This role serves as a deep subject‑matter expert and market interpreter, translating customer needs, legal developments, and competitive dynamics into clear product and go‑to‑market direction. The Senior Product Manager partners closely with Editorial, with the Lead Product Manager responsible for the content roadmap, and with the other Product Managers to ensure that customer insight, content strategy, and commercial execution are tightly aligned.
