Comprehensive Product Strategy & User Research for SaaS Platform - Agile Implementation Focus

We are seeking an experienced product strategist to conduct in-depth user research and define a clear, actionable roadmap for our rapidly growing SaaS platform. The project will involve extensive competitor analysis, stakeholder interviews (both internal and external), usability testing of existing features, and identification of unmet user needs. The final deliverable will be a comprehensive product strategy document outlining key priorities, feature recommendations (with supporting data), and prioritization frameworks. A crucial aspect of this project is the implementation of agile methodologies to ensure iterative development and continuous improvement based on user feedback. We'll use Jira for task management and require experience with sprint planning, backlog refinement, and daily stand-ups. The ideal candidate will demonstrate a strong understanding of lean product development principles and possess excellent communication skills to effectively present findings and recommendations to our executive team. This requires a proactive individual capable of independently driving research efforts while collaborating effectively with engineering and design teams to translate insights into tangible product enhancements. Experience using both Trello and Jira is highly preferred, as we are currently evaluating project management tools. We're looking for someone who can not only identify opportunities but also articulate a compelling vision for the future of our product.
