• Champion Product Excellence: Define and elevate the standards for the broader product organization, raising the bar for customer obsession, rigorous measurement, and high-velocity innovation.

• CLEAR1 portfolio adoption, retention, and revenue growth across enterprise customers.
• Expansion of strategic enterprise relationships and successful delivery of customer commitments.
• Platform scalability, reliability, and readiness to support new markets and use cases.

What Youre Great At:

• Bridging the Gap: 12+ years leading complex B2B or SaaS portfolios, with a track record of transitioning from "scrappy growth" to a predictable, enterprise-grade engine.
• Executive Presence with Customers: Comfortable operating as a senior external face of the product credible with partners; able to influence deals, shape requirements, and build trust.
• Vertical Integration Strategy: Strong instinct for how a horizontal technology (like Identity) becomes a dominant wedge in markets like Healthcare, Financial Services, or Government.
• Economic Thinking: Deep understanding of how product decisions impact margin, CAC, and long-term customer value.
• Leading Through Ambiguity: Thrive in startup environments, able to find Product-Market Fit in new territory while maintaining the discipline required of a public company executive.
