Product Strategist
About the role
Product Strategist
At Livefront, we help companies design and build world-class digital products that command attention and inspire joy. We’ve helped household names like CVS, Samsung, General Mills, and Optum create experiences that have reached millions of people, and startups like HomeSpotter and Credly build entirely new businesses that challenge their industries’ status quo.
We’re looking for an outstanding Product Strategist to join our team.
Who you are
It’s not just about the technology for you, but rather how novel technology can be exploited to forge new business opportunities and make people’s everyday lives better. You have a keen eye for compelling experience design and recognize its power when paired with ambitious service design. You are able to skillfully align the right technologies with the right problems, and you aren’t afraid to make shrewd prioritization when needed to keep moving forward. You know how to take ambiguity and turn it into action, earning buy-in from even the most skeptical stakeholders along the way. Your superpower is your ability to inspire, influence, and compel efforts across disciplines and organizational structures. You're just as comfortable designing the strategy for a product as you are doing the heavy lifting to make it come to life. You can navigate complex and politically-charged discussions and decisions.
What you will be doing
- Craft compelling product visions that inspire and guide our clients.
- Formulate detailed product strategies that are tightly aligned with overarching client business objectives and effectively address the diverse needs of target users
- Execute comprehensive market and user research initiatives using a combination of qualitative techniques, such as interviews and focus groups; and quantitative methodologies, including surveys and data analysis.
- Conduct competitive or peer analysis of the digital experiences within a given industry or category, developing an original point of view to be shared with our clients.
- Collaborate closely with Livefront’s business development team on new business pursuits, providing subject matter experience and perspective throughout the pre-sales process.
- Incorporate AI into the discovery process, exploring and executing on ways to increase your leverage as a Product Strategist through the use of agentic tools.
- Identify opportunities within the client ecosystem to leverage technology for new product features, improved user experiences, and improved business outcomes.
- Inform strategic decisions with insights on user behavior, market trends, and competitive landscapes.
- Lead co-creation sessions and workshops with cross-functional teams to generate innovative product ideas.
- Effectively lead and guide client teams through the often messy and complex process of early-stage product development
- Facilitate collaborative discussions and decision-making to ensure alignment and buy-in on the most impactful features that should be developed and launched.
- Guide and instruct client teams on what is needed (by way of decisions, process, and resources) to take a new product concept from idea to launch.
Why you should apply
- You want to be at the center of the strategic apex of where products are planned and defined before coming to market.
- You are energized by the opportunity to contribute to a growing business and work closely with the business development function.
- You want to work with passionate and talented people who are always looking for ways to make things better.
