Ensure workflows are data‑driven and AI‑ready where appropriate, without introducing unnecessary complexity or risk. Portfolio & Product Leadership Oversee a portfolio of workflow products, ensuring alignment between roadmaps, delivery capacity, and Operations priorities. Review and challenge product strategies, roadmaps, and backlogs to maintain focus on outcomes over outputs. Act as an escalation point for delivery risks, dependencies, and cross‑team tradeoffs. People Leadership & Talent Development Build, lead, and develop a high‑performing team of Product Owners and Product Managers. Set clear expectations for ownership, execution quality, and product thinking; coach leaders on delivery discipline and stakeholder management. Provide ongoing feedback, performance management, and career development. Foster a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and learning — especially around automation and responsible AI.
