- Synthesize and collaborate with core stakeholders to build the product roadmap ensuring business objectives are achieved, stakeholders are informed, and efforts are prioritized appropriately.
- Maintain a complete system approach to problem solving ensuring all interdependencies, future expansion, and change management are accounted for.
- Actively contribute to the product management culture and foundation of product management at Hadrian.

- Ability to assess the essence of the problem, provide a structured approach to finding solutions, and organization to align the team.
- Proven ability to think critically about tactical challenges while also maintaining a clear long term strategic perspective.
- Ease in aligning and prioritizing cross-functional teams, including engineering, operations, and supply chain.
- Experience synthesizing a variety of inputs into a product roadmap that ultimately achieves business objectives.
