- Conduct user testing, gather feedback, and iterate rapidly on product features based on qualitative and quantitative data
- Leverage AI tools for product research, rapid prototyping, competitive analysis, and persona development
Data-Driven Decision Making
- Define and track key product metrics (acquisition, engagement, retention, revenue) that demonstrate product-market fit and business impact
- Analyze user behavior data, A/B test results, and market trends to inform product iterations and strategic pivots
- Build dashboards and reporting mechanisms that provide visibility into product health and team performance
- Use quantitative insights combined with qualitative user research to validate hypotheses and drive continuous improvement

- Proven track record building strong client relationships, managing expectations, and delivering products that achieve business objectives
- Exceptional ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and articulate product vision compellingly
- Track record shipping successful products from 0-to-1 and iterating based on user feedback and market dynamics
- Demonstrated ability to use AI tools effectively as a product manager—you understand both capabilities and limitations
