+ Define and oversee platform performance metrics, including resiliency, system performance and uptime, and architectural improvements to create redundancy and systems that never fail.
+ Stay up to date with industry trends and technologies to advise product strategy and ensure the product portfolio remains competitive.
+ Facilitate release planning, demos with stakeholders and other Agile practices on an operational basis.
+ Collaborate with cross-functional teams and global markets including engineering, design, marketing, operations, and customer support, to ensure smooth execution of product initiatives.
+ Develop a collaborative environment and build strong relationships with team members to align product goals and achieve business objectives.
