• Strong product judgment and strategic thinking, with the ability to navigate ambiguity, evaluate tradeoffs, and translate business objectives into actionable product priorities.
• Strong analytical skills and experience using customer research, product metrics, and experimentation to inform decisions.
• Technical fluency across APIs, integrations, system architecture, data flows, and engineering tradeoffs.

• An AI-native approach to Product Management, using AI, automation, and modern tools to improve problem-solving, decision-making, productivity, and outcomes.
