Understand business problems related to supply chain and manufacturing operations; identify and represent user needs by actively defining and aligning product requirements with stakeholder teams

Closely collaborate with SW engineers to design scalable and reliable data pipelines and systems. Evaluate technical trade-offs and influence architecture decisions

Become the single point of contact for the product, communicating effectively with cross-functional teams on a regular basis
