• Create clarity in ambiguous areas by aligning stakeholders on the why, defining what good looks like, and driving decisions forward
• Partner with engineering/IT and delivery leaders to translate validated problems into product requirements, sequencing, and delivery plans
• Own backlog prioritization and tradeoffs; keep teams focused on outcomes rather than output volume

• Manage product operating rhythms: quarterly planning, roadmap reviews, progress reporting, and stakeholder updates
• Own investment and value conversations for your product area, including benefit sizing, tradeoffs, and sequencing
