, optimize, or stop.
- Use a ship-and-learn approach, maintaining product quality while redirecting from underperforming experiments when needed.
- Use AI tools and platforms to automate workflows across the contractor experience and operations.
- Prototype and test product concepts with AI tools such as Claude and Cursor to validate ideas and communicate product vision to cross-functional teams.

- Report results and insights to stakeholders, pairing them with clear, actionable next steps.
- Bridge product, engineering, operations, and client experience, aligning stakeholders around plans despite competing priorities.
- Communicate roadmap strategy and tradeoffs clearly to executives and stakeholders.
- Remove blockers and organize complex workflows, timelines, and dependencies to keep teams aligned and progressing.
