• Develop and facilitate hands on training workshops for product and agile principles
• Identify gaps, inefficiencies, and inconsistencies in current product practices and recommend improvements to enhance speed and product quality
• Monitor adoption and effectiveness of standards through defined metrics, continuously iterating based on feedback and performance
• Act as a steward of consistency across the product organization, ensuring scalable and repeatable ways of working
• Stay current with industry trends and best practices in product management and agile methodologies, continuously seeking opportunities for improvement and innovation.
