Responsibilities
- Own 3–4 client engagements simultaneously, serving as the strategic partner each founder works with directly
- Lead SWAT phases: embed with founders, map product and business landscape, and define the fastest path to shipped value
- Assemble and lead custom teams (engineers, designers, PMs, project managers) tailored to each client's needs
- Conduct founder-level conversations about business strategy and translate them into product architecture, backlogs, and shipped outcomes
- Connect dots between market trends, data, and founder vision to identify opportunities and make senior strategy and product recommendations
- Direct AI-native engineering workflows (Claude Code, agentic workflows, frontier models) and coach teams on AI co-creation
- Continuously evaluate whether what's being built is generating real user value — and course-correct when it's not
- Identify new product opportunities and engagements that could scale into standalone ventures
Requirements
- Founded and shipped at least one company (fundraising, building, selling, pivots — ideally an exit)
- Experience wearing multiple hats: CEO, CTO, product lead, or similar across engineering, design, product, and go-to-market
- Technical proficiency to direct AI-native engineering and strategic ability to challenge CEO-level assumptions on what to build and why
- Systems thinker: able to hold product, market, channel, and business model simultaneously and make fast decisions
- High EQ: able to build trust quickly with founders, read a room, and give hard feedback without breaking relationships
- Strong cultural fluency in US tech and startup ecosystems, with experience navigating American business environments
- Based in Latin America
