- Coordinate with capability PMs to translate roadmap constraints into externally consumable API products.
- Own the commercial model for the marketplace: platform vs. variable fee decisions, take rate structure per capability, enterprise packaging, and the custom deals framework for large partners.
- Build the developer and partner experience from scratch: API specifications, onboarding flows, documentation standards, sandbox environments, and integration tooling.
- Use AI tools and rapid prototyping to test ideas quickly (mock APIs, partner portals, pricing/ranking simulations).
- Establish the go-to-market motion: identify partners, sequence launches, and define successful commercial rollout.
- Own the marketplace revenue P&L: model and track GBV, take rate, and per-capability unit economics with Finance.
