This role demands a business-builder orientation, with a strong emphasis on market leadership, product lifecycle management, and driving growth and profitability. The VP will be expected to lead a team of Product Managers and Product Marketing Strategists, fostering strong cross-functional partnerships to achieve market responsiveness and business impact. Key responsibilities include continuous market monitoring, guiding the full product lifecycle, driving revenue growth, and maintaining accountability for financial performance.
