    • Stay abreast of evolving market and customer needs to guide product strategy and roadmap decisions.
    • Partner with Product Managers, Engineering Managers, QA, and DevOps to build the context and confidence to prioritize user stories, bugs, security issues, tech debt, and other key items on the scrum teams.
    • Attend agile scrum ceremonies representing the voice of the customer as the lead Product Manager for the team.
    • Assist Scrum Masters, Marketing, and Product Support w/ translating technical details for tech and non-tech audiences (e.g., release notes, KB updates, training, etc.).
    • Partner with Product Marketing, Sales, and Partner Success teams to effectively launch new products and features to market.
    • Manage and coach a small team of Associate Product Managers.
    • Occasional domestic travel required for in-person team, department, and company meetings.

    • Exemplary communication skills with technical audiences, customers and users, and executives.
    • Proven ability to step back and see the whole ecosystem and provide solutions that impact the entire user flow, not only discrete features.
