• Lead client interactions from initial discussions and onboarding through ongoing account management, building relationships that support long-term partnerships.
• Translate client needs, business objectives, and user feedback into clear product requirements and actionable priorities for development teams.
• Collaborate with engineers and AI-assisted tools to define solutions, clarify requirements, and support effective product delivery.
• Build prototypes and contribute to product strategy, helping stakeholders visualize solutions and align around product direction.

• Develop strong, trusted relationships that contribute to retention, account growth, and referrals.
• Collect, evaluate, and prioritize feedback from clients, users, internal stakeholders, and market signals to continuously improve the product roadmap.
• Bridge technical and non-technical stakeholders, ensuring product priorities and business objectives remain aligned throughout the development process.

• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to explain complex product concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Native or near-native proficiency in spoken and written English.
