• Partner with product leadership (including the CEO and CTO, 2/3 co-founders) to develop and maintain the product roadmap in your product area. You’ll iterate on the roadmap based on user feedback, industry trends, company objectives, and product strategy. The roadmap will be as much yours as it is products’.
