What you will do

• Translate publisher feedback, internal signals, and support patterns into evidence-based product decisions and prioritised trade-offs.
• Write clear problem statements, specifications, and PRDs that Engineering can build from directly.
• Partner with Engineering, Data Science, and Commercial teams through delivery, measurement, risk management, and iteration.

• Comfort engaging with unfamiliar technical systems and holding detailed conversations with Engineers and Data Scientists.
• Ability to own broad, ambiguous problem spaces and create clarity.
• Comfort working directly with data, including SQL or spreadsheet-level analysis; willingness to use and extend AI-assisted product workflows.
