3+ years of experience leading, managing, or formally coaching Product Managers, with demonstrated ability to raise product-management capability and develop strong product leaders

Demonstrated ability to lead complex cross-functional initiatives spanning multiple systems, business functions, and technical teams
Experience with enterprise platforms and business processes across areas such as Finance, Sales/GTM, HR/People, billing, monetization, data, or automation

Strong analytical skills and a data-driven approach to prioritization, product health, and investment decisions
Experience operating in environments where reliability, security, compliance, data integrity, and operational continuity are important product considerations
Ability to operate effectively across both strategy and execution, moving from long-term portfolio direction to detailed product or system discussions when needed
Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to communicate complex technical and business concepts clearly to senior leadership
Demonstrated ability to influence across organizational boundaries, navigate competing priorities, and create clarity in ambiguous environments
