A bachelor’s degree or higher; a degree in computer science or a related technical discipline is preferred but not required.
A technologist mindset and sufficient technical depth to understand the product and ecosystem, and read and understand code and how components fit together; some coding experience is beneficial.
An evangelist mindset, and the ability to lead by example to encourage learning and adoption of AI solutions across the firm.
Keen prioritization and business cost/benefit analysis skills; a data-driven approach to evaluating product success, with the flexibility to change direction as the industry continues to evolve.
Excellent user-interviewing skills, with a deep interest in partnering closely with users to understand problems and transform workflows.
