- Drive incremental value delivery through experimentation, prototyping, and feedback loops; use data-informed decision-making to guide prioritization and roadmap adjustments
- Make timely decisions under uncertainty, balancing scope, schedule, resources, model performance, speed, and cost while removing blockers and resolving ambiguity
- Conduct or leverage market research, competitive benchmarking, and user feedback to inform product direction, including AI/ML and LLM capability trends
- Support internal communication and enablement through documentation, updates, and education that help teams and stakeholders understand AI functionality and responsible use
