This role in one paragraph:

Be the voice of the customer for an entire industry at Zeitview. You will be Zeitviews resident expert for one of our target verticals -- solar wind electric utilities oil & gas or commercial properties. You own problem definition: understanding what enterprise customers in your vertical actually need why they need it and what its worth. You run discovery build client relationships alongside sales synthesize market signals and translate all of that into clear prioritized requirements that our platform product managers and engineering teams can execute against. You are responsible for competitive intel and defining metrics to demonstrate the success of the product and strategies. You should be growth focused. You will not just iterate on our existing product/service offerings but propose business cases and GTM for expanding our offerings. You do not own the product backlog or ship software directly you own the what and why then work with solutions-side PMs to negotiate the how and when.

What youll actually do in the first 6 months:

• Define what success looks like for your vertical in terms that connect to revenue retention and customer outcomes not just feature delivery
• Embed with 35 strategic accounts in your vertical. Not to sell but to understand their inspection workflows pain points and decision-making structures deeply enough to write requirements theyd recognize as their own
• Run structured discovery across a mix of methods (customer interviews operational ride-alongs competitive analysis usage data) and synthesize findings into a prioritized problem set for your vertical
• Negotiate with platform PMs over engineering capacity making the case for your verticals priorities with data and customer evidence not volume
• Write requirements that hold up under engineering scrutiny: specific enough to build from flexible enough to serve platform-wide
• Build internal credibility as the person who knows your industry better than anyone else in the building

• You can run structured discovery and synthesize qualitative and quantitative inputs into a prioritized problem set that other teams can act on
