Leading efforts to define, size and scope optimization ideas—estimating business impact to inform prioritization

Documenting requirements (Lean Startup style) ensuring the cross‑functional team understands the problem to be solved, the alternative approaches considered and the path selected

Ensuring accurate tracking and reporting on all optimization initiatives in order to communicate the business impact from all initiatives

Working cross‑functionally with product, design, engineering, marketing, analytics, operations, customer support, finance leaders and team members; gathering input and ideas for the best, most timely results

Regularly communicating progress, obstacles and learnings both within the working team and to the Hightail team at large
