Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Act as the main product point of contact for engineering and make informed trade-off decisions during development.
• Keep internal stakeholders updated on timelines, progress, and changing priorities.
• Collaborate with design to ensure the user experience supports product objectives and brand expectations.
