Associate

Dear Future Colleague,

Thank you for your interest in working with us. We invite you to explore our firm and evaluate whether we are aligned for a meaningful professional journey.

At its core, XQtiv is a global talent advisory firm. We help companies solve complex leadership challenges through senior partner-led executive search and through our own platforms that bring clarity, structure, and rigor to how leaders are assessed.

Xyden.ai is our leadership maturity assessment platform. It does not measure personality. It evaluates how a leader allocates time, makes trade-offs under pressure, and operates within a defined business context.

We are building not just an assessment tool, but a framework that can scale across roles, industries, and leadership levels.

About the Role

We are seeking a Product Analyst who will take accountability for product working on product build, launch, design and future iterations. This role is not theoretical research. It is about applied and experiential knowledge.

You will not just assist. You will own outcomes. You will ask better questions, refine how we measure leadership, improve insights, and continuously iterate on the product based on real feedback and data.

This role requires curiosity, ownership, structured thinking, and the confidence to challenge and improve what already exists.

Key Responsibilities

Own the Product End-to-End

Take full accountability for assessment quality, clarity, and coherence

Proactively identify gaps and drive continuous improvements

Develop and Refine Assessment Questions

Design structured questions that reflect real leadership trade-offs

Continuously test and enhance question clarity, depth, and insight quality

Generate and Strengthen Insights

Elevate feedback to ensure it is practical, behavior-grounded, and actionable

Identify response patterns and refine interpretation rigor

Iterate Based on Learning

Incorporate structured feedback from teams and clients

Analyze performance gaps and implement targeted improvements

Maintain Structure and Discipline

Keep documentation, definitions, and frameworks precise and updated

Ensure consistency and quality control across all outputs

Contribute to Future Products

Help evolve the maturity framework and underlying architecture

What We Are Looking For

Educational Background

Bachelors degree in Organizational Psychology, Industrial-Organizational Psychology, or a closely related field

Core Capability

Strong sense of ownership and accountability

Curiosity and desire to deeply understand how leaders operate

Structured and logical thinking

Comfort working in an evolving, early-stage product environment

Ability to independently identify problems and propose solutions

Experience

03 years in product, consulting, research, assessment design, or related roles

Experience developing structured questions or evaluation frameworks preferred

Comfort analyzing qualitative and behavioral data

Strong written and verbal communication

This role is ideal for someone who wants to build something meaningful, not just execute tasks. You will help define how leadership maturity is measured, refined, and continuously improved.
