- Customer Insights: Conduct regular interviews with customers, partners, and internal teams, leveraging usability studies to uncover challenges and validate hypotheses for improving identity and governance experiences.
- Data-Driven Decisions: Analyze and improve existing metrics to better capture user behavior. Drive projects to establish new metrics, focusing on identity & governance patterns that influence business growth and reduce churn.
- Strategic Planning: Define the strategy and roadmap for identity and governance capabilities across all products. Continuously adapt based on market trends, customer feedback, and internal input.
- Execution: Partner closely with the engineering team(s) to incrementally build new identity & governance capabilities and improve existing ones, by addressing teams’ questions, helping make trade-offs, communicating any risks & dependencies to relevant stakeholders, and doing acceptance testing.
- Collaboration: Work cross-functionally with security & compliance, marketing, sales, customer success, legal, documentation, and other product & engineering teams. Gain insights and communicate hypotheses, goals, and findings in conversations across teams.

- Experience driving the end-to-end product lifecycle, working autonomously to conduct user interviews, dig in on metrics, define requirements, run a process with engineering to deliver the product, measure success, and iterate. You partner with your engineering colleagues and other cross-functional teams, and sweat the details to ensure they have a clear and efficient plan of execution.
