Job Description:
- Take ownership of the product backlog and keep it in line with the company's goals, what customers need, and where the market is heading.

- Collect input from customers, internal teams, market trends, and competitors, and turn it into practical product decisions.
- Keep releases moving forward by making sure requirements are clear, dependencies are tracked, risks are handled, and timelines are met.
- Build strong relationships with customers and speak up for their needs, making sure their feedback actually shapes what gets built.
- Keep stakeholders and Product Managers in the loop with regular, straightforward updates on progress, risks, and decisions.
- Work with Professional Services, Sales, Support, Marketing, and Engineering to make sure new features and releases land well with users.

- Look for ways to make the product better — more useful, easier to use, and more valuable to customers.
- Help with demos, customer presentations, and onboarding to support adoption and engagement.
