• Lead end-to-end product lifecycle and day-to-day execution, driving discovery and ideation through strategic development, detailed requirements definition, delivery, and ongoing value management, while owning prioritization, stakeholder/client communications and experience, project management, including when things go wrong, by leading incident triage, coordinating cross-functional war rooms (Product, Engineering, Ops, Risk/Controls, vendors), driving root-cause analysis, and ensuring timely recovery with clear client/business communications.
