• Translate business requirements into product features and technical specifications. Partner closely with engineering teams and delivery squads to implement high-value solutions : act as the ‘voice of the client’ guiding day-to-day design and implementation decisions, managing technical and business risks and trade-offs, and resolving complex technical challenges while optimizing business value.
• Deliver ongoing and measurable improvements to GAM’s self-serve data capabilities and consumption patterns. Establish key OKRs and metrics to understand current utilization patterns, guide ongoing feature development and prioritization, and evaluate ongoing success.
• Communicate product strategy and roadmap, progress on development of new features development, and release plans. Ensure appropriate documentation and governance requirements are adhered to. Support user adoption, training, and change management.

• Very strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with a keen eye for detail and a passion for driving continuous improvement. Exceptional ability to quickly identify the key success criteria relevant to solving a particular business or technical problem.
• A result-oriented mindset, with the discipline to build operationally robust products, the courage to drive innovation to support new business areas and processes, and the resilience and perseverance to ‘fail forward’ towards success.
• Demonstrated success in applying agile best-practices to frame problems and prioritize key outcomes; hypothesize, iterate, and continuously improve on solutions; and continuously deliver incremental value to end-users and key stakeholders.
