• Establish evidence-based stage gates for advancing, changing, scaling, or discontinuing innovation investments.
• Partner with Go-to-Market teams on positioning, pricing, packaging, launches, and early commercial traction, owning the path from concept to measurable revenue and adoption.
• Serve as the senior product leader for the technical dimension of the organization’s strategic technology ecosystem relationship, representing the business in technical, platform, and roadmap discussions.
• Monitor changes to platform architecture, APIs, developer frameworks, marketplaces, security requirements, and the broader technology ecosystem.
• Translate ecosystem changes into product opportunities, competitive differentiation, readiness plans, and risk mitigation strategies.
• Lead, develop, recruit, and retain a high-performing team of product managers and product leaders while building a strong leadership and succession pipeline.
• Establish an effective operating cadence for planning, decision-making, performance management, and cross-functional alignment.
• Communicate product strategy, progress, risks, decisions, and outcomes effectively across executive, technical, and business audiences.

• Commercial ownership of a significant software portfolio, including P&L, revenue, or comparable business accountability.
• Experience owning or contributing to strategic technology platform or partner relationships.
• Strong executive judgment, strategic thinking, and communication skills, with the ability to create alignment amid ambiguity, competing priorities, and complex tradeoffs.
