- Product sense and comfort operating in ambiguous problem spaces.
- Ability to collaborate with product managers, domain experts, operations teams, and engineers to simplify messy workflows.
- Ability to take problems from customer pain through architecture, implementation, rollout, measurement, and iteration.
