Responsibilities

Build and own the business case for major initiatives — cost, expected value, adoption assumptions, and success criteria — and present it to executive stakeholders for investment decisions.
Identify market and customer trends that should shift roadmap priorities, and make the call on trade-offs between new capability, technical debt, and compliance work.
Prioritize and groom the product backlog using a consistent framework (e.g., RICE, WSJF, MoSCoW), ensuring it reflects the approved roadmap and business case.
Translate strategy, business goals, and customer needs into clear, build-ready user stories, acceptance criteria, and definition of done.
Maintain backlog hygiene — ensure items are appropriately sized, sequenced, and free of ambiguity before entering a sprint.
Serve as the voice of the customer and the business; represent user and market needs in all planning, design, and prioritization conversations.
Align commercial stakeholders (Sales, Customer Success, Finance) and delivery stakeholders (Engineering, Design, QA, Operations) around a shared roadmap and set of trade-offs.
Report roadmap progress, business impact, and key decisions to the Head of Core Products and SVP, Core Products on a regular cadence.
Coordinate release scope and stakeholder communication across time zones, including with offshore/nearshore delivery pods where applicable.
Partner with the Tech Lead and Architect on feasibility, technical sequencing, and release planning.
Participate in and help run Agile ceremonies — sprint planning, backlog refinement, sprint review, and retrospectives.
Own the full AI-SDLC product lifecycle (BOLT lifecycle, Units, Intents) for all features moving through the pipeline.
Coordinate go-to-market and launch readiness with Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success for major releases.
Track and report on adoption, revenue/retention impact, release predictability, and progress against committed OKRs.
Use customer feedback and usage data to validate business case assumptions and inform roadmap re-prioritization.
Partner with the Product Operations Manager to ensure the roadmap and backlog reflect real operational workflows rather than isolated feature requests.
