From there, your focus is to transform promising solutions into commercially successful products by defining product strategy, creating compelling market positioning, enabling sales, and driving customer adoption.

Experience

• 5+ years of experience in Product Management, Consulting, Innovation, Digital Transformation, or a related field.
• Experience bringing products, services, or digital solutions to market.
• Strong customer-facing and stakeholder management skills.
