- Transform workflows by putting AI at the center, building smarter systems and ways of working from the ground up.
- Collaborate cross‑functionally with Engineering, Design, and GTM to identify friction, remove barriers, and deliver customer experiences that scale.
- Define and instrument funnel metrics (e.g., sign‑up → activated → retained → paid), run rigorous A/B and multi‑variate tests, and use cohort analysis to guide prioritization.
- Translate strategy into clear quarterly roadmaps and PRDs; maintain an opportunity backlog aligned to outcomes; communicate tradeoffs and timelines with clarity.
- Use experimentation to identify opportunities, validate hypotheses, and measure progress—balancing speed with impact.
- Inspire, mentor, and develop a high‑performing PM team that thinks strategically, executes with precision, and cares deeply about customer experience.
