• Define and maintain the overall product roadmap and prioritization across all squads and product areas
• Translate the client’s business requirements and strategic objectives into actionable epics and features
• Work closely with Business Analysts (one per product area) to ensure consistent requirements quality and alignment with the product vision

• Manage stakeholder expectations — communicate progress, risks, and trade-offs to both client-side and internal leadership
• Drive scope and priority decisions when requirements conflict or resources are constrained
• Oversee the product from implementation through UAT, deployment, and MVP evolution
• Ensure the ramp-up plan aligns with product delivery milestones
