  • Evaluate and champion opportunities to embed AI and automation into Pro Suite to improve dispatcher efficiency and outcomes
  • Work closely with UX/UI designers to create intuitive experiences for users working in high-pressure environments
  • Lead sprint planning, backlog grooming, and release planning activities with development teams
  • Coordinate the marketing of Pro Suite with our marketing team, including positioning, market segmentation, launch plans, pricing, and distribution strategy
  • Partner with marketing and sales to develop go-to-market strategies, messaging, and packaging for new features and releases
  • Prepare for and present product demos and roadmaps at customer meetings, trade shows, and industry conferences
  • Gather customer feedback through on-site visits, user interviews, and advisory board sessions, serving as the voice of the customer internally
  • Build strong relationships with sales, customer success, and professional services teams to understand customer challenges and market dynamics
  • Coordinate with third-party partners and technology vendors, including AI/ML solution providers, to integrate complementary capabilities
  • Provide product training and enablement to internal teams and customers
  • Participate in RFP responses and strategic customer engagements
  • Perform all other duties as assigned

Key Competencies

  • Customer-Centric Thinking: deep empathy for dispatchers and public safety users, translating their needs into product solutions
  • Strategic Vision: sees the big picture for Pro Suite while managing tactical, day-to-day execution
  • Technical & AI Acumen: comfortable discussing technical concepts, system architecture, and AI/ML capabilities with engineering teams
