• Manage expectations with cross functional business leaders and Digital teams, Marketing, Creative, Engineering, Operations, and third-party vendors-to effectively prioritize, roll out and scale impactful initiatives.
• Create and maintain product roadmaps, feature backlogs and product documentation such as user stories, use cases, user flows, logic flows, and functional specifications.
• Provide clear visibility to all stakeholders on the progress of the initiative, highlighting any risks and issues in advance.
• Actively take ownership of any blockers/impediments to deliver results within the given timelines.

How we work

Iteratively.  We do weekly sprints, daily (if not more) deploys, and timely code reviews in order to ship quickly and minimize bugs.

Collaboratively.  We also work closely with marketing and the executive team to make sure we're delivering a product that can meet our business goals.

Flexibly.  While we strive to stick to a plan that we think is best for the company, we do actively incorporate experiment learnings and business feedback into our sprints as soon as we can.
