  • Ensure smooth rollout and post-release evaluation of new features or enhancements.

Performance & Continuous Improvement

  • Monitor product performance against KPIs and leverage insights to inform iteration.
  • Partner with Analytics and Operations to evaluate product impact and optimize user experience.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of product processes, documentation, and collaboration practices.

What Success Looks Like

  • Clear, data-informed product roadmaps and priorities aligned to business strategy.
  • Timely delivery of features that improve customer engagement and operational efficiency.
  • Strong collaboration between Product, Engineering, and Design teams.
  • Measurable growth in product performance through iteration and experimentation.

Skills & Qualifications

  • 4+ years of experience as a Product Manager, Product Owner, Business Analyst, or similar role in a tech-driven organization.
  • Proven experience owning the end-to-end product lifecycle -from discovery through delivery.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; comfortable working with data to drive decisions.
  • Familiarity with Agile/Scrum methodologies and tools such as Jira and Confluence.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
  • Experience collaborating with design, engineering, and operations teams to deliver products at scale.
  • Understanding of APIs, integrations, and technical constraints is advantageous.
  • Degree in Business, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).

You’ll Thrive in This Role If You…

  • Are passionate about solving meaningful customer problems through technology.
  • Can balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution.

  • Are data-driven but equally attuned to user experience.
