Responsibilities
- Lead the end-to-end execution of the company’s highest-priority product programs, from initial alignment through launch, rollout, and post-launch follow-through.

- Own the annual, half-year, and quarterly product planning cadence in partnership with Product, Design, and Engineering leadership.
- Maintain a coherent, current view of the product roadmap across teams, including company priorities, major commitments, capacity constraints, sequencing, and cross-team dependencies.
- Create effective forums for strategy reviews, roadmap decisions, launch reviews, executive updates, and retrospectives.
