You will define and track metrics, use analytics and customer feedback to guide decisions, and report on progress and outcomes. You will also align stakeholders, contribute to quarterly planning linked to company OKRs, represent product in customer and business settings, and assist Product Leadership with product vision and strategy for property estimating software solutions.
