            • Experience working with self-service checkout models and low-touch sales motions.

            • Proven ability to lead go-to-market strategies for product features directly connected to revenue impact, rather than focusing solely on awareness.

            • Experience developing positioning and messaging for both hardware and software products.

            • Ability to communicate complex product capabilities clearly to audiences with varying levels of technical familiarity.

            • Strong customer research skills, including conducting interviews, developing personas, and translating insights into messaging and product recommendations.

            • Total annual compensation, including equity, of $145,000–$175,000.

            • 401(k) retirement plan.

            • A collaborative, customer-focused environment that encourages ownership, curiosity, transparency, and continuous improvement.
