• Product Management Experience: 5+ years in a software product role, ideally with exposure to platform, infrastructure, or technical teams.
• Communication Skills: Exceptional ability to translate technical concepts into clear, actionable communication for technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Technical Fluency: Familiarity with cloud-native platforms (e.g., Kubernetes/EKS), APIs, databases, and data pipelines. Ability to understand and explain how infrastructure decisions impact product functionality.
