• Knowledge Management: ensure our internal documentation is organized and accessible, serving as a reliable source of truth for "how we work."

• Cross-Functional Alignment

• GTM Partnership: Partner with GTM (Go-To-Market) teams to ensure that R&D provides the necessary inputs and visibility to support successful product launches and updates.

• Feedback Loops: Collaborate with customer-facing teams to oversee the process of how market feedback is ingested, organized, and reviewed by the Product team.

• Stakeholder Communication: Act as a bridge between R&D and the broader organization, helping to clarify timelines, dependencies, and status updates.

• Tool Stack Management

Tool Optimization: Manage the configuration and administration of our Product tool stack, ensuring it supports our workflows and evolves as the team grows.
