• Strong ability to define product strategy, roadmaps, and success metrics with a metrics-informed approach, including defining economy health metrics, running experiments, and using data to guide prioritization and iteration.
• Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams without direct authority, including close collaboration with engineering teams using modern development workflows and tooling such as GitHub.

• Lead cross-functional prioritization and coordination across product, engineering, design, data, support, operations, marketing, and QA to deliver scalable, resilient economy features in our live, persistent, user-generated environment.
• Partner closely with Engineering to balance feature development with technical constraints and platform stability, applying a metrics-informed approach to evaluate economic health including sources and sinks, pricing, fraud risk, and impact on both residents and creators.
• Incorporate qualitative and quantitative user feedback into economic decisions, ensuring high-quality delivery through disciplined planning, testing, and risk management while balancing user trust, fairness, and long-term engagement with monetization goals.
• Shape how real people build livelihoods, express themselves, and create meaning in a thriving global community through your product decisions.
