• Drive discovery and prioritisation, translating customer insight, business input, and market analysis into actionable product decisions.
• Shape product roadmaps that deliver both short‑term value and long‑term differentiation – balancing ambition with feasibility.
• Work directly with your engineering team, ensuring a well‑maintained and clearly prioritised backlog that delivers value early and often.
• Champion simplicity and usability – ensuring products are intuitive, effective, and enjoyable to use for a range of customer personas.
• Embed AI tools and automation into both internal product processes and client‑facing features to enhance productivity, insight and decision‑making.
