Role
Who you are

- Communication: Synthesizing complex ideas into crisp, actionable insights
What the job involves
- We're looking for a strategic Product Leader who's learned lessons the hard way in the trenches and is ready to scale our vision
- You'll need to balance exploration with decision-making, and have the resilience to drive massive impact
- Lead product strategy across multiple product areas, taking ideas from concept through impactful delivery

- Build and mentor high-performing product teams while fostering a bias for action
- What Success Looks Like:
- Strong product intuition backed by data-driven decision making
- Ability to strip opportunities down to their barest form and make hard trade-offs

Our take
The integration of market data into the many functions of enterprise has been a consistent trend in SaaS markets for a number of years. Klue is taking a similar approach for teams looking to understand competitive landscapes.
The startup is uniquely attempting to create a new category of ‘competitive enablement software’. Whereas other software companies sought to fix a company’s business intelligence needs or content placement strategies, Klue brings all of these services together under the lens of competitive positioning.
Klue plans to find ways to reduce the burden of collecting intel and also automate insights. The company wants to introduce deeper integrations with enterprise tools like Slack, Salesforce, Gong, Highspot and Gainsights.
The biggest risk facing the company is that their product is currently more enterprise friendly, supported by customer specialists. For the software company to achieve true scale, they will want to democratise access to competitive enablement with a self-serve software available to small businesses.
