• Define success metrics and validation strategies to compare our approaches against existing PML/ERM and portfolio views, and to demonstrate differentiated value
• Identify, evaluate, and prioritize new AI / LQM use cases across multiple domains (beyond Finance/Risk), from early signals to clearer opportunities
• Lead 0→1 product discovery: problem framing, hypothesis development, lightweight customer validation, and rapid iteration on prototypes
• Work with engineering and research to scope experiments that are small enough to move quickly but meaningful enough to answer key questions
• Establish and champion a rigorous but pragmatic approach to ruthless prioritization, ensuring the team focuses on the highest-impact opportunities
• Serve as a trusted product partner to senior stakeholders at key customers (e.g., heads of risk, portfolio managers, actuaries, CROs), speaking credibly about risk models, scenarios, and portfolio decisions
