- Validate product functionality across product areas using data, SQL queries, logs, and internal tooling.
- Maintain high-quality issue definitions that improve product engineering’s ability to respond quickly and accurately.

- Communicate release changes to customers, support training on new features, and ensure smooth adoption.
- Partner with Product to refine release notes, customer-facing documentation, and help-center content.
Ideal Background

- Clear communicator who can translate between technical teams and end users with ease.
- High sense of ownership, reliability, and urgency in driving issues to full resolution.
- Comfort partnering closely with product managers and engineers, and contributing to product thinking.
