Your expertise will be pivotal in evolving an existing application, ensuring it meets diverse needs and achieves measurable success, all while fostering collaboration and innovation.

This role is at the intersection of strategy, technology, and user experience. You will be instrumental in expanding an existing digital application, tailoring it to new user segments with unique requirements and success metrics.

• Collaborate with development captains (Data Science and Engineering) to translate product strategy into detailed specifications, making functional and user interface design tradeoffs where necessary.
• Oversee the rollout and launch of the application, including testing, training, and communications.
• Monitor and share product performance post-launch, along with proposed engagement tactics and continued development to increase adoption, utilization, financial impact, and efficiency.
• Interface directly with users to gather feedback, understand needs, build trust, and resolve utilization issues or challenges.
