Identify and validate customer problems through user research, usage analytics, partner insights, and AI-powered discovery tools. Rapidly prototype and run focused experiments to test hypotheses and de-risk new ideas early in the development process. Lead cross-functional planning by aligning Engineering, Design, and business stakeholders around clear product goals and trade-offs. Drive feature strategy and influence roadmaps by proposing initiatives rooted in customer impact and market opportunity. Break down complex projects into incremental, testable releasesβusing component reuse and system thinking to accelerate delivery. Collaborate closely with Tech Leads and Designers to shape solutions, assess feasibility, and fine-tune implementation details. Use AI-enhanced tools (e.g., for prototyping, journey mapping, or copy generation) to increase speed and creativity in product workflows. Define product success metrics upfront and track adoption, engagement, and retention to inform iterative improvement. Create and maintain clear product documentation, decisions, and async updates to support alignment across distributed teams. Mentor peers and cross-functional partners by modeling structured thinking, strong communication, and inclusive collaboration. Take on Technology Lead responsibilities for specific initiatives when needed, which may include data modeling, prototyping, coordinating engineering work, and managing delivery risks. Translate complex technical concepts between engineering teams and non-technical stakeholders, acting as a bridge for internal communication.
