Analyze the impact of the activities and refine them as needed to create an environment of continuous learning and iteration across the organization.

• Drive excellence in experience and execution across the platform portfolio in partnership with design and product marketing.

• Bring a combination of critical thinking and pragmatic delivery to yield the best short-term and long-term results through defined product requirement, prioritized features and competitive landscape.
