- Conduct research and competitive analysis to inform roadmap decisions.
- Document findings from stakeholder interviews, incident reviews, and backlog grooming sessions.
- Gather and synthesize feedback from internal platform consumers such as application developers, data analysts, and other PMs to identify friction points and unmet needs.
- Aid in running lightweight discovery sessions and translating qualitative feedback into structured problem statements.
- Maintain data pipeline health and flag issues across ingestion, transformation, and delivery layers.
