You will be responsible for taking the strategic product vision and driving it through the development lifecycle, ensuring our engineering teams deliver high-quality software on time, and that our Go-To-Market teams are fully equipped for flawless commercial launches.
- Key Responsibilities
- Execution & Backlog Management: Partner with our Vertical Product Strategy leaders to ingest their product requirements and translate them into deeply detailed, actionable development plans, Epics, and sprint backlogs for engineering.

- In-Market & Lifecycle Management: Act as the primary operational product owner for the live WAVE PTX platform. Manage sustaining engineering priorities, technical debt resolution, and critical customer escalations to ensure high system reliability and customer retention.
- Go-To-Market (GTM) Readiness: Spearhead the New Product Introduction (NPI) process for all WAVE PTX releases. Ensure marketing, sales enablement, support, and billing systems are fully prepared before a feature goes live.
- Agile Bottleneck Resolution: Serve as the daily unblocker for the engineering teams. Proactively identify dependencies, capacity constraints, and technical risks, ruthlessly clearing obstacles to maintain high engineering velocity.
- Performance Tracking: Monitor post-launch product performance, tracking software adoption rates, system stability metrics, and operational costs, feeding this data back to the strategy teams to inform future roadmaps.
