  • Validate completed functionality against customer needs and defined acceptance criteria.
  • Coordinate release readiness, release communications, documentation, training, and post-release evaluation.

Product Discovery and Customer Understanding, 25%

  • Work directly with customers and internal subject-matter experts to understand component design, layout, engineering, and manufacturing workflows.
  • Identify customer pain points, unmet needs, workarounds, and opportunities for product improvement.
  • Partner with User Experience and Software Development to test assumptions, prototype potential solutions, and validate concepts before significant development begins.
  • Use customer interviews, workflow observation, market research, competitive analysis, product data, and technical input to determine which problems should be addressed.
  • Develop a strong understanding of how component design decisions affect engineering output, material use, production processes, and customer efficiency.

Product Leadership and Communication, 15%

  • Become the primary product expert and trusted point of contact for your software products.
  • Clearly communicate product direction, priorities, decisions, tradeoffs, progress, and upcoming capabilities to technical and nontechnical audiences.
  • Build alignment among customers, Engineering, UX, Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, Implementation, Support, and leadership.
