About the Role

- Some are category leaders and/or leverage the latest tech trends.
- You’ll be driving complex cross-functional initiatives in B2C or B2B products.

- Prioritize, zoom in and out.
- Make an incredible impact, bring clarity in chaos, and orchestrate flawless execution.

- You understand how deep or wide you need to go when that’s the case and when it’s not.
- Effectively manage various groups consisting of strong personalities.
- Adapt to their communication preferences.
- Integrate quickly and feel part of any team in days, not weeks.
- People love working with you and would work with you again despite you saying “no” to them a lot.
- Always come off as friendly, helpful, and accommodating, even when pushing back on irrational demands.
- Communicate a compelling narrative about the product.
- And each existing or potential feature/capability you manage: “What job/problem does it solve?”, “For whom?”, “How big is the problem/market?”, “What is success?” and why solving this matters in the first place.
- Understand, share, and shape strategic or business context with the client’s CPO/VP/Director/Head of Product.
