- Continuously validate assumptions post-launch through experimentation and analytics
Collaborate: Drive cross-functional success
- Create alignment across engineering, design, data, operations, marketing, and leadership teams
- Hold cross-functional partners accountable to delivery timelines and product outcomes
- Lead end-to-end discovery sessions and ideation workshops with senior stakeholders
- Communicate complex technical and strategic decisions with clarity to engineering and non-technical audiences
