Work closely with customers to gather insights, define pain points, and validate solutions.
Collaborate with Engineering, Sales, and Customer Success to develop and launch new features.
Create and maintain product documentation, including Marketing and Product Requirements Documents (PRDs).
Lead cross-functional initiatives to improve user experience, adoption, and retention.
Prioritize and manage competing demands, balancing short-term execution with long-term strategic goals.
Act as an internal champion for the customer, ensuring their needs are always top of mind.
Who You Are...
You’ll thrive at Amper if you:
Have a strong appetite for learning, whether it’s technical content or industry-specific challenges.
Are a collaborative problem-solver who can build consensus and drive alignment across teams.
Are highly adaptable, able to switch contexts and wear multiple hats in a fast-paced environment.
Have strong communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex ideas clearly.
Balance humility with confidence, knowing when to teach and when to learn.
