  • Develop deep expertise in our customers, the competitive landscape, and the broader category, and turn that insight into a point of view that informs product and marketing decisions.

  • Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional initiatives and influence without authority across product, design, and brand teams.
  • Comfort with ambiguity and a bias toward action in a fast-moving environment.
  • Genuine curiosity about customers and a habit of grounding decisions in their needs.
