- Define product requirements and product roadmaps, ensuring alignment with omni-first and global development goals.
- Work comfortably in Agile product teams, including sprint planning, backlog management, and iterative development.
- Champion ID-led and ID-less data workflows, ensuring products can flexibly support evolving privacy, identity, and platform conditions.

- Act as a mentor or informal lead for more junior team members, sharing knowledge and supporting skill development across the product, UX, and product marketing teams.
- Take initiative to improve team processes, documentation standards, and cross-functional collaboration.
- Conduct ongoing user research, competitor analysis and market reviews to inform prioritisation.
- Champion a user-centric approach by establishing and maintaining continuous feedback loops, gathering insights through user interviews, surveys, and performance data to inform prioritisation, and shape feature development, and ensure products deliver meaningful value to end users.
- Translate insights into clear, measurable feature recommendations that meet user needs and deliver commercial value.
- Lead GTM planning and execution for your products, working with product marketing and channel leads to develop user training, collateral and adoption strategies.
- Deliver internal onboarding, live demos, and agency enablement sessions to drive engagement and activation, supported by the wider Enablement community as appropriate.

- Write detailed user stories, epics, PRDs and maintain accurate documentation across all stages of the lifecycle.
- Ensure strong UX alignment and usability standards across products, collaborating with UX leads where needed.
- Act as a cross-functional hub for product initiatives - engaging closely with engineering, marketing, commercial leads, and agency users.
- Present progress and roadmap updates to senior stakeholders and contribute to strategic discussions across the product team.
- Define KPIs and success metrics for your products, tracking and reporting on performance regularly.
- Use analytics tools and user feedback loops to inform continuous product improvement and iteration.
- Support agency leads in demonstrating the value and ROI of product usage.
- Assess product performance through a commercial lens and contribute to business case development or ROI thinking.
- Lead the identification of commercial opportunities and work with stakeholders to define success criteria and monetisation potential.
- Take responsibility for driving measurable business impact through your product work, not just feature delivery.
