valuable, and fit for purpose. Roll out improvements thoughtfully, with a strong change management mindset and
a bias toward progress over perfection.

Engineering, Design, Compliance, Operations, Marketing, and other stakeholders, ensuring teams are working
effectively toward common goals.
• Team development: Work closely with the CPO and Product leadership to support onboarding, training,
documentation, and repeatable ways of working that help members of the Product Organization perform at a high
level within our product model
