• Make clear recommendations about investment, prioritisation and trade-offs.

• Set the direction and priorities for the product roadmap in partnership with Product, Design and Engineering.

• Strong operational instincts and experience turning complex or manual processes into scalable operating models.
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to understand the few inputs that really drive a business.
• Experience leading multidisciplinary teams, including through influence rather than reporting lines.
• A track record of operating effectively in ambiguity and making decisions with imperfect information.
• Extremely high standards for customer experience and execution.
• The ability to move comfortably between long-term strategy and detailed operational problem-solving.
