Product Associate (Remote, US)
Please Note: This role focuses on product and market research, not on user story development or developer collaboration. Candidates should have extensive experience in primary and secondary research, including desktop research, competitive analysis, and facilitating in-depth interviews with experts and customers, to discern product differentiators and market trends. Experience in B2B SaaS market research, particularly in consultancy across various industries, is highly valued. Projects are fast-paced, typically 3-5 weeks long.
About the Job In the past two years, more than a trillion dollars have been invested in software companies at record prices. And in many cases, the underlying tech is the greatest enabler to the business strategy. But has the approach to govern technology value creation caught up to the magnitude of the risk? We believe a better way is possible – a more programmatic, proactive approach to actively manage technology throughout the investment lifecycle – and that’s what we do. We know that technology can create truly transformative change, and its role in business is only growing. Crosslake is here to support the changemakers and help them buy, build, and run better technology. As a Product Analyst, you will support our practitioners throughout projects by conducting rigorous primary and secondary research to address critical questions about product viability, market fit, and competitive positioning. Work You’ll Do You will be involved in rapid and comprehensive project cycles across diverse industries. In collaboration with internal project team members including practitioners and directors, as well as external stakeholders from technology companies, private equity, and investment firms, you will play a key role in assessing and identifying strengths, opportunities, and risks associated with software products and services. Your analytical work will provide foundational support for strategic advisement, guiding due diligence for acquisition candidates, and fostering the transformation of underperforming assets through targeted growth strategies and value creation initiatives. By supporting the synthesis of complex data into coherent narratives, you will contribute to addressing critical questions about product-market fit and competitive differentiation, thereby equipping our clients with the insights needed for informed strategic decision-making.
