  •  6–8+ years in product management, including independent ownership of a product line. 

  • History of setting vision and multi-quarter roadmaps, influencing senior stakeholders, and delivering material business outcomes. 

  • Experience establishing operating mechanisms and quality/compliance guardrails and leading high-visibility launches.  

 

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities: 

  • Systems and portfolio thinking: defines product vision and multi-quarter roadmap; aligns investments to outcomes and adjacent areas. 

  • Executive communication and influence: frames trade-offs and decisions; secures resources and cross-org alignment. 

  • Metrics and modeling: sets KPIs/OKRs; models impact/ROI; course-corrects based on performance and risk. 

  • Technical and architectural fluency: engages on architecture, scalability, reliability, security, and compliance guardrails.

  • Coaching and bar-raising: mentors PMs; reviews roadmaps/PRDs; elevates product craft, measurement, and stakeholder management.
