• Identify gaps or opportunities in the product strategy or execution and provide ideas to address; drive strategic alignment and a plan forward • Identify areas of opportunity and develop a strategic point of view leveraging external research and resources (e.g., consumer product and social trends; competitive analysis across feed, search, onboarding, creator tools, moderation, notifications; emerging AI product patterns; community platforms and engagement loops) • Serve as a “second set of eyes” on behalf of the executive team for product plans and execution reviews • Partner hands-on with the CPO to take ambitious ideas from concept to prototype and validation – helping define hypotheses, shaping MVP scope, coordinating rapid experimentation (qual + quant), and building a clear, evidence-backed recommendation on whether to invest and bring those ideas to life (or not). This requires strong product experience and product judgment. • Align the product organization around the annual plan and drive performance – e.g., in partnership with the CPO, put in place a clear and effective Rhythm of Business, build/maintain goals, review forums and materials, and track action items within the CPO’s purview • Support the CPO to execute on the company-level operating rhythm (board meetings, QBRs, earnings calls), with a product lens and crisp narrative • Spearhead strategic explorations or initiatives from inception to execution (e.g., new product bets, portfolio tradeoffs, strategic planning processes, operating model upgrades) • Prioritize daily, weekly action items, delegating between themselves, EA, and CPO • Be a communication point in and out via a number of channels to teams • Principles-first problem-solver • Serve as the CPO’s go-to for solving critical product, business, and operational challenges • Anticipate potential roadblocks and proactively address to maintain momentum
