• Elevate the productivity and performance of your team through mentorship and coaching
• Champion processes and initiatives that make the product organization better

• You have an ability to work cross-functionally across departments to prioritize and build products that delight customers, and deliver on company goals
• You have a strong analytical orientation with a focus on data-driven analytics and the ability to measure business impact
