- Use insights from telemetry, qualitative feedback, and operational data to inform ongoing prioritization and continuous improvement
- Ensure internal tools meet regulatory, security, and risk requirements without compromising usability
Cross-functional & Executive Leadership- Influence decisions across technology, data, operations, risk, compliance, and servicing to ensure alignment and platform scalability
- Communicate roadmap, priorities, progress, and results clearly to senior and executive stakeholders
- Build strong, trust-based partnerships with operations leaders and other cross-functional executives
How Success Is Defined- Measurable improvements in operational performance (product cross-sell, average handle time reductions, higher quality assurance scores, fewer errors, improved agent satisfaction)
- A modernized internal toolset that simplifies workflows, reduces complexity, and enables growth
- Clear alignment between Operations strategy and product investments
- Strong, repeatable product discovery and evidence-based decision making
- Trusted leadership presence with engineering, operations, and executive teams
About You- 8+ years of product management experience; bachelor's degree in a related field; or equivalent work experience

- You proactively identify opportunities to improve products, processes, and team effectiveness while maintaining a strong focus on measurable outcomes
