Product & Market Feasibility Researcher

Position Overview
We are looking for an experienced market research and strategy consultant to lead a 4-to-6-week feasibility study for a stealth-mode B2B software venture. You will evaluate market demand, technical ingestion constraints, and distribution economics for an automated risk and operational compliance platform targeting high-friction small-and-medium business (SMB) verticals.
Key Responsibilities
⚬ SMB Operational & Needs Analysis: Conduct 15–20 structured discovery interviews with SMB owners and operators in high-scrutiny service industries to validate regulatory friction, fine exposure, and willingness to pay for automated compliance tools.
⚬ Unstructured Data Feasibility Assessment: Evaluate the technical parameters, cost, and reliability of ingesting, parsing, and structuring highly fragmented public-sector data feeds using modern LLMs, web scraping, and third-party APIs.
⚬ Competitive & Regulatory Mapping: Map the landscape of legacy software, point-solution tools, and tech-enabled service providers. Identify legal guardrails and licensing requirements for software-driven risk guidance.
⚬ Go-To-Market (GTM) & Distribution Modeling: Analyze customer acquisition channels (direct vs. partner/channel distribution) to model realistic CAC, pricing tiers, and top-of-funnel content wedge strategies.
Qualifications
⚬ 4+ years in management consulting, venture building, startup product strategy, or market intelligence (experience in RegTech, LegalTech, HRTech, or B2B SaaS preferred).
⚬ Demonstrated experience designing technical feasibility studies for unstructured data pipelines and AI/LLM parsing workflows.
⚬ Strong primary research skills, including cold outreach, customer discovery interviews, and synthesizing qualitative data into actionable strategy.
⚬ Familiarity with B2B SaaS financial modeling, unit economics (CAC, LTV, payback periods), and channel partnership strategies.
Deliverables
⚬ Market Feasibility & Competitor Matrix: Synthesized findings on current market gaps, target segment profiles, and competitive moats.
⚬ Technical Ingestion Blueprint: High-level feasibility assessment on public data availability, technical bottlenecks, and preliminary build-vs-buy data costs.
⚬ GTM & Product Roadmap Recommendation: Clear strategic report detailing validation metrics, pricing recommendations, and initial go-to-market execution risks.
