• Lead product discovery efforts to identify user needs and translate business goals into product features with high impact and adoption.

• Define and manage product roadmaps, backlogs, and success metrics in close alignment with key stakeholders and users.

• Translate requirements into clear, actionable user stories and partner with engineering and design teams to ensure timely and high-quality delivery.

• Foster close collaboration between business, engineering, and design teams to continuously improve the product experience.

• Utilize agile delivery practices, ensuring frequent releases and feedback loops are embedded in the development process.

• Analyze usage data, conduct user research, and iterate based on insights to drive continuous product improvement.

• Champion a user-first approach while ensuring AI solutions align with business objectives and compliance standards.

• Own the product lifecycle from inception to scale, including enablement, training, and change management.

• Stay informed on B2B commerce, AI, and enterprise SaaS trends to ensure our platforms remain innovative and competitive.

• Support additional responsibilities and strategic projects as needed.

• Experience applying agile, lean, or dual-track product methodologies to manage delivery and innovation in parallel.

• Strong business acumen and a track record of driving measurable outcomes in customer experience, sales, or operational efficiency.

• Outstanding problem-solving and analytical skills; thrives in dynamic, fast-paced environments.

• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to translate between technical and non-technical audiences.
