• Write and present the product requirements document
• Oversee and sign off on the functional spec
• Oversee the product as it is being built by development/engineering
• Communicate with stakeholders during the development of a product to keep them updated
• Coordinate testing of a product, including user acceptance testing, alpha and beta programs
• Collect, coordinate, and prioritize bug fixes

• Consistently ensures alignment by engaging stakeholders at the right time and using a wide range of communication techniques to paint a clear picture of 'why, how and when'
• Optimize priorities and scope to ensure maximum value is delivered (maximize outcomes, not outputs)
• Minimal (less than 25%) travel required both domestic and international to Sovos locations and events
