• Partner closely with engineering teams throughout discovery, architecture, development, testing, and launch.
• Define and prioritize features based on customer impact, business value, technical complexity, and marketplace dynamics.
• Build products that improve supply, demand, liquidity, matching, discovery, conversion, retention, and transaction volume.
• Work with data and analytics teams to define KPIs, instrumentation, dashboards, and experimentation frameworks.
