  • AI Adoption: Drive smart adoption of AI tools/agents to improve Product’s confidence in the value add of new features and to automate workflows.
  • Workflow Configuration: Build and maintain standardized approaches to roadmaps, workflows, and automations to ensure all Domain teams (Field, HQ, CorpTech) operate with consistent visibility.
  • Troubleshooting: Serve as the first line of support for PMs facing technical blockers with internal tools.

  • Data Integrity: Audit analytics tools (e.g., Matomo) to ensure new features are launched with correct event tracking. Flag data quality issues to Engineering.
  • Reporting: Own comprehensive reporting, surfacing critical insights on Product impact (e.g., BVMs) and processes (e.g., Roadmap Hygiene) to track progress against targets.

Process Enablement & Logistics (30%)

  • KPI Tracking: Assist the Dir. of Product with capturing and sharing Product team KPIs, working with Product Managers to ensure accuracy and help drive overall team performance towards targets
  • Onboarding: Lead the technical onboarding for new Product hires, ensuring they are trained on our specific templates, tool stack, and "Way of Working."

Career Growth and Development

  • We have a strong culture of constant learning and we invest in developing our people. You’ll have weekly check-ins with your manager, access to mentorship and training programs, and regular feedback on your performance. We hold career reviews every six months, and set aside time to discuss your aspirations and career goals. You’ll have the opportunity to shape a growing organization and build a rewarding long-term career.
