- Work closely with customer-facing and go-to-market teams to ensure new Custom Block features drive adoption and creator delight and success.
- Own Outcomes and Storytelling
- Define success metrics, track usage, engagement, and learning outcomes to measure impact.
- Communicate roadmap progress and product vision clearly to internal and external stakeholders.
- Enable True Customization & Interactivity
