Key Responsibilities

Product Strategy and Vision

  • Define and continuously evolve the portfolio vision and strategy, including target customers, priority needs, differentiated value propositions, strategic choices, and measures of success.
  • Translate company strategy into product outcomes, portfolio priorities, investment recommendations, and a coherent multi-year direction.
  • Assess market trends, competitive dynamics, economics, regulatory considerations, and adjacent opportunities to inform strategic choices.
  • Create clear product narratives that align executives and cross-functional teams around where OSV will play and how the portfolio will win.

Customer Discovery and Market Insight

  • Establish continuous discovery practices that maintain direct, regular contact with employers, employees, buyers, users, and internal customer-facing teams.
  • Frame customer problems and opportunities before prescribing solutions; validate assumptions through interviews, data, research, prototypes, and market tests.
  • Connect discovery insights to strategy, roadmap choices, partner decisions, and product improvements.
  • Build shared visibility into customer evidence so prioritization is grounded in learning rather than stakeholder volume.

Partner Strategy and Decisions

  • Define the partner ecosystem strategy and determine where OSV should build, buy, integrate, or partner.
  • Lead partner evaluation and selection using clear criteria for customer value, strategic fit, economics, capabilities, scalability, experience, risk, and operational readiness.
  • Partner with Legal, Compliance, Finance, Technology, Security, and Operations on due diligence, contracting, integration, and launch decisions.
  • Establish partner scorecards, operating rhythms, and stakeholder reviews to manage performance, resolve issues, and guide renewal, expansion, or replacement decisions.

Roadmap and Portfolio Management

  • Own an outcome-based roadmap that communicates priority problems, intended outcomes, strategic bets, dependencies, and learning milestones.
  • Prioritize across the portfolio by balancing customer value, business impact, confidence, effort, risk, and organizational capacity.
  • Lead quarterly and annual planning for the portfolio and provide transparent rationale for tradeoffs and sequencing.
  • Ensure teams have sufficient context and decision clarity to solve problems without becoming feature-order takers.

Commercialization and Lifecycle Leadership

  • Partner across Marketing, Sales, Customer Success, Implementation, Operations, Support, Finance, and Compliance to shape commercialization from the beginning of product work.
  • Define target segments, positioning, packaging, pricing inputs, channel approach, launch objectives, enablement needs, operational readiness, and adoption plans.
  • Use stakeholder reviews to align on readiness, unresolved risks, decisions, ownership, and next steps without creating unnecessary approval bureaucracy.
  • Monitor post-launch adoption, engagement, customer feedback, service performance, economics, and partner results; adjust the product and go-to-market approach based on evidence.
  • Manage products across their lifecycle, including scaling, optimization, repositioning, consolidation, and retirement recommendations.

Product Performance and Business Outcomes

  • Define a balanced scorecard of customer, product, partner, operational, commercial, and financial outcomes.
  • Monitor adoption, utilization, engagement, retention, satisfaction, revenue contribution, cost-to-serve, partner performance, and portfolio return.
  • Create concise executive reporting that highlights outcomes, learning, decisions, risks, and recommended actions.
  • Treat roadmap and investment decisions as hypotheses to be measured and refined rather than commitments to output.

People Leadership and Product Excellence

  • Lead, coach, and develop the initial team member and hire an additional team member as the portfolio expands.
  • Set clear outcomes, decision rights, expectations, and development plans while creating meaningful ownership for each team member.
  • Build team capability in product discovery, strategy, partner management, roadmapping, analytics, experimentation, and commercialization.
  • Model customer obsession, intellectual honesty, accountability, collaboration, and continuous learning.
