  • Metrics and performance tracking: Define and monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) to assess project progress, identify areas for improvement, and ensure quality standards are met. 

  • Communication and Leadership: Articulate technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences, along with the ability to lead and influence cross-functional teams.

  • Problem-solving: Identify and troubleshoot technical issues, analyze root causes, and develop effective solutions to complex challenges.

Qualifications

  • Strong track record of managing complex cross-functional projects

  • Experience building strong working relationships with senior leaders and engineers across functions and departments

  • Experience keeping the big picture in focus and to provide clear, well-structured, and concise communications tailored to each appropriate audience

  • Relevant experience shipping features into a live production environment

What Makes You Stand Out
