• Collaborate closely with engineering and UX/UI design in an agile environment to ensure the timely and successful delivery of high-quality, user-centric solutions.
• Manage the entire product lifecycle, from initial concept and discovery through development, launch, and post-launch iteration.
• Partner with marketing, sales, and customer success to develop and execute effective go-to-market strategies, including pricing, positioning, and sales enablement.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration:
• Act as the primary bridge between technical teams and business stakeholders, effectively communicating product plans, technical trade-offs, and project status.
• Engage directly with customers to gather feedback, validate product concepts, and build a community of advocates.
• Support the sales and customer success teams as the go-to product expert on customer calls, in product demonstrations, and for regulatory inquiries.
