A little about us… Knit is the AI-native consumer research platform helping brands automate and accelerate primary research. With our Researcher-Driven AI, we’ve condensed the entire quant + qual research process from weeks into days (sometimes hours!) for 50+ enterprise brands — including Amazon, T-Mobile, Mars, NASCAR, and more. We’re on a mission to scale and democratize world-class research. From survey generation to stakeholder-ready reports, our platform is redefining how insights teams operate — and we need your help to push the limits of what’s possible.

This is a force multiplier role in a senior-heavy team, and at this level, we expect your judgment and conviction to shape not just what you ship, but what Knit becomes. Outcomes Success in this role is defined by sharper product decisions, stronger execution, and measurable customer and business impact on the surface you own. Customer adoption of shipped work: Usage and adoption rates of new and materially updated capabilities within our target ICP. Product velocity and roadmap reliability: Consistent shipping against outcome-driven commitments, with fewer mid-stream changes and clearer scope on what's in vs. out. Customer and business impact: Expansion revenue, win rate, retention, and customer value creation attributable to your product work. Cross-functional coherence: Engineering, Research, and GTM operating from one shared reality about what matters most, and why. Strategic contr…
