Execution & Delivery: Ensure that products and features can be delivered with high quality and speed including after initial launch and/or for change orders.

Manage Customer Support: Track issues, tickets, and resolutions including escalation to engineering and leadership as needed.

Program Management Methodology: Proven track record of taking products and programs from concept to launch using frameworks and Agile practices.

Data and Metrics Orientation: You live in the details of operational KPIs and use data to address client / system pain points to drive product adoption and business decisions.

Communication Skills: Exceptional written and verbal skills, with the ability to articulate technical concepts to both engineers and C-suite stakeholders.

Mindset: A curiosity-driven "builder" mentality with comfort in fast-moving, ambiguous environments.
