• Market & Competitive Analysis: Conduct thorough market research and competitive analysis to identify trends, emerging technologies, and competitive threats, informing product decisions.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate effectively with engineering, design, sales, marketing, and customer success teams to ensure successful product delivery and adoption.
• Technical Acumen: Dive deep into technical details, understand system architecture, and engage in technical discussions with engineering to ensure feasible and scalable solutions.
