Responsibilities

Strategic roadmap ownership & business alignment

Backlog & prioritization governance

• Triage and prioritize a varied cross-functional backlog spanning checkout, payments, growth initiatives, content workflows, data integrations, partner needs, security, infrastructure, and technical debt.
• Serve as Product Owner for the engineering team, translating business priorities into a clear, sequenced backlog and partnering with Engineering to define scope, acceptance criteria, sprint priorities, and release tradeoffs.
• Use clear business-value criteria to explain prioritization decisions and help stakeholders understand tradeoffs.
• Represent the value and risk of foundational work, including security, compliance, infrastructure hardening, disaster recovery, and technical debt remediation.
• Partner with Engineering, Program Management, IT, Security, and executive stakeholders to sequence work based on business impact, technical complexity, and organizational capacity.
• Surface priority conflicts, delivery risks, scope changes, and tradeoffs early, with clear recommendations for resolution.

Cross-Functional Product Leadership

• Collaborate with Engineering and technical leadership with enough fluency in modern cloud-based systems to make product tradeoff decisions.
• Communicate complex technical and business tradeoffs clearly to executive, technical, and non-technical audiences.
• Drive adoption of new platform capabilities by ensuring they meet stakeholder needs and create measurable business value.
• Create visibility into commitments, dependencies, risks, and decisions across cross-functional initiatives.

• Bring a genuine growth mindset to new tools, platforms, and ways of working, and incorporate state-of-the-art techniques on the job.
• Adopt AI-native delivery practices as part of day-to-day product work, including requirements review, roadmap analysis, research synthesis, and prototyping.

• Demonstrated ability to independently form and negotiate a data-backed point of view with senior stakeholders.
• Strong bias toward action, self-directed ownership, and disciplined follow-through on goals, decisions, and dependencies.
• Experience setting business goals and a track record of delivering measurable results.
• Experience managing SaaS vendor relationships, such as CMS, payments, eCommerce, experimentation, analytics, or license-management platforms.
• Experience with payment platforms (e.g., FastSpring, Stripe) and eCommerce platforms (e.g., Shopify, WooCommerce, Builder.io).
• Working knowledge of modern web and cloud architecture, including headless CMS, server-rendered JavaScript frameworks, APIs, data integrations, and major cloud providers.
