As a member of the Global Product Data Operations team, I currently manage a portfolio of data collection programs and globally distributed teams to deliver large-scale datasets that train, power, and advance critical machine learning models that run the business. In this role, I have a track record of building productive partnerships with Product, Engineering, Finance, and Policy teams to ensure our teams are able to build products efficiently and responsibly, while evolving our operational strategy and processes to optimize for long-term success.Some achievements include:- Led key initiatives that yielded $25M+ in savings to reduce ops overhead, streamline product development timelines, and ensure efficient utilization of product resources- Designed a wide range of operational processes to keep cross-functional teams running smoothly, including managing over $80M in opex, tracking portfolio reviews, reporting data quality, and product/systems testing.- Conducted comprehensive quantitative and qualitative analysis to launch 20+ updates to business policies and SOPs to build a safer content ecosystem across the family of apps to improve product metrics- Supported new product launches and integrity initiatives to protect users, creators, and advertiser experiences by owning and executing on quarterly operational roadmaps (from project scoping, capacity planning, budget forecasting, to external vendor management), and driving alignment across cross-functional leadership teams to deliver on emerging business priorities.

In my first 2 years at Meta as a Product Marketing Manager, I learned what it meant to "move fast", delivering 30+ product and process launches across a suite of high-priority internal tools to scale the business effectively. These improvements, designed to improve productivity, efficiency, and compliance, played a crucial role in enabling the company to double in size during this critical growth phase.This role brought together the areas of work I enjoy most — operating at the intersection of (1) project management, (2) product development, and (3) engaging with users to deliver meaningful product experiences. Learnings from this role included:- Leading stakeholder buy-in and management across different business functions to align on product strategies, and bringing them along throughout the product development journey (from scoping, setting exit criteria on go/no go decisions, to defining launch plans)- Experimenting with different user testing approaches throughout the product development process (i.e. design validation, user acceptance, alpha, and beta sessions) to gather usability feedback and feeding valuable findings back for prototype iterations. - Translating the complex web of user insights - from user research sessions or feedback channels, analyzing product adoption and/or engagement data, bug and feature requests, market research, and etc - into thematic business problems and shaping product strategies.- Adopting constant vigilance for risk assessment and mitigation practices, especially after working on data privacy, rights, and regulatory compliance projects!- Honing the art and practice storytelling (saying more with less) when it comes to effective change management and drafting compelling launch communications.

After 2.5 years in Customer Success, I transitioned to the Product team to learn more about what it takes to bring critical new features and functionalities to market. Partnering with Engineering, Product Design, and Lever's leadership team to execute on a packed mid-stage startup product roadmap, my day to day included:- Managing feature requests from customers, as well as our cross-functional parters in Customer Success, Solutions Architecture, Marketing, and Sales/Sales Engineers- Conducting market research to identify key opportunities for roadmapping- Collecting product adoption and engagement data (across user roles, customer segments, integration partners and vendors, etc)- Investigating bug escalations bugs and recommending product improvements or solutions- Creating documentation and training materials for releases to internal teams and external customers- Leading product readiness assessments through internal dogfooding with engineering teams and user acceptance testing with customers- Serving as the product subject matter expert across the business- Maintaining data dashboards to measure key product usage and adoptions metrics Being on a Product team of 8 allowed me to apply Lever's core values to new heights — from embracing "don't trust comfortable" when adapting to new challenges, to "raising the bar" when it comes to efficiency, and to "knowing why" for delivering purposeful and meaningful work.
