- This position is not limited to product development-it requires high-level strategy, stakeholder management, and a customer-centric mindset.
- It is not a siloed role-cross-functional collaboration is at the core of this position, requiring constant interaction with multiple departments.
- This is not a role for task managers-the ideal candidate is expected to lead, inspire, and strategically drive innovation, not just manage day-to-day tasks.
