- This is a high-impact, high-visibility opportunity to shape the product direction of an ambitious AI company
- You'll work closely with cross-functional teams to validate hypotheses, enable our GTM teams, and deliver products that reduce time to value for Media & Entertainment customers
- Engage directly with customers in the Media & Entertainment space to understand their workflows, pain points, and untapped opportunities
- Spend time in the field with customers to understand their workflows, challenges, and goals
- Become an expert in customer domains and translate real-world insights & problems into actionable product strategy
- Conduct field research, lightweight prototyping, and testing to validate user hypotheses before investing in full-scale development
- Own the end-to-end lifecycle of new product development, from alpha through beta to GA
- Define product roadmaps grounded in customer value, technical feasibility, and business impact
- Identify the right product levers to drive adoption, reduce time to sale, and accelerate customer success
- Establish a strong hypothesis-driven product development loop, continuously experimenting and learning from users
- Lead structured product discovery efforts grounded in hypothesis testing and feedback loops
- Use both qualitative feedback and quantitative signals to prioritize, validate, and iterate on features
- Collaborate closely with engineering, ML, design, customer solutions, and sales to ship usable, lovable, and scalable features
- Partner with sales and customer success to enable successful launches, define training and onboarding materials, and shorten ramp times for GTM teams
- Design and manage beta programs to gather early feedback, build champions, and refine feature sets
- Ensure each product release is coupled with clear messaging, enablement, and adoption strategies
- Contribute to the company's long-term product strategy by identifying opportunities where AI can drive transformative value for our customers
- Influence leadership and stakeholders through clear, evidence-backed communication of product bets and tradeoffs
- Act as a thought partner in applying AI meaningfully, especially in multimodal domains like video, audio, and text
- Strategic Impact: You will help shape the future direction of Coactive's AI platform at a pivotal stage of growth
- Customer-Centered Innovation: You'll have direct access to customers and the autonomy to build what they truly need, not just what they ask for
