. Ability to navigate ambiguity, connect complex dependencies, and bring structure and clarity to challenging product problems.
. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a data-informed approach to product decisions.
. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including experience communicating recommendations, business outcomes, and tradeoffs to senior stakeholders.
