  • Stay close to business needs, user feedback, and the engineering roadmap to spot and develop new opportunities
  • Mentor other product managers and team members, helping raise the bar on product management practice across the team
  • Use AI tools throughout the product development lifecycle — synthesizing feedback, drafting lightweight specs, and rapid prototyping with engineering and design
