Skills
About the Role
You will drive clarity through noise as the operational backbone of the Product organization. You will set and own the cadences and forums that form the pulse of the organization, including R&D reviews, leadership meetings, and company-wide all hands, while owning resource planning and budgets. You will sit in executive forums to understand what is being decided and make sure it gets done, cascading decisions through the organization and surfacing what the CPO needs to know before she asks. You will own the connective tissue on high-ambiguity, cross-functional projects such as acquisition integrations, new team onboarding, and high-coordination product rollouts. You will act as a sounding board for the leadership team, asking questions that lead to cleaner answers and having hard conversations when needed. You will be the voice of the product org across the company, partnering with PMM, Solutions Engineering, Sales, and Finance to make sure the product story is told internally.
