WHY THIS ROLE IS IMPORTANT FOR US

The Head of Strategic Product Enablement role is a strategic partnership position responsible for co-owning critical CPO-driven priorities and ensuring execution with substance, rigor, and accountability across the product management organization.

This role owns the strategic content, quality, and business impact of what the PM organization produces—roadmaps, business cases, strategy documents, and major product decisions.
