Define the metrics, visualizations, and reporting that make our products indispensable
Translate AI-search and content data into insights that DMOs, travel brands, and our own consumers can act on
Work with clients directly to understand needs, run demos, and turn feedback into product
Help us go from one paying customer to several in your first six months

What you’ll need

A genuine data scientist's toolkit — comfort with data, probabilities, and statistical reasoning; the ability to look at a dataset, ask sharp questions, model a score, and translate the result into a product decision
Ability to build a data-driven web product yourself — front-end development (React/TypeScript or similar), SQL query design, and score/metric modeling. You've shipped working software, not just specs
A working understanding of how LLMs and AI search actually function, and fluency with AI build tools (Claude Code or similar)
3+ years of product management or equivalent ownership experience, ideally with data products or analytics platforms
Client-facing experience — you've sat with users, run demos, gathered feedback, and turned it into product
Self-starter energy — you're comfortable being a team of one, wearing every hat, and moving fast
Excellent written and verbal communication
