Product Performance & Optimization: Define success metrics for new features, analyze product usage data following releases, and use insights to refine product priorities and identify opportunities for continuous improvement.

Strategic Product Contribution: Collaborate with the Chief Product Officer and broader Product Management team to support product vision, strategy, roadmap development, and long-term portfolio objectives.

AI-Enabled Product Practices: Develop and share reusable AI workflows, prompts, templates, and best practices that improve product team productivity, consistency, and delivery efficiency.

AI Quality & Data Protection: Review AI-generated outputs for accuracy, accessibility, and security while ensuring customer and public agency information remains protected when using AI-powered tools.
