Job Summary

Lead Strategy & Operations for expanding AI-powered home services verticals. Go deep into new verticals by talking directly to business owners to understand workflows, economics, and pain points; determine opportunities and build the prioritization framework for the company. Translate customer insights into product requirements—partner with engineering and product to adapt AI agents for each vertical. Develop go-to-market strategies, partnership plays, and onboarding playbooks tailored to each vertical. Build the repeatable playbook the company uses to enter, validate, and scale every future vertical.
