5–8+ years of experience building highly technical products, with at least 2–3 years as a Senior PM or above (or equivalent demonstrated scope and ownership)
Engineering background or equivalent technical depth — you can review architecture, reason about API design, and hold your own in a technical discussion without needing an engineer to translate
You've shipped and owned production-grade systems at scale, with the reliability, observability, and hard tradeoffs that come with complex systems
A track record of operating as a trusted technical partner to enterprise customers — managing ambiguity and competing priorities, influencing without authority, and knowing when to push back
A high quality bar and quick to learn — you sweat the details others let slide, and pick up unfamiliar tools and domains fast
Exceptional communication: you can explain a complex integration decision to an engineer, then explain the same decision to a VP
You've worked with language models and production AI agents, and understand not just what they do but also how they work under the hood
You are familiar with retail or consumer business operations — order management, CX workflows, fulfillment, subscriptions, or commerce infrastructure
You're a builder — side projects, open source, a startup attempt, or real production code (TypeScript, Go, Python, or similar) and enjoy getting your hands dirty
Experience working in a dedicated, embedded model with a named enterprise account — you know what it means to be accountable for a relationship at that depth
MBA or equivalent business breadth — this is a product role, but you'll shape account strategy, commercial conversations, and what Sierra builds next
