  • Define and document a mid- and long-term vision for the product, in close alignment with key stakeholders across the organization, and based on data-driven insights
  • Support us in fostering a strong culture of innovation, enabling the team to develop and evaluate new product features with our customer base, and reconciling the high-level product vision with bottom-up innovation happening across the team
  • Help define processes and success metrics for coordinated product launches, provide guidance on consistent nomenclature for different stages/maturities of product features (e.g., preview/beta/GA), define and track success criteria and milestones for customer beta programs
