- Own successful delivery of large, impactful, and highly cross-functional program initiatives while simultaneously tracking a set of smaller projects

- Lead and contribute to weekly, monthly and quarterly business reviews, able to create, maintain and disseminate clear and concise program updates to stakeholders across multiple organizations

- Anticipate bottlenecks, provide escalation management, anticipate and make tradeoffs, and balance business needs with technical constraints

- Collaborate with business stakeholders to develop program and product requirements

A day in the life

You will work with product and partner stakeholders to define customer facing features. You'll manage feature delivery from end to end by guiding product, engineering, QA and partners. You'll dive into customer experience, requirements, engineering plans. You'll guide the product, engineering, science and operations teams to develop experiences at the edge, in the cloud, and integrate them into consumer services.
