  • Troubleshoot and resolve product and system issues.
  • Technical Understanding & Collaboration

  • Maintain a deep understanding of system architecture across applications, databases, integrations, and cloud services.
  • Translate product requirements into technical specifications in partnership with engineering teams.
  • Ensure clear communication across product, engineering, design, vendors, and business stakeholders.
  • Migration Management

  • Track and manage application migrations, ensuring minimal disruption to users.
  • Identify prerequisites, dependencies, and blockers that may impact development or deployment.
  • Performance Tracking & Analysis

  • Define and monitor KPIs to measure product success and inform roadmap decisions.
