- Work in collaboration with other PMs to ensure that District needs are addressed across various product teams, and alignment of user experience across district admins, teachers and learners.
- Product execution (including requirements elaboration, communication, alignment, research, roadmap ownership, managing trade-offs) that enables the team to have rapid iterations of build-measure-learn while ensuring stability of the enterprise product.
- Ownership of outcomes related to Districts product and district admin experience.
- Use both qualitative and quantitative feedback to develop key user insights and drive product improvements by being the voice of district admins.
