• Act as primary liaison between business and technology, and wider stakeholders as required, including reporting and wider updates
• Plan, execute, and analyze A/B tests and other experiments to validate product hypotheses and optimize conversions, onboarding, retention, and monetization.
• Maintains high level knowledge of all product initiatives and communicates deadline changes to leadership in coordination with other teams within the company
• Oversees all stages of product creation including design and development
• Mitigates roadblocks to achieve sprint/release goals
