• Creating and maintaining the roadmap of department features to be released
• Monitoring and taking responsibility for the health of products in the Data and Intelligence portfolio
• Communicating features clearly in writing as well as verbally, erring on the side of clarity
• Collaborating closely with Engineering, QA and Operations teams
• Working with QA continuously to enhance the type and coverage of platform validation
• Collaborating with Engineering on their feedback on feature scoping and development capacity
• Working with the Operations team to ensure new features can be managed and configured
• Collaborating with stakeholders on product development, and lead the conversation in product trade-offs among stakeholders

• Experience writing detailed product and technical specifications
• Capable of working with engineers about technical design trade-offs including platforms, frameworks, scalability, and performance
• Excellent presentation skills in small and large groups
• Boldness because building a vision and seeing it past the finish line is more like running a marathon, instead of 5K
• Collaboration because that’s the only way things get done
• Honesty because we function better as individuals and groups when we are on the same page
• Humility because you know that there is more to learn and change is sometimes more important than staying on our current path
• Patience because you understand that step A, B and C need to come before step D
• Creativity because we might be able to eliminate step B if step D is simplified

BONUS POINTS
