• Lead end-to-end engagements, from discovery and framing through to product vision, roadmap, and implementation planning.
• Drive innovation by aligning product solutions with strategic objectives—balancing user needs, business goals, and technical feasibility.
• Serve as a trusted advisor to clients, helping them navigate complex product and technology challenges.
• Influence the adoption of product and engineering best practices that support scalability, sustainability, and measurable impact.
• Mentor product managers and other team members, shaping a culture of continuous learning and professional growth.
• Represent the organization in cross-agency forums, communities of practice, or thought leadership events.

• Proven ability to deliver impact in both greenfield and brownfield environments.
• Strong systems thinking and the ability to connect business strategy to product execution.
• Deep understanding of agile methodologies, product discovery, user research, and iterative delivery.
• Excellent facilitation and communication skills—able to engage confidently with C-level stakeholders and frontline teams alike.
• Strong influence and collaboration skills, with experience working across organizational boundaries.
