Regular review and update of product performance metrics, using data to inform product strategy and development decisions
What experience you'll bring?
Minimum Qualifications/experience:
At least 3 years product management experience
At least 3 years cloud industry experience
Bachelor/Master of Information Systems, Business Administration or similar degree
The role requires a strategic thinker with a deep understanding of product and proposition development processes, and a customer-centric approach. The successful candidate will have a good experience in leveraging strategic partnerships, be comfortable with complexity and a great collaborator with a growth mindset.
Ability to identify growth opportunities within their area of focus while staying aligned with broader strategic priorities.
Skilled at engaging and aligning stakeholders to drive collective progress and outcomes
Experience with direct customers and sales team is a bonus to bring and uncover insights and shape direction and share roadmap
