As a Product Manager my responsibilities include as many objectives within software as they do within the marketing team. My primary objective is to build strong software requirements and prioritize them on a product road map. Performing this task well requires cultivating requirements through several stages by involving the right internal and external stakeholders at the correct stage while keeping the requirements focused on specific goals. I am also the lead analyst contact in Product Management to which I prepare scheduled information sessions with the top analyst groups in the country as well as lead online webinars for and with our analysts. My role also requires me to prepare and present materials for our quarterly conferences around the country.• Conducted weekly presentations, demos and RFP responses for the sales teams.• Successfully promoted products and solutions through presentations given at company events around the country.• Lead weekly meeting with all technical teams in Operations to ensure consistent progress.• Built strong requirements by working closely with internal and external solution stakeholders.• Prioritized back logs and epics for current and future Agile/Scrum sprints.• Wrote proof of concept solutions for more complex integrations such as a foundation for R&D determining proper and appropriate architecture.• Created documentation and training around the processes to reduce the costs of supporting clients.• Successfully implemented 75 projects with over $10,000,000.00 Million in value-add client billings while managing a team of consultants.• Provided training internally and externally on products and processes while being a client facing technical consultant.• Assisted in over 25 deals exceeding $25,000,000.00 Million as a sales enablement expert and product manager/lead consultant.• Built and oversaw the successful implementation of integrations with over 50 Accounts Payable (AP) and ERP systems.

In the Client Solutions Architect role I support key aspects of Verian Operations within Professional Services and Client Care. I own quality control on documentation and solutions delivered to clients, provide guidance on the more complex integration projects, run presentations for inbound client teams, provide support to our Tier Two Client Care team, and enforce processes internally. In addition to managing daily tasks to assist our clients achieve maximum value from the Verian product suite I spearhead internal process improvement initiatives to help drive low cost and high quality deliverables.

As a member of several small teams implementing multiple projects simultaneously, my role at Verian changes on a weekly basis. Consisting mainly of client-facing technical consulting, customization development, installations and troubleshooting, my objectives may also occasionally resemble those of a junior business analyst or lead support analyst. Adapting to the many positive changes of a small and growing technical firm is a great way to stay agile in the constant fluctuations of IT consulting.
