• Combine deep technical knowledge with the ability to communicate complex concepts to diverse stakeholders, balancing technical depth with strategic insight.
• Are energized by complexity and ambiguity, and skilled at distilling it into clear plans and confident decisions.
• Are comfortable in cross-functional environments, influencing both internal product strategy and external customer outcomes to ensure the success of both.
