- Employ problem-first thinking: Lead with a clear definition of the problem before considering solutions. Use qualitative and quantitative methods to uncover root causes of user pain, validate assumptions, and ensure proposed features address the underlying need.
- Champion customer needs: Through continuous, extensive direct customer engagement and market research, develop an evidence-based view of user pain points, behaviors, and use cases that shape long-term product direction and inform major product investments.
- Product Strategy
- Understand & influence strategy: Collaborate closely with the Director of Product to understand and in some places, inform the overarching product strategy.

- Manage projects cross-functionally: Rally cross-functional teams around shared goals and timelines. Serve as the “quarterback” who drives alignment, anticipates challenges, defines cross-functional milestones, and makes sure they are met across engineering, QA, content operations, marketing, and other functions as necessary.
