- Define, measure, and prioritize product outcomes; identify & scope features to drive those outcomes.
- Make product decisions, big and small, based on user and market research, and business considerations including ROI estimates, technical feasibility, and usability; continuously test assumptions with limited data.
- Drive day-to-day product development, generate, facilitate, and curate ideas to improve product usability, whilst collaborating with design and engineering teammates.
- Contribute to fostering a culture of an ‘empowered’, continuously improving product team with product managers, designers, and engineers.
- Evangelize software products with users and culture throughout the organization.
- Work with stakeholders across business development, project analysis, marketing, operations, and engineering to increase Scale’s competitive advantage and execution ability.
