- Experience in managing/mentoring Product Owners and/or Product Managers
- Ability to handle multiple simultaneous projects while effectively balancing scope, resourcing, time, and quality
- Demonstrated success cross-functionally influencing teams without formal authority
- A strong sense of ownership and accountability for goals and deliverables
- Experience operating in a regulated environment is highly preferred.
What You Can Expect
