• Ability to manage a high volume of incoming requests, establish clear operational triage frameworks, and comfortably manage stakeholder expectations.
• A solid understanding of how product analytics and reporting structures operate (e.g., data flows, modeling, or visualization tools) to effectively translate technical needs, though hands‑on coding/modeling is not required.
• Deep understanding of modern development methodologies (e.g., Agile, SAFe) and the product lifecycle in a SaaS context.
