In this role, I split time 50/50 between managerial / leadership duties, and filling individual contributor needs. I worked alongside three other director-level teammates to collaboratively lead Product, Design, Analysis, Engineering, and Ops organization, prioritize work, and plan sprints. I met weekly with heads of other internal departments to understand needs and triage, and worked with company leadership to turn vision into a coherent and executable long-term strategy.As an IC, I spent mornings knee-deep in analytics, pivoting spreadsheets and often launching new event collection to uncover user insights to guide our decisions. I collab'd with UX designers on user interviews, built prototypes and production A-B tests in code, problem-solved with engineers, gave CSS talks to interns, and otherwise contributed in a multitude of ways outside of the traditional bounds of product management to keep the team moving efficiently.
