Own end-to-end product outcomes for core Messaging surfaces, from discovery to launch and iteration.
Prototype, validate, and ship new messaging experiences that make it easier to focus, prioritize, and take action-- especially in an AI-augmented world.
Use a tight feedback loop of user research, metrics, and experimentation to inform sharp product decisions and kill ideas that don’t deliver impact.
Inspire and align executives, cross-functional partners, and adjacent product teams with clear narratives, crisp writing, and strong product judgment.
Partner closely with teams including Engineering, Design, Data Science, UX Research, and other Product Managers to move fast at scale without sacrificing quality, reliability, or trust.
