About the Role
This hands-on role is responsible for enhancing Crunchbase's value to investors and venture ecosystem participants through investor-facing product experiences, structured feedback loops, and targeted internal AI-powered tools. The primary focus is on building investor-facing products and feedback loops to deepen engagement, while the secondary focus is on creating internal AI tools to improve operational efficiency. This role requires end-to-end ownership, including identifying opportunities, gathering feedback, defining requirements, designing solutions, writing code, building prototypes, shipping experiences, and measuring impact. Hands-on technical execution is essential, involving writing, understanding, debugging, deploying, and maintaining code using modern AI-assisted development approaches.
Responsibilities
- Build and evolve investor-facing product experiences that improve Crunchbase’s value to investors, venture firms, founders, and venture ecosystem participants.
- Establish and operate structured feedback loops, including advisory groups, beta programs, early access cohorts, customer interviews, demos, office hours, and product feedback channels.
- Act as the voice of investors and venture ecosystem users within the Product organization.
- Translate qualitative feedback and behavioral signals into product requirements, experiments, prototypes, and roadmap recommendations.
- Identify opportunities to improve investor engagement, adoption, satisfaction, and product-market fit.
- Partner with Product, Design, Engineering, Revenue, and Operations teams to convert investor insights into high-impact product opportunities.
- Measure the impact of investor-facing initiatives using adoption, engagement, retention, satisfaction, and business outcome metrics.
- Build internal AI-powered tools and workflows that improve operational efficiency across Crunchbase.
- Identify manual, fragmented, repetitive, or brittle workflows and replace them with scalable internal systems.
- Design and implement tools that integrate data, AI models, automation, APIs, and user workflows.
- Deploy tools in limited-access internal environments for use by Crunchbase teams.
- Own the ongoing maintenance, debugging, documentation, and improvement of the internal tools you build.
- Ensure internal tools are reliable, secure, observable, and maintainable for their intended use case.
- Help internal teams adopt AI-powered workflows in practical, measurable ways.
- Define product opportunities, user problems, business requirements, and success metrics.
- Prioritize initiatives based on user impact, business value, urgency, and implementation complexity.
- Translate ambiguous problems into clear requirements, technical approaches, prototypes, and shipped solutions.
- Break initiatives into iterative milestones and manage delivery from discovery through launch and post-launch optimization.
- Make thoughtful tradeoffs across speed, quality, usability, maintainability, cost, and risk.
- Measure adoption, engagement, operational impact, and business outcomes after launch.
- Write, modify, debug, and maintain code using modern AI-assisted development workflows.
- Use vibe coding, spec-to-code workflows, rapid prototyping, and iterative development to move quickly from problem definition to working software.
- Build prototypes and production-ready internal tools that real users can rely on in limited-access environments.
- Integrate data sources, APIs, AI models, automation platforms, and user interfaces into functional workflows.
- Own performance, reliability, documentation, and ongoing improvements for the systems you build.
- Know when a solution is appropriate for direct ownership and when it requires deeper Engineering partnership for scale, security, or long-term infrastructure needs.
- Partner with Product, Design, Engineering, Revenue, Operations, and business teams to identify high-impact product and operational opportunities.
- Work directly with investors, customers, and internal stakeholders to understand needs and validate solutions.
- Communicate clearly about priorities, tradeoffs, technical constraints, risks, and expected outcomes.
- Contribute to the evolution of modern product development practices across Crunchbase.
