• Gather insights from customer feedback, usage data, and market research to identify opportunities for innovation and improvement.
• Help develop a fact base to support product investment decisions and roadmap prioritization.

Product Craft & Iteration

• Use modern product tools to prototype ideas, model workflows, and communicate product concepts effectively.
• Evaluate the success of delivered features through user feedback, product metrics, and adoption signals.
• Continuously refine product capabilities based on real-world usage and evolving customer needs.

Product Evangelism

• Serve as an internal advocate for the product area, helping teams understand the vision, value, and impact of new capabilities.
• Support internal enablement efforts that help teams adopt and effectively leverage new product functionality.

Basic Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience in product management or a closely related role delivering software products.
• Demonstrated ability to work closely with engineering teams to ship product features from concept through release.
• Experience managing product roadmaps, defining requirements, and prioritizing backlogs.
