Product Information and Tooling
- Own the strategy and execution for consolidating product strategies, roadmaps, and execution data from disparate sources into a single system of record.
- Implement and optimize the tools and integrations required to build this consolidated system, with a focus on AI enabled solutions that reduce manual effort and improve data quality.
- Define the standards and governance that ensure data quality, adoption, and ongoing maintenance of the product information system across teams.
AI Enablement

- Foster a team culture of ownership, transparency, and continuous improvement aligned with the Product organization's behavioral standards.
You need to have:
- 10 or more years of relevant experience in product operations, product delivery, or a related function, preferably with experience working closely with software engineering teams and across the full product life cycle.
- 7 or more years of supervisory or team leadership experience, with demonstrated ability to lead and develop others.
- Bachelor's degree in business, engineering, computer science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Demonstrated ability to design and implement operational frameworks that improve the consistency and efficiency of product development across organizations with multiple teams or products.

- Demonstrated experience developing and executing an AI or automation enablement strategy in an operational context, including tool evaluation, adoption planning, and impact measurement.
- Proven ability to influence senior stakeholders and align cross functional teams around shared operating practices and data standards.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with experience using data to surface insights, communicate status, and support executive decision making.
- Experience working in collaborative, cross functional environments where alignment must be built across functions rather than directed from above.
