The situation
A promising hiring concept needed to become a testable operating experience. The challenge was not only defining the product. It was creating a credible path for external partners to use it, evaluate it, and generate useful feedback.
The approach
I led the product-definition and go-to-market layer for the experiment. I translated the concept into requirements, validation rules, user flows, email confirmations, success criteria, outreach systems, partner onboarding materials, fallback tests, and feedback loops.
What I built
- a requirements and validation specification for the live experiment
- candidate and partner-facing user journeys
- success criteria and business metrics
- onboarding and enablement materials for external partners
- outreach workflows, email confirmations, and fallback tests
- a structured feedback loop for product and go-to-market iteration
Why it matters
The work translated an ambiguous opportunity into a live, measurable product experiment with an external learning loop. It demonstrates how I connect product definition with the operating details required to test a concept in the market.
Result
We launched the product with two pilot partners and delivered the operating experience to both organizations. One partner was a professional cleaning services firm operating across multiple states. The other was a school system with nine locations across the Washington, D.C. and Maryland area.
What I learned
A product experiment becomes much more valuable when the learning loop is designed alongside the user experience. Requirements, onboarding, metrics, and fallback behavior are not secondary details; they determine whether the test produces useful evidence.
