• You are comfortable owning API and contracts alongside user‑facing functionality. You understand and can articulate what usability means for both.
• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative approach to stakeholder engagement.
• You communicate clearly across engineering, executives, and go‑to‑market, and you can hold a product vision without losing sight of what ships next quarter.
• You understand how a scaled product organization works together, where the output of other teams is your input and your teams output influences their team roadmaps.
• Passion for leading and mentoring high‑performance teams.
• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in a relevant field.
