• Own, drive, and manage end to end product lifecycle including partnership and collaboration with multiple stakeholders to agree on priority and functional architecture, various product dependencies, client communication and commitments.
• Promote a smooth developer experience, ensuring platform services are intuitive, well-documented, and enable rapid development across product teams.
• Evaluate and integrate third-party tools and frameworks that enhance platform capabilities and reduce time-to-market.
• Mentor junior product managers and business analysts, fostering a culture of technical excellence, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
• Track and report on key platform metrics, ensuring transparency and accountability across initiatives.
