Key Responsibilities

• Lead Full Product Lifecycle : Guide products from conception and design to development, launch, and beyond. You develop the product vision, define its strategy and maintain the product roadmap, balancing customer needs with business goals.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration : Work closely with UI/UX, Engineering, Marketing, Operations, and other teams (and external partners/vendors when needed) to turn product ideas into reality. You ensure alignment across departments and a smooth, coordinated product development process with other PMs.

• On-Time, On-Budget Delivery : Oversee day-to-day progress of product initiatives and remove roadblocks. Proactively resolve any technical feasibility or design issues that arise, keeping projects on schedule and within budget.

• Team Partnership : For your products, you are responsible for little but accountable for all. You collaborate with a small product team. You provide the vision, and the PA works with engineering to determine when and how to execute on that vision. Set clear goals, delegate tasks, and provide guidance and feedback. Foster a collaborative, high-performance team culture in line with our company’s values.

• Stakeholder Communication : Act as the champion for your product internally. Regularly share updates, product visions, roadmaps, and results with senior leadership and other stakeholders.
