Skills

Required

  • 7+ years of product management experience for enterprise Collaboration & Productivity applications (e.g. Google Workspace, Slack, Jira, Confluence) at a global organization.
  • Experience operating at both the strategic level (vision, roadmaps, KPIs, change management) and the tactical level (data analysis, problem-solving, hands-on execution).
  • Strong technical-business fluency, with experience building cross-functional relationships across engineering, IT and business teams to define and deliver on shared objectives.
  • Hands-on use of AI to improve speed and quality in real business workflows, with critical evaluation of AI-assisted work (testing, source-checking, data validation) and the integrity to protect sensitive data, avoid over-reliance and remain accountable for final decisions and deliverables.
  • Excellent communicator across technical and non-technical audiences, including VP- and executive-level stakeholders — able to simplify complexity, navigate ambiguity and build a compelling narrative.
  • Outcome orientation: experience translating business needs into technology solutions (gap analyses, current/future-state processes) and delivering measurable impact on business KPIs.
  • Track record of working autonomously and influencing without authority — proactive on communication and prioritization, shaping decisions across teams, mentoring peers and raising the bar for product work around you.
