Product Analyst (Growth & Opportunity) – Flexible Title & Commitment

Were hiring a Product Analyst (Growth & Opportunity)!

Summary

• Flexible Title: Can tailor to reflect your skills & experience.
• Flexible Time: Can do full-time part-time side-gig (off-hours) or fractional (contract).
• Flexible Commitment: Can do short-term long-term or intermittent.

Why so flexible Were a FUNDED startup racing to launch end of Q2 2026. That gives us just 3 months to stack features while raising additional working capital. Feel free to jump in help us ship then bounce >> or stick around. A successful launch translates into lots of permanent jobs for those that want them. Were also interested in long term side gig relationships if thats what youre into - in our experience a few expert hours often beat full-time learning-curve hours.

About Us

Were a credible funded remote-first startup led by a serial technical founder and backed by a 20-person team. The product is live in private alpha.

About The Role

This is not a product manager role. Were not looking for someone to write PRDs run standups or babysit a backlog. Were looking for the person who figures out what we should build next using real signals not opinions.

You run experiments not meetings. You turn user behavior market dynamics and competitive landscape into product direction that the team can act on. You understand what motivates people the incentives psychology and friction that drive real behavior and you can apply that thinking across industries to anticipate how users will act before they do. Youre closer to a quant or an operator than a traditional PM someone who finds leverage surfaces the opportunities that matter and makes it obvious where to focus.

You wont manage engineers. Youll influence what they build by giving them something most teams never have: a clear evidence-based picture of what matters most right now and why.

This role works closely with the founder and engineering leadership. Youre the person who makes sure were building the right thing not just building things right.

If your background is primarily writing feature specs and attending sprint ceremonies this likely isnt a fit. If youve shaped product direction through research data and experimentation and youve been right more often than not keep reading.

Compensation

Up to $300000 max total compensation in Tier 1 cities; cash and equity components to be negotiated (amount reflects combined cash and equity components).

What Success Looks Like in 30 Days

• Youve identified at least one high-leverage opportunity the team wasnt seeing backed by evidence not intuition alone
• Youve established a lightweight system for continuously capturing and synthesizing signals from users competitors and the market
• Engineering and product leadership are using your analysis to make real prioritization decisions
• You can articulate our biggest product risks and opportunities clearly enough that the founder can act on them immediately
• Youre already using AI tooling to accelerate research analysis and synthesis and its visibly compressing your cycle time

What Youll Do

• Find the opportunities that matter conduct market research analyze user behavior study competitors and surface the insights that should change what we build next
• Run experiments not meetings design and execute lightweight tests that validate or kill ideas before engineering invests heavily. Youre hypothesis-driven and allergic to building on assumptions
• Turn signals into direction synthesize messy incomplete information from multiple sources into clear recommendations the team can act on. You dont just report findings you make the call on what they mean
• Shape prioritization work with the founder and engineering leadership to ensure the roadmap reflects the highest-leverage opportunities not just the loudest requests
• Understand the user deeply talk to users study their behavior map their workflows. You build empathy through evidence not personas
• Think in incentives and motivation understand why people do what they do what drives adoption what creates friction what makes someone come back
• Monitor the landscape track competitive moves market shifts and adjacent opportunities so were never surprised and always positioned to move first
• Communicate with clarity present findings and recommendations at an executive level. You write clearly visualize data effectively and make complex trade-offs easy to understand
• Leverage AI as a research multiplier use AI tooling to accelerate market research competitive analysis data synthesis and hypothesis generation

What Were Looking For

• Signal finder not spec writer youve shaped product direction through research and analysis not just documented requirements. You know how to find the insight in the noise
• Experiment-driven you default to testing not debating. Youve designed and run experiments that changed what a team built whether A/B tests user interviews market analyses or prototype validations
• Quantitative and qualitative range youre comfortable with data analysis and user research. You can pull insights from a spreadsheet and a conversation with equal confidence
• Early and avid AI adopter youre already using AI tooling to move faster research synthesis analysis writing. You see it as a natural extension of how you think not a novelty
• Product instincts grounded in behavioral thinking you understand incentives motivation and friction well enough to predict how users will respond across industries not just one domain. You have a sense for what will work before the data confirms it
• Clear communicator you can explain a complex opportunity or risk to the founder in two minutes. You write well you present well and you dont hide behind jargon
• Startup fluency youve worked in environments where the data is messy the user base is small and you have to triangulate from imperfect sources. You find that energizing not frustrating
• Independent operator you dont need a manager to tell you what to research next. You see gaps form hypotheses and go after answers

Nice to Have

• Experience in an analyst product strategy or growth role at an early-stage startup
• Background in marketplace network or platform products where user dynamics were complex
• Experience working directly with a founder or executive team to shape product direction
• Comfort with SQL analytics tools or data platforms enough to self-serve not necessarily to build pipelines
• Track record of killing bad ideas early saving engineering time by disproving assumptions before they became features
• Experience synthesizing competitive intelligence into actionable product strategy
• Cross-industry experience youve worked across multiple verticals or user types and can transfer behavioral insights between them
