In certain product areas or initiatives, the Product Manager may also need to operate more tactically and work directly with cross-functional teams to help move priorities forward.The Product Manager is a key voice to executive leadership, Sales, Customer Success, and Marketing, ensuring the product line's direction is understood, prioritized correctly, and aligned to company strategy.

• Partner with Product Owners to translate roadmap priorities into epics and initiatives, providing strategic context so they can own execution and delivery
• Engage directly with customers, prospects, Sales, Customer Success, and Marketing to gather input and align go-to-market plans with product direction
