• Communicate roadmap priorities, business value, tradeoffs, and product progress to senior leadership and cross‑functional stakeholders.
• Define and track product success metrics, including adoption, engagement, performance, and conversion impact.
• Write clear, actionable user stories with detailed acceptance criteria, edge cases, performance considerations, and technical constraints.
• Break down complex product experiences into incremental, shippable features and releases.
• Partner closely with engineering teams to clarify requirements, evaluate technical tradeoffs, and reduce ambiguity and rework.
• Create high‑level user flows, including entry points, decision points, feedback loops, and error or edge‑state handling.
• Collaborate closely with UX and design teams to deliver intuitive, high‑quality interactive experiences.
• Manage multiple product initiatives and workstreams simultaneously in a fast‑paced environment.
• Partner with engineering teams working on interactive and visualization technologies, including WebGL‑based experiences.
• Evaluate visualization experiences with consideration for usability, performance, fidelity, speed, camera controls, lighting, materials, and configuration logic.
• Coordinate product releases, including rollout planning, release notes, stakeholder enablement materials, and product demonstrations.
• Ensure internal stakeholders understand what is being delivered, why it matters, and how product success will be measured.
• Identify opportunities to leverage AI and emerging technologies to improve customer experiences, simplify decision‑making, and reduce cognitive load.
• Collaborate with engineering and design teams to explore practical AI‑powered product experiences.

Required Qualifications

• Approximately 5 years of Product Management experience, ideally owning complex digital or interactive products.
• Proven experience owning product roadmaps and driving products from vision through execution and release.
• Strong experience writing user stories, acceptance criteria, functional requirements, and product documentation.
• Demonstrated ability to break complex experiences into incremental, deliverable product features.
• Strong UX and user‑flow thinking, with the ability to define high‑level interaction flows independently.
• Experience partnering closely with engineering‑heavy teams and navigating technical constraints and tradeoffs.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, including experience presenting roadmaps and product progress to senior leadership.
• Experience coordinating product releases and creating release communications, enablement materials, or demonstrations.
• Strong analytical skills and experience defining and tracking product success metrics.
• Ability to manage multiple initiatives and priorities in a fast‑paced environment.
• Experience with 3D visualization, interactive visual tools, 3D configurators, AR/VR, CAD‑adjacent products, or similar technologies.
• Working understanding of 3D visualization concepts such as performance, fidelity, camera controls, lighting, materials, and configuration logic.
• Practical interest in AI and its application to customer‑facing product experiences.
