As business priorities shifted, I was tapped to lead a credit card vertical new product initiative for our website in July 2022. This effort is currently in development and spanning across 14 unique teams/functions within our organization. Due to the sensitivity around the project, I’m unable to comment until we have launched.Product research into our tech stack as it relates to enterprise search took place during my time in this role resulting in a full-business assessment of our existing search capabilities and future search abilities based on our business constraints.Ownership of CK’s Google Analytics 4 property was handed off to me in September 2022 and continues to this day. This includes, onboarding our Google Analytics instance from Universal Analytics (UA) to GA4, phased roadmap approach, and educational content to help our marketing teams make sense of what they can expect.

While formally on the SEO growth marketing team at Credit Karma, my role expanded to product ownership starting in August 2021 with our Financial Calculators (https://www.creditkarma.com/calculators). Over-time, I moved from Calculators to our Credit Cards vertical (product in final launch phase) with additional ownership responsibilities for enterprise search functionality (web & app) and Google Analytics 4 across our org.Courses completed during this time include:1) Analytics for Product Management through Reforge2) Product Manager Foundations through Reforge3) Blockchain & Web3 Strategies for Business Executives through MIT Sloan Business School (in-progress)This position is more reflective of the actual work I’ve been doing the past 1.5 years within Credit Karma and should be used as a guide for vetting my product management experience. Although my background will always be “marketing”, it’s important to note my transition from marketing to product unofficially occurred in August of 2021 with a concentration in technological product development. My day to day includes close collaboration with engineers (both front end and back end), legal, design, product leads, business development, cyber security, business intelligence, data science, and marketing leads across the org.

In the summer of 2021, I shared with my manager and team that SEO was not the long-term career path for me. I began exploring Product Marketing and Product Management as my next career move. In August 2021, my team began transitioning my work from SEO specific to website product ownership.During this time, I led the product development from start to finish for Credit Karma’s Financial Calculators (https://www.creditkarma.com/calculators if you’re curious). Scope involved managing the timeline, status, product decisions, and development in tight collaboration with external software engineering partners, growth technology product managers, legal counsel, internal software engineering partners, creative (design & copy), editorial, and marketing teams across each of our 7 product verticals.Prior to leading our calculator product, an on-going effort to “re-skin” our 4 legacy calculators had passed the 1 year mark. After taking over the product initiative, our team was able to complete the re-skin and launch 22 net-new calculators within 6 months once engineering support was provided. Brand awareness over time, post-launch improved among both members and non-members as our calculator footprint expanded.

Transitioned to the SEO org within CK as part of the talent redistribution initiative to avoid layoffs during the COVID pandemic. Grew my SEO knowledge base from “informed” to “dangerous”. Dangerous in this context meant my broad paid search, paid social, organic social, and now SEO experience led to a trusted SEO expert across the org. During this time I worked horizontally with teams across our organization to identify pain points in our SEO strategy. Initiatives aimed to reduce the tech debt in response to Google’s May 2020 algorithm update resulted in partial traffic recovery by December 2021.
